So if the players like Unai and think him ( And them by default ) have been disrespected, I can't see them taking it well. As another poster saidz well probably find out alot more when he's gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're exactly right. We have a legal dispute where the person on the other side just curses us lawyers consistently and copies the whole world on his little email screeds. We calmly build the case against to kick his little dick into the dirt, and soon. Monchi is going to be the same way: this is all very cute, and we're going to make our money.... because if he doesn't go to West Ham, he's going to look a right fool now won't he. So, Duran's agent, guess you better do what it takes on your end to get this done...or your client's payday, and by extension yours, never arrives. Now go get your shine box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 28 minutes ago, Adam2003 said: We’d all be laughing if Felix was doing “come and get me” videos for Villa. No need to get bent out of shape. A few great goals and £20m profit in 18 months is lovely for us, whatever anyone posts on Instagram. You're probably right... But we are Villa fans after all. It's automatic to be defensive about feeling we are beijg disrespected or belittled. Just allow us our " anger / joy " moment. JANGER... If you will!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I wouldn’t mind him sitting in the reserves for six months. Not my £40m, but it would be nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) I have it on good authority that the picture from today is because Duran loves Simon Cowell and is desperate to be on the next X Factor. Big fan of the show apparently. I think we all owe big Jhon an apology. Edited July 26 by ferguson1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Christ.

So if the players like Unai and think him ( And them by default ) have been disrespected, I can't see them taking it well. As another poster saidz well probably find out alot more when he's gone Unai’s the furthest you could get from that… as for John Love how Bailey has matured and even grown into a bit of a leader since Unai has worked with him. Delighted to see him sign that new deal and he has only ever spoken positively about the club and Unai. Even called himself “a Villa fan” also that he’s the funniest manager he’s worked with and how much of a contrast it has been working in a detached way under SG, whereas Unai always involves you… to the extent that you don’t mind starting games on the bench. You’re given clarity and guidance and also respected (two way street) and valued as a player. It’s clear that he admires and respects his manager, if he and his fellow players are kind of “rallying behind him”… that’s excellent. Without asking for or demanding it, Unai just automatically commands respect… that’s how good he is. Imagine his aura or presence. We only want players that are invested in what he is doing, fortunately the vast majority of them appear to be. You could see that Leon kind of made an effort with Jhon… seemed like he was the only one (Liverpool) or the first to go n congratulate him when he scored and spend time with him during training (evident in the vids the club would release). As McGinn kind of let on…seems like he’s a difficult guy to work with and doesn’t show the required level of professionalism and respect (literally said that). I imagine the players are sick of him and would be glad to see the back of him. This kid is wasting a glorious opportunity, getting to work with, learnt from, develop under and improve under one of the very best around… elite level coaching. All because of a lack of patience and understanding or perspective. F HIM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_AA_786 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 2 hours ago, sidcow said: He definitely gives off the patented "could have been a great but was too mad" Mario Balotelli vibe. Honestly don't give a **** about his petulant little X gesture as I don't think he has the intelligence to be doing it as a thought out tactic to force a move. What I would say is that he has talent but should look to the example of Mario Balotelli who was on another planet in terms of both craziness/stupidity and ability. Mario was arguably one of the most gifted players to ever grace Serie A and he let it all fizzle away. If he couldn't channel it, then Duran needs to get some much better people around him or he'll be lucky to be playing in any top flight in 6-7 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 33 minutes ago, Anything11 said: And people were claiming his attitude problems were overblown I think people were mostly claiming there simply wasn't the evidence in the public domain. It's not the first time fans have decided they hate a player because he doesn't smile enough by their standards or something equally silly. The first piece of actual evidence was probably McGinn's words. Now there is loads that makes it clear he was a big issue. Maybe others will want to apologise for giving a player the benefit of the doubt and change their approach going forwards, but I certainly won't. All that said, I look forward to him being someone else's problem if he doesn't manage to blow the deal up before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 27 Popular Post Share Posted July 27 I've been down the Villa three times during Emery's reign. The first was in April after Emery arrived. Duran came out after the match to sign yet ignored many of the kids there, including my son (eight at the time) he was gutted and ever since he never really liked Duran. Consequently my son got to meet his favourites, Buendia, Cash, Watkins, Martinez who stayed to meet EVERY single fan. They are legit good people. I tried to explain to my son in a diplomatic way that he (Duran) maybe didn't see you but in truth you could tell what he was like. I never said anything at the time but now seems the right time.I Another who I was disappointed to see never acknowledge the fans was Douglas Luiz, which was a shame because we really liked him. In contrast I've met Emery a few times after games waiting to meet the players with my son. So on two occasions he was there for an hour meeting EVERYONE, selfies, talking, signing etc. He's a legend as a manager and a human being. I'm not surprised he sees through Duran.
