Biskitt Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I will miss Duran a bit as it was always fun/chaos when he came on and you never knew if you'd get a screamer, a booking or a scuffle. He's clearly got some ability and physical attributes but it's far from guaranteed he's going to be a top player, he could very easily end up as a Colombian Carlton Cole (with a bit of Balotelli thrown in).

TheMelvillan Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Still a wee bit gutted to be losing both the chaos twins in one window What we gonna do now - bring on professional players who can follow instructions, not get carded and win the game through legitimate great ability and gameplay?!?! Rubbish. Monchi out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPAngel Posted July 27 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27 This has definitely added an additional layer of spice to the first game of the season hasn’t it? Duran also seems the type of guy to throw up the Zulu “Z” at our fans if he scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Looking at it coldly - which is surely how Monchi will do it: - Duran has been with us since January 2023. - Watkins has grown into one of the best forwards in Europe - Duran hasn’t taken the step up that we hoped. still v v rough despite eighteen months of elite coaching - Duran shows signs of being so erratic that the usually reserved captain is publicly commenting on it - Duran clearly wants a move and has an agent who is increasingly aggressive Sale is best for everyone.

And we need to book a bunch of profits this season as Jack rolls off the books. Diaby and Duran help this a lot. We still need more though I think but might leave that for fun with our friends next June. Just give Chelsea a call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs regular game time and to be the No1. Also helps when a manager wants you and wants to spend a lot of money to get you.

I agree, but that will be when the pain starts for West Ham. Just imagine what he will be like when he starts to do well! Im glad we will be out of it!

And me In he starts 30+ games he'll get double figures He's a good signing for them, for that value and us having Ollie he's a good sale for us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 And then he’ll **** them over and try and get a move to the next club. Need to get rid of this guy asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has talent no doubt, but the mixture of his arrogance and his new club's arrogance it will dulled and diminished... Look at the attacking talent they have had previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham I don't rate, nor do I rate their manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
