Demitri_C Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Anything above 40m for him i think that is fantastic business for us. He is just potential right now. This gives us the chance to bring in some real quality- clears our FFP issues and probably means we can get gallagher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 51 minutes ago, Mr_Dogg said: Chelsea don't have a manager, they have a head coach. Fair point and probably where they are going wrong. You’d never see the likes of Pep, Arteta and Klopp let a player be signed without their nod of approval. Anyway back on topic. No issue with selling Duran. Obviously need a replacement though.

AV82 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) I really struggle to imagine anyone with a personality like him being consistent and reaching a top level. Given our precarious position I'd take 35m+ any day of the week over rolling the dice to see if he might make the step up. Then again I have no idea what he's really like behind the curtain so it's impossible to judge. Edited June 12 by AV82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted June 12 Popular Post Share Posted June 12 (edited) I've never warmed to the guy so I'm thrilled if he's off for big money. I know he's a young man in a foreign country, but even so most 20 year olds don't act like such petulant arses. I feel like he's largely forced this move - it seems like he's been trying to leave since the minute he arrived - and normally with a player like that you'd be looking at a big loss, not doubling your money. Get him out the door before they change their minds IMO. TL/DR - Edited June 12 by HanoiVillan 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshvillan Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 50 million euros ....An older Tammy Abraham for 25 million ....? If Jhon goes on to be a world beater or Ballotelli its likely Villa/Unai made the right call at the time with the information they had. I do quite like the Columbian lunatic though ha!

Teale's 'tache Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Reported figures seem good money, too good to turn down in our current situation, I'd hope there's some kind of sell-on clause, just in case, because the potential is certainly there in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if Monchi tried to throw in a buy-back clause as well, he seems to love those. I think it's a good move for all concerned really, Duran needs to be playing games if he's going to improve, he's not going to be happy spending another season stuck behind Ollie, and weirdly there's more chance of game time for him at Chelsea. Chelsea want young, high-potential players and Duran is exactly that. We need the money to re-shape our squad, though it's not that easy to find backup forwards of real quality, so it might be a case of filling the gap with someone who can play across the front line rather than a dedicated forward.

Tommo_b Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 He’s still only young though, lots of maturing to do. Cant help but feel this would be a transfer sale we come to regret massively. Only time will tell, but for my eye test, he could go on to be one of the top strikers in world football in 5 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been a world beater if he played during the late 90s/early 00s though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me personally.. i dont think he is ready for that London lifestyle, he could barely manage the West Midlands lol.. Being driven everywhere will push him to the brink!

bannedfromHandV Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 The problem with Duran right now is that you cannot build a system around him, he’s too maverick, too individual, I think that was made evidently clear in the post match comments from McGinn after the 3-3 with Liverpool. He may come good, that may happen next season or in 3+ years time, he might never get there. Undoubtedly talented, able to score special goals, but if you cannot trust him to carry out team instructions then it creates a risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
