jacketspuds Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Really not bothered by this deal. £42m is a great price for him, and it allows us more room to manoeuvre this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Aidos jhon. His behaviour loving off eveeything chelsea leaves abit of a sour taste and abit of disrespect to our fans. I think he will be easier to replace than luiz 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. There's certainly a chance Duran comes very, very good though. He's got all the attributes. But, right now, we can't be gambling on that when there's a, what, £32m-ish profit to be made? We need that right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaacckk91 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I'll be honest I'll be sad to see him leave, just based on the eye test it's obvious he has every physical attribute you could want, pace, strength, aggression, he can finish, and has that ability to really connect with the ball. His limit will be his discipline, if he can learn to better follow instruction and channel his disruptive energy into the opposition instead of his team mates he will be world class. I personally would like to see that at villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) Could be awesome, but his character suggests neither player or club has the patience to develop him. Sometime things dont work out or the timing is wrong, and in this instance its a personality flaw that has prevented it from working out. The Chelsea strategy might work eventually, they are on a different path, but it could be disastrous too. Happy to walk a sensible, sustainable road while still maintaining a solid, upward trajectory. We will replace him with some one who offers the club more now when we need it, think Albert Adomah arriving for Adamah Traore.

The Fun Factory Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 If 40 mil is correct that would be a stunning piece of business for a player who has been with us for less than 2 years and has larger been reduced to a series of entertaining cameos. He has been fun to watch but if he wants to leave then so be it. I can't see him being consistent enough to be world class player he is just too nuts. Touch of the Balotelli about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I've got no doubt he's talented, and his goals were important for our campaign - but I've got no affinity to him. He's not really done anything to connect with the supporters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Just now, HeyAnty said: How feck Chelsea able to spend? By selling their hotel back to themselves essentially, plus they are shifting Omari Hutchinson and Broja for about £60 mill combined which is insane imo.

He's not really done anything to connect with the supporters. This is simply not true, every home game he passes the ball amongst all the young mascots during the warm-up before the game, no other player has done this, and he's done similar with the ball boys at half-time as well, he waves to fans, celebrated that goal in europe about 20 times... Weirdly people just choose to forget those kinds of things about him, and just run with the current narrative that he's totally mental and has no affinity to the club whatsoever. I think he's had a hard time fitting in, which is understandable as he's a young kid in a foreign country, used to being fast-tracked his whole career and being the main man, now just a bit part player, very few in the squad around his age, people seem to just ignore all of this and expect him to be some uber professional like a seasoned pro, not everybody finds that mindset so easy at his age. I think the sale at the prices being mentioned is a good deal for everyone, I just don't think he's this uncontrollable, ungrateful lunatic that needs shoving out the door. I think with help, support, patience, and guidance he could become a really really good player, if he gets that at Chelsea remains to be seen, but he should at least get a bit more game time and looking at Chelsea's squad a group of players closer to his own age to integrate with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
