sharkyvilla Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 You could sense Unai wasn't a fan of his attitude on the pitch. Still managed to get some decent output from him and I don't blame Duran for wanting to go to play regular footy, he seems the type who would enjoy the London lifestyle and attention. I'm intrigued as to who we have lined up to replace him, unless they feel Rogers has the potential to be Ollie's understudy plus they think Archer's homegrown status makes him worth keeping.

Which, whatever people's view of his attitude, we can broadly agree he has a good deal of. Plus him doing quite well at the level in which West Ham compete and that we are a top four club right now meaning we can get a nice sum for our back-ups just as the other teams that end of the table often do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very hard to predict because we don't even know the 23/24 accounts to give us a help to project the 24/25 ones. I think with Jack money rolling off we'll need about £50-60m realistically. So Duran bringing in 25-30m is about half of what we'll need. It depends on how many players com in also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 55 minutes ago, villa89 said: His ability level is what's in question, from what we've seen so far he needs a lot of improvement to make it as a PL striker. He’s lashed in screamers against some of the best teams in the country. It’s totally ok to think he’s not going to make it for whatever reason, but he’s clearly already someone who will likely score 10+ goals in a PL season if he’s playing regularly (just based on his record per minute for us) and there’s almost no-one of his age who that is true of. £35m is great though because if he does go on to be a £100m player we won’t feel too sore about it, but if he crashes like many on here predict then we have banked a nice profit anyway for someone who isn’t playing much. My guess is he ends up somewhere between those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezzaleed Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 seems to be a lot of people on here arguing he'll self implode and not fulfill his potential. not sure what this is based on. his problems have been based around wanting game time and getting pissed off without it. At West Ham he'll likely get it and, to me, he looked determined to make the most of that game time. I think it's a good deal for us but I also think it's a good deal for West Ham and I can see him scoring some worldies for them as well as getting a couple of red cards. that said I reckon he'll get 15 goals and him and bowen will be a stronger forward line than West ham have had for ages. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF he ends up a £100m player we end up getting another 8.5m so we will get 35 + 6.5 + any add ons we get also Edited July 9 by CVByrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 We're basically generated 20m in the space of 1 year, which is pretty much on par with our supposedly blockbuster Adidas commercial deal. This is the way to make money. Unfortunately it means we'll have some talents slip through the cracks but it's the only way to compete. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleVilla Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I mean even meatballs said he's a bit crazy. Good business for us and a bit of a loose canon. We can get someone in Unai wants and hopefully someone who can be a bit more consistent and learn from Ollie and the coaching staff. Orrrrrr we have Rodgers and we keep Archer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Too bad for West Ham they dismissed Moyes, Duran would be perfect in a Moyes/Bruce/Allerdyce team - roll up your sleeves, kick it long, run and hit it as hard as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
