He's made it abundantly clear that he doesn't mind moving to another club and that is a cardinal sin to fans. Yeah it really isn't that bad honestly. I think he seems to rate himself a little too much and seems a bit immature, but good that he backs himself and wants to play football. Also he's very young. I think it's good that we get profit on players who don't want to be here though, so don't really mind him leaving. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted July 25 Popular Post Share Posted July 25 So we’re getting rid a bad apple, who doesn’t want to be here, for close to double what we paid and taking the best young player from a club who aspires to be as good as us who we’ll immediately send on loan and then sell in 12 months time for £20m? Monchi, you bad, bad man. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Is he still here?! I'd say the stalling for the deal is our end whilst we line up either a replacement or a system so we don't need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Spammers can do one. £30m is nothing. He'll be worth 50m next summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing I’ve seen in him that makes me feel that he is going to be anything more than a squad player let alone world class.

sharkyvilla Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Is Antonio too old now to consider as part of the deal? He at least kind of shares some physical attributes of Ollie. Orford looks a very good prospect but I don't see much of a pathway to first team football for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 It’s a decent price, we just need to spend it wisely on a replacement just like we do with the Diaby money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I do think Duran has the potential to be exceptional, let’s hope he doesn’t smash it at West Ham but I’ve a feeling he will. Haven’t got a scooby who is coming the other way from them. West Ham definitely a potential rival next season. That right back they’re after is very good too and would certainly improve us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing I’ve seen in him that makes me feel that he is going to be anything more than a squad player let alone world class. If you’re right you have to wonder why Chicago Fire, Aston Villa and now West Ham have spent continually increasing numbers of millions of pounds on him (most expensive teenager in our history by many millions), how he is in a decent Colombia squad so young and why the likes of John McGinn and Unai Emery (neither known for blowing smile up arses) say he has the ability to be one of the best strikers in the world - but maybe you’ll turn out to be correct! Good to have the sell-on clause in there though just in case they turn out to be right. Smart way to do business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_AA_786 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) Had hoped for more but if the best deal we can get is £30m, a sell on clause and a random kid who'll be 25th on our midfield depth chart but may get us a few bob down the road.... then **** it. Bye Jhon! Annoyingly think he'll increase in value by playing week in week out for them. Hope I'm wrong and he starts letting off fireworks in bathrooms Edited July 25 by _AA_786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleVilla Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I'm still not convinced that the current setup will be around for a long time. Duran could be a household name in 5 years time. But I feel like he's going to inconsistent for a while. He's young, and still learning. That with his attitude might be the downfall of him. Could say the same about James. He's floated across numerous clubs over his career but never lasted. Pulls out a few worldies here and there and lives off that. It's a great bit of business for us and if he shines we make some more money off him. Win win for us. The only issue I have is who is backup to Ollie? I'm assuming Rodgers (and at the moment Archer).

Great thinking from him to play him in order to show his talents and get the money. Unai is a clever man, he decided to play chess instead of getting upset in the press. As ever, just shows the class of the man. Never let on there were ever any issues, when there have seemingly been plenty. Always respectful and dignified. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
