thunderball Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 48 minutes ago, Don_Simon said: This is a little unfair as when he started he either played with the "second string" or in a two with Ollie which we were incapable of executing. (He's still an absolute bellend, but I won't hold the above against him). But that’s the point, the point is I can only remember thinking how poor he was when he started games. Sometimes that’s the way, it’s easier coming on against tired legs or with a very narrow brief as a late sub. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Honestly do not give a shit that he is gone. And that speaks volumes about him. Good luck West ham you are going to need it. I think the reality of Duran is that SJM interview where a fellow pro called him a nightmare. Never seen that before. Get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 1 hour ago, AntrimBlack said: I am not that bothered about him. Sure he is big-headed and stupid, but there are plenty like him. I just have not been impressed by him on the field. He scored some cracking goals but also missed plenty; apart from that he blundered about the field like a loose cannon, and threw plenty of histrionics. Actually, that was what I liked about him; he was comical. I certainly do not see him as a top striker, so I say grab the money with both hands and get rid. Fully agree with all of this. And one of the most important qualities is to connect and understand your team mates imo, almost never saw him do that. In top class players you can see how they directly connect with their team mates, in Duran I saw extreme physical abilities but not that required footballing intelligence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Brum_Aus_Villan Posted July 28 Popular Post Share Posted July 28 It started so well with that Juan Pablo video when he was sitting in the Holte. If this guy is behaving like this when we've had our best season in forever, what would he be like when we hit a tough patch? Good Riddance can't wait to see the back of him. . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say it's best he moves on. Why would you say this without adding more? Someone I know who works there says he's an angel. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 It’s hardly surprising that his profile image on Instagram is Dennis Rodman. We all know that he did his own thing when he wanted whilst he was at the Chicago Bulls. Was always brilliant on the court, but a coaches worst nightmare of it. Sometimes it’s best for the team to remove that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Onana taking number 24 is probably enough of a hint that he won't be back. Unless he's taking #9 and the redemption arc is in full swing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Good fee for a developing player with an attitude problem. Don't get me wrong, he could do very well as a first choice starter, but I'm very comfortable to have a character like that away from our squad, and I'm not sure he'll ever realise his full potential unless he grows up significantly. Would be happy with the sale if it goes through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 The guy has everything you'd want physically and somewhat technically but his head is all wrong. He's got one of the best managers in the world as his boss, who could take him further levels but it's obvious he doesn't care about that and it's all about the now. He'll have his moments but he will not be the player he could be. His age is not relevant, there are plenty his age who have their head screwed on in the game. Good riddance, he'll find it harder starting games coming up against fresher defenders than coming on as a sub against defenders that Ollie, Bailey and co have run ragged for him to exploit.

DakotaVilla Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Emery is all about extreme professionalism and the team. We have zero time for any egos and have only put up with his antics for so long due to his age. Hopefully this move can be completed sooner rather than later so that everyone can put this wasted oxygen and energy to better use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he leaves then, it started well and ended well. If he had any issues, then us gaining this profit (while maximizing our benefit last season in terms of CL place) is really good deal. I don’t think anything what he says affects me, I just want the best for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
