Adam2003 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 1 hour ago, Awol said: with the disrespect he’s chosen to publicly show the club (and by extension the manager) there’s no way he can come back from that now - imo I think he’ll leave but if he stayed it would take about three goals to turn things around and all be forgiven. Seen it time and time again at basically every club in the world! He will end up going for £38 plus addons though I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything11 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Duran won't have a problem with Emery if he has to stay outside of his usual tactical frustrations. However, after throwing up the hammers I think he will have more of a problem with the other players in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was to stay, I can see a large majority booing him when he enters the field and that’s a distraction we don’t need during games. Best he goes in this window for everyone concerned.

villa4europe Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 11 hours ago, romavillan said: An unlikely but perfect outcome would be him staying, realising his representation is shite, growing up, getting a proper agent and letting Emery turn him into a world beating striker. Yep This time next year west ham are furious that they didn't pay the "cheap" £40m for him Him staying and rotting in the reserves or anything negative, no doubt some fans will never forgive him or something such bollocks it's of zero benefit to us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans will be fans They'll bitch and moan that he's childish and immature and does stupid things and then if he stays they'll refuse to buy the official calender cos he's on the month of April 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stays, the club can help with his relationship with the fans. Do some good PR, somE positive comments from Emery, show that his team mates are all happy with him, fan engagement etc If he scores some important goals and toes the line, it would be fine.

CVByrne Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I still would prefer him to stay another season as he will get more game time and he's an impactful player. We can look to sell him next summer then. This isn't a Coutinho or Dendonker type situation where a players value has peaked in the past and they're not really in the clubs plans or will be in Squad for PL/CL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) Unai and McGinn have hinted he is hard to work with. He deletes any association to Villa on social media any chance he gets. He did a West Ham sign to wind up fans. He plays like a petulant kid that nobody passes the ball too and has visible strops on the pitch. Yet some fans want him to stay. edit: forgot to mention in his very young career he already has 35 yellow cards!

And in addition I don't buy the argument that his value won't go down if he stays. Won't his contract be running down for a start? And his reputation. And it is unlikely he gets as much game time after all his antics. Now is our best chance to sell. Edited July 30 by Captain_Townsend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want him to stay but the club clearly don’t want to sell him below his valuation or send a message to other players that acting up on social media can force the club into a cheap sale. Therefore it would be about making the best of a bad situation if he does stay without decreasing his value by bomb squading him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not done a Savo and spat at any fans. If he scores against West Han, fans will still cheer. He still under contract as it stands. There’s zero to gain by selling him below our valuation - if people want to be frustrated about the West Ham blame them - they are trying to get him on the cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all working hard together to try to win and he is trying to seduce other teams rather than get on board - like he is too good to do so.

Not to say it can't be forgiven but many won't be impressed. You cannot say I’m mistaken with any certainty. Look at the Fernandez interview incident, will the French players at Chelsea still play with him? Of course they will. What Duran has done is no where near that bad, and I’d imagine some players either don’t know about it or will not care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
