They can’t and still expect to retain any credibility with Villa. Suspect those stories of us threatening to walk away were probably true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about legally binding, call it a gentleman's agreement. Agreed is the important word.. might just be the way I operate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 6 hours ago, MSvillain said: An interesting post on the West Ham forum states the below and 2 of their itks have agreed its what they have heard: "Don't think Villa are overly worried yet......but the rumour at the Villa end is that Villa have got frustrated with West Ham, rather than the other way round. They (apparently) initially agreed a fee with West Ham and allowed them to agree terms with Duran - since then West Ham have tried to re-negotiate the deal and it's structure in 3 different ways, including reduction of the previously agreed fee, payment terms etc.... Villa are holding firm to the originally agreed fee and basically told West Ham to come back when they're serious, the suspicion being that West Ham and Duran's agent are in cahoots to encourage Duran to piss about to force a deal. Villa for their part have told Duran, that if West Ham don't pony up, he can start looking at apartments in Riyadh or face sitting on his arse next season...." https://www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=187955&start=22820 No way Villa have said this. They are too smart to do something that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 10 hours ago, Philosopher said: I'm not against keeping Duran his talent and desire I rate. I keep hearing his attitude is a problem, but he's 100% on pitch, pressing, working hard and giving his all. So I don't think his attitude is as bad as made out. He just want to play football, and believes he is good enough. He isn't getting the playing time he wants, so he wants to go somewhere he will. The way he has gone about it is immature, but then he's only 20 what do we really expect!? If he stays he can contribute, if he leaves we can bring a player in that will also contribute. I'm very neutral on this. What do I expect? I expect a young player, with talent like he has, to listen to a top class manager and work with him, in terms of game time…..and show patience and respect. We also have to consider Ollie, in all this, and if John Duran used his loaf, he could learn from Ollie…..if he wants Ollie’s place, when he gets his chance, he should make himself undroppable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 The biggest error we have made was rejecting west hams bid. I think the 30m with adds on that young player was a good offer. Now we are stuck with a unhappy duran and cant sign another until he goes because we will have four strikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 People will disagree with me but his peak value is now. We are very unlikely to extend his contract so in 6 months time we have a problem player with about 24 months remaining on their deal that people know we want to sell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 If he stays he needs to build bridges with fans by commiting his future to club and signing a new deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Unai mentions him in the post match conference.. I think that he has been spoken to and could potentially knuckle down if he is told that there is no move for him.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted August 1 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1 Even if west ham or anyone comes in with a late bid matching our valuation we should reject it unless we have a replacement to sign who's adequate. We can't let the dodgy goings on disrupt the most important season we have in years. Starting with Archer as back up would be disastrous for us, it's not worth the risk. Duran will stay, get his head down and play for us with plenty to prove and I'm confident he has ability to make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I hope he stays and I think we need him. A couple of good goals, and it will all be forgotten, we fans are simple that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
