He seems to thrive when he is the main man Well, hopefully, it should drive him to keep his place. This is the whole point of competition for places. Duran is pushing the way Ollie keeps playing is doing what he usually does. We're a team, not one man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goals to minutes ratio is really good in the league over last 12 months so eventually that needs to translate into starts when the time is right.

MWARLEY2 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Every game he plays he is becoming less of a maverick and more of an all round striker. His header at the weekend. Their defender puts him off balance a second before he leaps. But his athleticism is so great he could still get to it in the air and direct it expertly. Duran has a spring like a salmon. Makes JPAs leap look really low! It's great that he is becoming more predictable. Becuase that makes the build up play more effective. Will score far more goals that way rather than hitting the ball on the volley unexpectedly or hitting it early . Last 2 goals have been goals Ollie would have been proud of . Close to goal. Deadly finishing with a bit of finesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBA to write it all out along the lines of he looks good, he looks fine, Jhon Duran Aston Villa’s number 9, then lovely du du du’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only really become a problem if we're not winning games because at the end of the the day, that's when him not scoring will be considered a problem.

LxYoungAVFC Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Need some good man management from Unai to convince JD that he's better off coming on at 60 mins than starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pay rise and new contract might help with that. I suspect he may have been humbled by the summer if Chelsea pulled out of a deal due to a questionable attitude.

I got it all apart from the bit leading into the chrous... everything apart from whatever we've replaced "there she was, just a walking down the street" with. Sounds like a lot of the fans don't know either as it goes suspiciously quiet around the time that line is sung. Anyone able to help correct the bit on square brackets? [There she was, just a walking down the street] Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do.

villarule123 Posted September 2 VT Supporter Share Posted September 2 I've slagged him off but laughably, he's probably the best number 9 since who, Angel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted September 2 VT Supporter Share Posted September 2 This has been a win win in my view, he irritated the crap out of me but we are lucky that he is in our squad.... I just hope in the time to come he realises how lucky he is that he didn't get the move he so desperately wanted.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I don’t think many people expected that he will be forgiven so soon. Already won us 6 points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I may be going soft in my old age but I'm not bothered about his antics thus far, I only care about the present / future. Also the kind of stuff I did / said at 20 doesn't bear thinking about. We need to keep this kid, and keep him focused on his game. His potential is enormous.

Definitely best not to get too upset about it. The online stuff I find funny, as in, I'm laughing at Duran acting like the child he is. Removing Villa pictures from an account? Come on. It's like he's 14. This is pretty funny. It's probably not quite the reality of the situation, but even the idea Duran is trying to 'behave' or whatever around people like McGinn is good. McGinn is exactly the sort of person at the club that should be coming down of Duran like a ton of bricks if he's being a dickhead. Let Emery and coaches guide him, help him, support him. Let teammates his age and squad profile muck about and be mates with him. John McGinn? Emi Martinez? Lucas Digne? Demand effort in training. Demand following the plan on the pitch. Force him to become the player he should. Even now, the chasm between the careers he could have is incredible. He could either be a multiple time major title winner, or play less than 250 matches at a decent level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 He's an unbelievable finisher. Not saying he's at this level, but could we use him in a similar way to how City use Haaland? Just feed him balls to run onto and finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
