AndyM3000 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 It's a big year for both our forwards then. Duran convinced to stay, can he do enough to become the main man? Whatever happens, you'd have to assume one of them will be leaving next summer. Neither of them are going to play second fiddle and its hard to rotate the minutes. Watkins will be heading towards 30 while Duran's potential is huge. I look forward to FFP and PSR having the final say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colombia haven't lost for two years in competitive match I think. Sadly, we lost the Copa America final against Argentina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul514 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) Story in the Mirror about how we turned down 40m for Duran and why https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-news-duran-33630165 Quote The claim has been made by Aston Villa ’s two recruitment chiefs who said they rebuffed FORTY offers for the 20-year-old this summer. As last season wore on, the Colombian international became increasingly frustrated by a lack of opportunity. Ollie Watkins ’s sparkling form ensured the powerful forward would be left kicking his heels on Villa’s bench. But Emery has no intention of allowing the youngster, who he bought for £15m from Chicago Fire in January last year to leave. Instead he wants to nurture and grow his talent.

I doubt it. maybe we will get 40 million offers again, maybe we will get even better. This may have been his peak value though. How many players have been sold for 100 million ............... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I hope Emery can find a way of getting both Duran and Watkins in the same team. Playing with two strikers and two 10s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Managed a lil bit of chaos even when he was being subbed. Ref tried to usher him off cos he was taking his time as Colombia were leading. Ref deigned to push him gently from the back, John pushed his arm off him leading to a yellow card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) Ah no. It was Emi Martinez. Proper shoved him down. Not particularly dirty, a classic South American fixture challenge. Emi didn't blink, just got up and bowled the ball out. Edited September 11 by Tomaszk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 If he continues this form, next summer we might look at selling Watkins ratyer than Duran. His stock will keep decreasing and getting older. But again all would depend about what he does, and what challenges we’ll have. Also who we’ll get as a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
