Good news. Im still not getting too attached as I reckon there will probably be a release clause in the contract that benefits the club & the player (& agent). I have no knowledge of that though, it's just my own personal thoughts.

He certainly seems more settled though, & having several players around the squad his own age will be helping, as well as probably being told that he will be getting more minutes all season while we batted away that little porno dickhead with the shit Russian hat & his derisory bids during the summer.

He seems to have adopted Baileys attitude from last season when he was coming from the bench, playing well, scoring goals, developing with an arm around his shoulder from Emery.

I am over the moon that we told West Ham to f**k off. The way they do business is typical of that little cretin who owns them & from what it sounds like from Emery, we never had any interest in selling Duran to them, or anyone else during the summer. Not unless they came with stupid money bids & nobody did. So it feels nice to just leave Sullivan in the media mess that he made for himself as they ended up with 32 year old statue Fulkrug & Duran was banging them in from all angles.

I said at the time that I wouldn't want to accept double what West Ham were allegedly offering & I stand by that today. Easier to do now in hindsight, but I would own it if it were the other  way round too.

Bet this has lots of clauses lol

Yep, here are just a few…

60% weekly uplift for scoring an overhead kick from the halfway line 

10% bonus for every 10 minute period he goes without being booked

-70% deduction for killing an opposition player with his bare hands during normal time

So he just wanted a more money basically Fine, deserved.

What I'm thinking.

We most likely would have signed him on a very moderate contract.

Coming from his background, you know his utmost ambition will likely be the wealth to take care of his whole family probably.

Saw opportunities to make more money as " First Choice " either at a lesser club or even as rotation at an " A List " club.

However got his head down and earned it here, he's seemed much happier recently too.

Fair play.

Absolutely, as a teenager from the MLS you'd have to say he was on 30k/40k max, which was fair at the time. No doubt the London clubs were talking about doubling that at least. He'd have thought, I'm not starter at villa, I might as well fight for a starting position somewhere else on more money.

I'm still worried West Ham might come back in for him in the summer with a 20m bid.

 

Be fair they might throw in a youth team player as well. 
 

they must be kicking themselves for not pushing that deal through when we probably would have let him go for the right price. Glad to see his form and attitude getting rewarded and his value push past £100 million

Just a thought 🤔 imagine if we did sell him to west Ham where we'd be right now ......  maybe sitting on 8pts in the prem (mid table) may have gone out against Wycombe & 1 win 1 draw maybe in the Champions league. Could well be a very different atmosphere on Villatalk currently.

the money would've been used to replace him so it's impossible to know
