sheepyvillian Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 48 minutes ago, wishywashy said: Nice surprise. Seems he's really settled in and got his head down this season. Pretty clear the sky's the limit with this kid, and we've got him tied down to a 6 year contract. How many 20-ish year old strikers are there getting good gametime at the elite level? I think Ferguson and Højlund might genuinely be the only other strikers around that age bracket in the Prem right now. Cole Palmer said "Hello"!!

Probably the best player in world football, not to make the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the performances that have got him that contract and rightly so! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could pick a favourite noise, that sound even before the ball hits the back of the net against Everton has to be well up there. Such a an amazing goal in many ways.

That may be so, but I doubt very much it would have been the same contract without the recent performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) The good thing is that his agent now propbably has gotten a decent fee. So he will be patient for at least a year.... But I actually believe that Duran will go to Real Madrid in a couple of years. At the expense of Haaland. Edited 1 hour ago by DeepDish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
