I Also believe he’s a lot better than his stint at Sheffield Untied suggests. Add to that a bit of Emery coaching and we might see him start to shine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Archer sticking around doesn’t make sense to me, he’s definitely a downgrade on Duran so we would be weaker there. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t sold and someone better brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather get good money for him tbh. I don’t think it’s unusual as he’s local and sees himself living in the area during and after his career. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him staying quite a drastic turn around from fans wanting him to start over Watkins to writing him off completely and wanting him to move on. I think it’s somewhere in between he’ll move eventually but may prove to be a valuable backup this season. Edited July 25 by gwi1890 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season Duran was the ironically downgrade on Archer according to our fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a top 4 team now just reverting back to Archer who wasn’t good enough for us a year ago doesn’t seem like a progressive move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure a young lad on the money he is on could and probably would have multiple permanent properties he has or will buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sell Duran and replace him, AND keep Archer then I think we’re stronger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 1 minute ago, The_Steve said: I still think he’s off the moment a good bid comes in. Yes. If the bottom-half Prem teams aren’t looking to snap him up then he’s obviously not good enough to lead the line for a top 4 team (if Ollie’s injured). A shame it never worked for him here but he’s still got a decent future in professional football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
