All it is really is a very expensive youth prospect deal. He'll almost certainly be out on loan next season. All the same Emery said that it was presented to him durning the January window.

Popular Post Demitri_C Posted May 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) A waste sub did virtually nothing Biggest mistake us not loaning him out and not keeping archer here in my opinion. He would ahve had enough game time with all the injuries we had Edited May 6, 2023 by Demitri_C 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would ahve had enough game time with all the injuries we had Though had Ramsey passed back to him, he could've made an immediate impact. Fine margins and the kid is still very young. He has something, just very raw. Not his fault we sold Ings and he's the only option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Nowhere near ready for premier league football. Loan him out next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer for me looks a much better option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did one very nice bit of play, found JJ, got into a dangerous area for the return - JJ didn't see the pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PieFacE Posted May 6, 2023 Author VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2023 I actually think he's looked really bright the last few times I've seen him come on. What are people really expecting him to do in 10 minutes? I'd like to see him get more game time. Something about him imo. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I think i explained that. Archer for me has more to his game at the momet. He has more experience in english football and abit older. Think its too soon for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I'd be really interested in seeing what he could do with a start to be honest. Not that I'm saying he should have had one already given what's been at stake + the form of Watkins, but he's had some incredibly bright moments condensed into minimal game time.

Wurzel Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Quite confused by this signing really, not sure why when we have Archer virtually there we needed to buy another prospect. Is he an Emery signing? Not sure he is. Hopefully he will come on leaps and bounds, but a loan out next season is surely the best option for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 It was a strange one and came out of the blue, I like what I have seen of him when coming on as a sub at VP but can't help but thnk it was a club signing rather than Emery. Maybe we should just start him up top alongside Ollie one time and see how he gets on, i reckon he would surprise us. He was quite unlucky against Wet Spam and think he can cause problems, but it did seem a left field signing and i'm sure most of us could probably have suggested players under £19 million which would have had as equal, if not more, impact.

I'm sure that it probably was the case that they didn't think they could sign him without at least running it past the manager, but I also think that Emery was shrewd enough to see that he'd be better off not creating a fuss having only just joined.

Get Archer back in his place AND sign a more proven final third player. Duran will be playing regularly for Colombia in next 12 months so should be plenty of interest in him but it's clear it's a big ask to expect him to impact on prem games coming on for 15-20 minute cameos at this stage of his career.

I think Don Unai has enough standing in the game to be able to say no to signing Duran at the time. He saw something he liked and agreed to it. I like Duran he’s shown good touches and movement and has been unfortunate not to have scored already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a massive overhaul of our strikers. Bailey and Duran need to be put out to boot camp and Watkins must not have an expensive new contract. His attitude is much better than the other two, but he's not consistent enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth do we know about Duran's attitude?!? The kid has barely kicked a ball for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
