VillaChris Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 23 minutes ago, Zatman said: I dont think he wants out except maybe he is annoyed at how the online fanbase have mainly swung against him from the get go. If Archer wasnt the other striker this wouldnt have happened People finding the smallest thing to get offended about by Duran Why would he be reading online stuff on here? More likely to be reading stuff by the Colombian fans like that journo who was quoted on the other page. I think the problem for Duran is this. He had a decent start to the season scoring two prem goals and also in europa. He probably thought he'd done enough to start Chelsea away given Ollie hadn't scored at that point.Ollie hit the winner on that day and then followed it up with hat trick v Brighton so I think reality has dawned on Duran that he's not going to be a regular CF anytime soon and that's possibly impacted on his mood. It's a tricky one. We seem to be applying the same method as with Davis, keep him around for years with the odd sub cameo while player is desperate for regular minutes out on loan and then belatedly we do it. It's not like he has more chance of starting games from this point unless Ollie gets a long term injury given the increasing stakes in league and cup from this point, I very much doubt he'll start at Chelsea in the cup which would actually be a really good test for him.

He is 20 years old. He has grown up on social media and probably sees all the post having a pop at him As said have never seen a Villa youngster get this much harsh treatment before and its a disgrace. He was a teenager until last month 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying " It's been 25 years since we last saw each other " etc along those lines. Nothing ground breakingly ITK whatsoever . I'll try to find the post. Edit: Found @DaveAV1 Come to think of it...

He's played in nearly every game this season, except the ones he's not been fully fit for due to a toe infection. He'd have started 2 more games and come on as a sub in 2 others. He's coming on at closer to 60 minutes than 80 minutes now. We have another cup to play him in now, and as we get to the business stages of ECL he'll inevitably get league starts as we have to rotate ollie.

Nicho Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 How much can we realistically get for him? We’d want £30 mil based on potential I assume, don’t think anyone is paying that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 The signing didn't really make sense last year and still doesn't really IMO. He needs to be playing more but he is clearly at the moment not as good as Watkins and we only play one up front. A season-long loan at a decent championship club would test his development. I wouldn't read too much into JPA. Yes they both from the same city in Columbia but not sure how much they have in common as Angel is probably old enough to be his dad.

Every single thread on this forum is ‘whatever Emery wants’, ‘in Emery trust’ and yet when it’s quite clearly obvious from quotes and reports that he isn’t a fan of Duran’s attitude, it’s ‘based on absolutely nothing’, and ‘there’s nothing going on with Duran’. Which one is it? Is it not absolutely 100% clear that the Duran thing isn’t working behind the scenes? Hence all the reports, the bids, the media reporting on him moving. Emery don’t like him. Therefore he can f*** off as far as I’m concerned. What makes you think Emery doesn't like him? The only comments I've read from Emery in relation to Duran is that he has a load of potential and Emery wants to help him fulfill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure if (hypothetically) he’s a dick he won’t be the first 20 year old PL striker already playing for his country to need a bit of maturing/managing so he can achieve his potential. And to your initial point, I absolutely trust Emery to do that (if he sees that potential) rather than just bin him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are bids there is movement somewhere in the chain. I think it’s fairly obvious if we sign perhaps Rogers or maybe another that we’d let Duran go for a reasonable fee.

It’d be a big shout for e.g. The Guardian to report today that West Ham had made an offer and we had knocked it back if they hadn’t actually done so. Especially given the journalist who wrote the piece is Jacob Steinberg who is as connected at West Ham as it gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
