Popular Post Adam2003 Posted May 14 Popular Post Share Posted May 14 3 hours ago, KevinRichardsonsMoustache said: McGinn said in his interview to Sky that Jhon's a bit of a nightmare and that the team will need to keep his feet on the ground after his goals against plop. Sounds like he's got a bit of an ego and that seems to go against the prevailing mood in the camp. Having said that, I'm sure if he can back up his ego with goals then happy days! Think people are reading far too much into those comments. They were clearly said with a smile and a lot of affection. I’m sure any 20-year-old who bangs in a game-saving brace off the bench vs Liverpool would need their feet keeping on the ground. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I wonder whether having that younger Colombian lad Montaño at the club might help Duran mature a bit if he is given some responsibility to help him settle in. He can be such a great striker if he just calms down a bit. Only a little bit mind you, as you don't want to get rid of that spirit and craziness completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually interpret his comments they ways in which both of you have. I get the feeling that Duran is well liked and supported but that he's also probably a bit brash and stubborn and cocky and annoying sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I think he's probably picked up a reputation now as someone who gets injured a lot and it's probably spooked his admirers to the point where his market value has decreased or even evaporated in the view of some of those top clubs.

Shaun Teales Moustache Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 22 hours ago, Enda said: Not to be an arse but it annoys me that every single “He reminds me of …” comparisons are to other black players. His football style can be compared to anyone but it’s always lads with the same skin colour. Same is true for white players always being compared to Kane, Robbie Keane, Soksjaer instead of Andy Cole. So for balance, Jhon reminds me of Ally McCoist He's nothing like McCoist Christian Vieri is more akin. Worth noting that he was playing in Serie B at Duran's age. France's all time top goalscorer Olivier Giroud is another guy with similar attributes. He was playing in Ligue 2 at Duran's age. Regardless of any of that stuff, I still think the ideal player he'd turn out to be like would be Drogba, who was also struggling in Ligue 2 at Duran's age. He's exactly what we needed as a sub to bring on late in games this season, when Ollie was an Iron man. 8 goals and 5 GCA in less than 12 games worth of minutes is incredible production, when only getting minutes here and there. And he won another penalty that was missed. He's brought on to make something happen and he invariably does. He's been at his best along side Ollie because he's not good enough at leading the line, holding the ball up and linking play yet, so he still looks a bit off being able to start a bunch of crucial games yet. But considering his potential and the amount that Emery has improved every player I wouldn't sell him for anything less than united paid for Hojlund.

Mark Albrighton Posted May 15 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15 So Jhon won Villa’s goal of the season then, which seems fair enough. What were the other contenders? Don’t think I saw a list. I remember loving Cash’s second goal against Burnley, the team build up leading to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I am going to go the racist route lol and suggest Duvan Zapata. Fellow Columbian, great leap on him and happy to smash the ball in as hard as possible. Awkward customer as well. When Jhon gets more and more games and learns where to position himself in the box then he will be a huge threat from corners. Got the leap of a basketball player.
