Demitri_C Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 You could see the inexperience today. Got wound up very easily and they git to his head today. I think a loan would bw good for him next season. I think archer should be ahead of him next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 He doesn’t seem ready. Lots of talent but really immature. Somewhat strange January signing when we needed someone who could do a job right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 He looked decent we saw glimpses of his hold play at one point the ball was played into him he backed into the Utd defender and they couldn’t get near him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 The kid can shift I know that much. Does that thing Wesley used to do , drops in, plays it wide, and then attacks the box...but unlike Wesley he used his strength and power and motors. Not jogs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can expect more than what Duran has shown so far especially for that amount of money. **** I'm talking about his level of maturity. Not technical ability.

VillaChris Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Loan looks a pretty solid bet I'd say. He has something but needs a run of 15-20 starts in decent european league to kick on and then he should be ready to be serious player in our squad. Being regular in Colombia squad should help aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I’m not worried about his mentality - a lot of that refereeing performance today would wind me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted April 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2023 He needs game time and he ain't gonna get it unless Ollie is injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying we can expect more maturity from a 19 year old. In no way am I comparing their current footballing ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 But yeah, loan Duran out next season. We need somebody more ready to back up/compete with Ollie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post I was responding to was questioning his maturity and what we can expect. I was merely giving an example of another 19 year old who is at the opposite end of the 'maturity spectrum'.

MWARLEY2 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I have found it wierd that he hasnt played any u21 games. Unless it is because we literally have no back up for Ollie whatsover and they cannot risk him getting injured. The kid needs game time . Get his confidence up . Feels like how we treated Davis a bit. Just 10 mins here 20 mins there . Not saying we are doing anything wrong , but if he is a project then that project needs to be developed.

Jude has played top flight football for more than 2 years now & is a regular in the England team & is worth in the region of £150 million, we have Duran who has come from the States as a prospect & cost £18 million, in my eyes you can't compare the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
