KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Archer and Duran are fundamentally different types of player: we can be sure that Archer is more of a goalscorer, judging from his time at PNE and Boro. Duran seems to be a bruiser who can hold up play and bring people in (although we've only seen him in fits and starts). Can see both of them being in our matchday squads next season.

We can expect more than what Duran has shown so far especially for that amount of money. Yeah, let's compare him to a 1 in a billion world class freak. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably equally valid though. Very very very few 19 year old will show the same level of maturity at Bellingham. You're still comparing a single massive outlier with what Duran is.

I'm not expecting him to be as mature as Bellingham but I don't think it's unreasonable to be a little disappointed by Duran so far, he's like a headless chicken.

Feel this is reasonable but for the minuscule amount minutes on the pitch and culture shock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I watched the incident with Shaw back and noticed that he was actually trying to rile Shaw without going ott and when shaw chested him back he went straight to the Ref and complained. He then ‘accidentally’ tripped shaw and shaw was getting more and more agitated. That shows ‘cleverness’ in my books or whatever it is they call it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted May 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2023 He is a rough diamond, he needs lots of work and polishing. I suspect he will be a monster to play against when fully up to speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it clever, we're a goal down in the last few minutes and he slowed the game costing us about a minute or two of injury time. Frustrating and unfortunately expected.

For me its not judging i just think archer would add something to the squad with all these injuries. I think it was a mistake sending archer out and not duran. I think archer is ready for 20-30 mins personally. Duran i think would benefit a loan in championship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I'd like to see him get a bit more time, maybe even a start, just to mix things up a bit tactically because it seems teams are starting to learn how to set up against us a bit better.
