An upgrade over Broja, based on what exactly? Duran has been at Villa for a year and has fuck all to show for it. 

He's absolutely no more proven or better than Broja, just another inexperienced raw youngster in a long line of many. 

Exactly. Nail on head.

I bet hardly anyone on here saying he would be a good move has even seen him play yet he’s automatically “better than Broja”.

The same Broja who not too long ago, was better than every CF we had 2 seasons ago whilst on loan at Southampton. 

The level of idiocy on here sometimes blows my mind.

Would rather try and get Guirassy than go for Wilson or Jhon Duran

[Special Juan 27,428]

Pointless gap fillers that are just going to be left rotting come the summer when we get Osimhen or whoever.

So we get Duran or Wilson and already have Jackson, make it make fucking sense.

Guirassy for sure. He at least could be really good. Wilson would be guaranteed average and Durán is random gamble

All of these options will go for a hefty fee too. Close to the 103 million Osimhen will cost. 
 

Not really Jonathan David has one year left in his contract in June 2025. Kirkzee will go for around €60-€65m. Sesko price will be around €43m. And we know how difficult Napoli is to negotiate with and our board doesn’t like just paying the fee they’ll try and haggle.

What's with the Sesko love, he is not exactly tearing it up in Bundesliga? 

[DDA 9,690]

Sesko has done fuck all in a farmers league and this Jhon Duran fella has done fuck all in the Prem. 

What are these targets! 

[Fernando 6,458]

Lautaro Martínez or Victor Osimhen for me. 

[Special Juan 27,428]

Duran is now injured, confirmed by Romano, this means we will defo go for him

So what? Sign no one when the club sells Broja?

He's been playing well from what I have seen. But nowhere near the goal output to come in here.

I actually don’t want Sesko either to be honest was just giving prices. My ideal striker for us is someone like Lois Openda , Jonathan David, Victor Boniface(injured until April it seems), Joshua Kirkzee. Highly technical strong and good finishers.
