Pizy 19,277 Posted June 11, 2024 Share Posted June 11, 2024 I just want to hear what the club leaks/briefs to the reporters about Duran. What their justification is for potentially spending such a ridiculous amount of money an an unproven backup striker from Aston Villa. Like who’s driving the signing and what they think his potential is etc. The fact that we wanted him back in January too must mean that someone in particular in our scouting department has to see some massive potential or something.

Vesper 31,089 Posted June 11, 2024 Share Posted June 11, 2024 if this happens and for that price, this is a make or break transfer for Bo-Clownlake if Duran turns out to be shit, then that is IT they clearly need to sell as theyb have no fucking clue, at that point, how to run a football club in terms of transfers bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people driving recruitment are the co-sporting directors, have been since January last season. The two of them need to go ASAP. This club isn’t Brighton or Monaco - they are out of their depth. The justification is going to be that he's under 23 and data they have on him will look good. Thats been the prerogative since they came in.

Thor 2,819 Posted June 11, 2024 Share Posted June 11, 2024 I actually think Duran looks really good - but it’s a lot for a striker that hasn’t proved much. We got Cole for 40 mil and people were crying on here. So who knows. There is a good player in Duran though. The whole “he can’t play for Villa” thing is overblown. Villa were in a if it ain’t broke don’t fix it mode and they have their best striker they’ve had in god knows how long. Duran could be a big thing. He’s rapid, has great shot power, presses well, and has a bit of asshole about him. mkh and Stats 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is the only striker we sign then the club deserve every bit of shit the fans direct their way. If he is one of 2 strikers we buy and the other one is the primary starter then okay. If he is being thought of as someone who will compete with Jackson and those two are the only ones on the books then we’re fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,277 Posted June 11, 2024 Share Posted June 11, 2024 Also, if Olise does choose United over us are we still after another winger? Or was it just that we really, really want Olise specifically? If the club are willing to pay £60m+ for Olise then there are surely other fantastic wide attackers we could get as alternatives with that money.

We're gonna get that bang average Championship youngster Summerville or what is his name called. Time to pack it up honestly, we're done as a top club.

Imagine if our entire business this summer window is appointing a manager from the Championship, signing a winger from the Championship, signing Aston Villa’s backup striker, and signing a CB (who I do really like) on a free. Fucking YIKES! lmao All on top of selling fan favorite Chelsea youth products Chalobah & Gallagher. This ownership better pray to God that all those moves turn out to be strokes of genius because if we have another poor season the toxicity will be insane.

We wouldn’t be signing a young CF if the objective is to go out and recruit a more established striker afterwards. Why would we? I mean we already have Jackson and Duran would be the second young CF in our squad. They have to play to develop so it wouldn’t make sense. Clearlake and the co-sporting directors apparently want to become more efficient in the market and sign players below a certain age so you can forget the likes of Toney, Oshimen etc who are going to cost big fees. Sesko is going to resign at Leipzig too. Maybe our hands are forced a bit with Broja potentially going to Everton but the Duran deal is a bad one, everyone can see that. I’m assuming more efficient in the market means that Tosin and Duran (potentially) will be brought in to replace Silva and Broja (potentially).

Just a risk at that price. 25 to 30 seems fair. Hopefully we get something in the range for Broja so almost a straight swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
