Wise Old Man 38 Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 Officially high on Duran. Future elite striker , a must buy. Can we not chuck Chalobah Broja and some spare change their way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t flavor of the month back then I suppose. Didn’t have enough goals on his resume.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 Felix for 50m euros is probably alright for a player of his quality. The problem remains that we are stacked in AM. One big plus is that creative players like him will be more important in unlocking deep buses than speedsters like Noni/mud/sterling… Now we have 4 attackers who can create a goal out of nothing : Neto, nkunku, palmer, Felix. last season we basically were offensively done whenever palmer was out. Still 7 players + possibly Carney/Kellyman/some Academy graduates on the fringes is way too much for 3 or max 4 positions (given palmer and nkunku can play false 9) Mhsc and mkh 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,941 Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 Always liked the look of Duran but hey, of course he looks good at Villa. Thats a club that is being managed properly. It has the right conditions set up for young players to thrive. Ours is a chaotic mess, buy whoever whenever whatever the moment dictates.

Pizy 18,918 Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 It’s looking very likely to me now that no new striker will be bought. Osimhen to PSG, Omorodion is a no-go thankfully, Duran did the “I stay” gesture during his goal celebration today and there’s surely no way they sell him this late in the window. Toney is Brentford’s best player and they wouldn’t sell him this late or they’d be a relegation candidate. I probably wouldn’t have him anyways. Does’t really leave much out there in an already sparse center forward market. I say play the patient game. Trust that Nico will take a step up, that Guiu will develop well, and that the combo of Nkunku, Palmer, Felix, and Neto can contribute plenty of goals. I actually think these are pretty realistic bets. Then have a look in January at how the strike market shales up if we need to. Do NOT panic buy some random dude near the deadline in 2 weeks, please!

mkh 594 Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 The final fee for João Félix won't be €60m, €65m, €70m as reported in Spain. The expectation is to be lower, probably something around €40m, maximum €45m, but I think it's going to be around €40m plus add-ons. This could be the structure of the deal. @FabrizioRomano Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there’s Osimhen off the table for us, surely. Yeah, let PSG buy him. Win, win for everyone. VO gets his mega money, Napoli have space for Lukaku, PSG get a CF that will score in the French league and turn up when it doesn't matter in the CL and we will avoid getting an overpaid CF who has massive questions over the technical side of his game. Jackpot imo. 7 minutes ago, mkh said: The final fee for João Félix won't be €60m, €65m, €70m as reported in Spain.

This could be the structure of the deal. @FabrizioRomano €40-€45m is fine for Felix if his wages are sub-£100k. For me, he will be fine as a squad rotation player who may kick on a level still. In addition, it means an upgrade to Sterling/Mudryk. So it isn't a complete head scratcher like some of pur transfers. mkh and Costa19 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes - he scores and the hype begins. The same people saying he was shit will be begging the club to buy him in 2 seasons.
