It's early days, but I'm still pleased we stayed clear of him. Interest in Duran will continue to ramp up at this rate, though.

Vesper 31,037 Posted October 2, 2024 Share Posted October 2, 2024 atm Jhon Duran is looking like a young Drogba the way he sees the game the runs he makes, the way he uses CBs the superb shot accuracy (which is Nico's huge weakness) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,250 Posted October 2, 2024 Share Posted October 2, 2024 Said a few weeks ago when he scored that screamer that Villa will probably be more likely to cash in on Ollie Watkins than they will be Duran at this rate and he is only solidifying that idea as the season goes on. They’ll want to build their team around this kid in the future and would demand an insane fee from anyone coming in for him now. We thought the £40m they were asking this past summer was high but it seems like that could be a bargain now. Once he has more PL & now UCL goals to his name they may demand £80m+ for him. Unless one, they’re in trouble with PSR again or two, Duran himself sees a better shot at starting every match at another big club. Could see Arse for example or even Liverpool going for him. After we got so close and then walked away I’m not sure he would look kindly on us trying again. Vesper and Fernando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
