I guess I will need to pay attention to Columbia in Copa now.

We've already got a brilliant Colombian striker at the club. 🙁

Kvara would be incredible but De Laurentiis would probably quote us £100m for him.

So what. We have bought mudryk, fofana, Caicedo, Enzo for close to that figure. Why not spend 100m on a player that would actually improve us. All the money these braindead owners spent could have got us the best squad in the world not a ‘project’ which apparently is the shortened American English form of  ‘we have no idea what we’re doing’. 

imagine you had 200k to buy two or more nice reliable, comfortable cars, say one for fun, one to meet clients. You might buy a Porsche 911 and an merc s class or  maybe you prefer a z4 and an a8 whatever. Clownlake would manage to splash 200k on a fiat multipla with a broken gear shift, a non street licensed hummer after 5 crashes and an illegaly imported post-sanctions  Lada (you know cos they like its data) and tell you these pieces of trash have superb potential, will last longer and are cheaper to maintain than established brands.

The mere persistent determination to get as little value as possible for the most obscene amounts of money spendable would make you think Clownlake just have a rather exotic financial domination fetish or are simply sworn to destroy this club. But what is more probable is that due to their success in yank sports they really have the hubris to think that they are some sports biz geniuses who are following a great contrarian strategy that will make them look like absolute masterminds in a few years. Spoiler alert: they are just stupid and will look like even greater fools then.  But this club will suffer from the debt and all these average players they have dumped upon us for decades.

I don’t think there is many 100 mil players out there I trust to be actually worth that much. No out and out surefire things imo.

Sometime the best move is not doing anything, why not bring back David Fofana as backup and save yourself 40m and go out get better striker than Duran next summer.

What sets Duran apart from Fofana btw?

Been doing this since 2022 - sign backups or cheap strikers. 

Its time to go for a top striker even in a thin market. 

[Strike 7,217]

 

How reliable is Guillo Arango? He's the one peddling the £42 million figure. He says it is "close to"

 

[Strike 7,217]

In January, Matt Law quoted a deal at £18million. Can't imagine has value has more than doubled

[milka 3,344]

50 millions for a reserve from Villa who will lead the attack together with Michael Jackson who is not even a striker at the head of which will be a championship manager what a clowns  this club is finished .

[Special Juan 27,421]

The sporting directors and people at the top have simply lost the plot. 

Jackson isn't the man, Duran isn't and won't be the man and another season where we have not addressed the massive gaping hole that has been clear for fucking ages. I honestly am speechless

[TheHulk 1,855]

They love spending money but a good chunk of it goes on complete garbage. There is no way they can be such imbeciles, they must be doing it on purpose otherwise I don't understand.

[Thor 2,392]

If Duran is a Shields pick, all for it. 

 

I saw the dross posted here when Cole got signed lol. 

[nyikolajevics 2,573]

I have only seen Duran a couple of times, seems talented. 8 goals in ~1100 minutes are not bad either for a 20 years old.

 

But.. AV signed him for 15 million last year and he was substitute for Watkins. How did we end up offering 40-50 million for him? How his value got three times as much?

The value has not been quoted by anyone reliable yet.

Can people throwing insults around about Duran signing can at least wait till it's confirmed? Why so many people here are believe every rumor that is posted around? 

[Mário César 973]

 

[Special Juan 27,421]

Negotiations are on going for Duran, Duran wants the move and terms of contract are already been discussed.

It's happening this

The rumour is true. No doubt. We were interested in January too
