Interesting. 
 

 

So £25million for striker Jhon Duran AND we sell them who? Loan them?
Butch Casadei or the Santos kid? Ugo?

Or is it a swap deal?  blue.Co[ke] seem very keen on swap deals - but they seldom happen

Duran definitely has potential. If we play 3 attackers behind a 9 then you’d think a fair percentage of goals would come from Nkunku, Palmer and possibly Olise. Jackson or Duran would be expected to score of course but having those three behind should take some of the pressure off them.

That is a bit harsh. Let’s play devil’s advocate for a min; and assume Jackson was our designated penalty taker. Palmer scored 22 goals last season, 9 of which were pens. Assuming Jackson scored 6 of those;  he is a 20 goal a season forward, and Palmer on 12 goals has had a “very good” debut season not a brilliant one. That little detail changes the narrative around both players.

Jackson would probably have missed all 9 pens. Too busy asking some tart for titty pictures, or changing his hair for the upteenth time, to actually practice shooting,

Cant stand him.

I hadn't noticed . Doesn't he get at least one point for dyeing his hair blue?

I just used him as an example in this post.

imo, you guys are way too harsh on the kid.

I wasnt commenting on Jackson at all, I was commenting on the daft picking apart of Palmers season.

I do hide it well....and prefer not to talk about it 😄 

and no.... no points. Wrong shade of blue.

Ian Maatsen is a player Villa are interested in.

Talk is could be a straight swap or two separate deals.

We have been given permission by Villa to talk to Duran, who Villa apparently did not want to sell as he is viewed to have "sky high" potential. 

This despite Emery saying he needs to grow up and him being a bit of nut job having trashed several houses this past year and doing over 120,000 pounds damage to them.

Data don't take that in to account.

Hopefully Cobham survives this signing.

If Maatsen is involved they should be owing us money.

Diego Costa replacement?

They should however we nailed our maatsen price to the mast with his 35mill clause and Villa want 40 to 45mill for Duran so likely is Maatsen plus 5 to 10 mill.

Praying the owners have learned now to not pay over the odds. 

Unlike us, Villa HAVE PSR issues and need to sell this month, so we should be negotiating far less than what they are asking. 

Sorry but this is just my uncle with dyslexia. You’ve all been conned.

Agreed, Maatsen is also experienced in the CL, his price should have increased. 

I'm with straight swap or they give us money on top. Our owners need to play hard ball.

f**k straight swap. Duran + Cash for Maatsen. They are getting a Champions League finalist and Bundesliga rookie of the year FFS.

Probably a big discount due to Maatsen's height and the fact he'd be joining a Premier League club.

How in the f**k do you justify paying 50m for player with an incorrectly spelled first name and only 5 PL goals till now?!!

Agreed. While we can't blame him for his parents' mistake he has the legal right at his age to change his name to the correct spelling by deed poll. 

Hearing this is potentially off.  I tip my hat to ownership/the directors if true. In no world should we be overpaying for Duran. He's a £20m striker, tops. I reckon Villa were sticking firm with their £40m valuation and had the gull to ask us to include Maatsen + cash for Duran. 😂

Get f**ked Villa. Glad we are finally in a position where we can just walk away in both incomings and outgoings. 

Our owners blue.co[ke] are always keen on the "swapsy deals". These deals are historically non-entities in the EPL. Swaps don't happen often, clubs tend to prefer cash.  But i wonder if our american cousins are here to show us how to do it?  I wonder what the financial loop hole is in the "swapsy deal" as I am sure there is one.  There must be one right?  As much as I am not a fan of our new owners they are creepy vulture capitalists and they do make money in their ventures.

Maatsen is worth greater than Duran. Duran is a £20-25m player. Maatsen is worth £30-35m - something like that. That blue.co[ke] would give Maatsen and cash for Duran is ridiculous.

It should be Duran + £10m for Maatsen. 

Villa can do one.
