I actually think Duran is a decent player, which makes me wonder why Villa would let him go.

 

He also offers much greater options in terms of puns and dad jokes.

Heard if you say his name twice in a mirror at midnight Simon Le Bon jumps out with a view to a kill.

He needs to score a brace every game

A twist. Aston Villa will move for Roma's Tammy Abraham, 26, if Colombia striker Jhon Duran, 20 leaves the club for Chelsea. 

Haha, the counter-briefing equivalent of a middle finger to the club. They already got Maatsen, Barkley and Winston Bogarde's nephew, what more do they want from us?

Should have just ditched the Osimhen deal when we couldn't get a deal yesterday afternoon and just got all in for Duran

Definitely should have done for him, he'd offer so much more than Jackson in our team.

I reckon he is still 2 seasons away from being a starter for a top team, he is surely talented though. He has been good coming off the bench against tired legs, when the game isn’t well structured. I am not convinced he will be the same player starting games.

Certainly looks a talent. That strike yesterday is as good as anything you'll see this season.

No chance he starts ahead of Watkins though who is basically a complete striker.

FFP - Duran is saleable, he wants to play more and is a clear #2 to Ollie Watkins.

It got disallowed in the end for a handball about 20 seconds before it by another player (stupid rule) but are we all in agreement that Jackson fires this ball into row Z?

Jim is anyway.

How much are we bidding in January?

£70 million?

We should already be preparing for our Gyorkeres bid next summer. 

Victor Boniface – Nigeria and Bayer Leverkusen – 23 – is also up for consideration. Mr.Boniface does have some Dad joke potential.

 

My God what a miss we made on this. Wasted all that time and effort on Osimhen when this guy is 100x the player. We’d be the complete team with Duran up top.

All that time wasted on Osimhen 

If only we had signed him and not Kellyman (remember him?!)

Duran > Jackson, Duran > Osimhen. We messed up.

 

Also, that man Martinez is another Villa player we could do with. Great keeper.

Hmm, maybe we made a mistake not signing him.

Think we should really start giving our directors some credit when it comes to striker talent.

Would not go that far. Guiu we are yet to see how he turns out, Jackson still needs to develop more before we can label him top class, Washington looks to be a money making attempt signing like Angelo.

 

Anyone else?

Learn to separate players that were obviously bought to only flip.
 

Gyorkeres is arguably the best ST not named Haaland. Winstanley wanted him at Brighton. 

Jackson has more non penalty goals than Salah.  Cost us less than 40m.

Duran is kicking up a storm and even that Omardion bloke or w/e is killing it at Porto.

It's gonna be hilarious when Omorodion bags a hat trick against Man Utd tomorrow.
