Dang, Djordje measuring up quite well…check the SCA90 & TO90 numbers compared the others in this top 10 GCA90.
From BBC Sport/Football Aston Villa turned down 40 offers for Colombia forward Jhon Duran, 20, during the summer transfer window. (The Mirror)
There were offers for him, too, but only Pontius Pilot's was accepted. Ruined his short term career, his crosses were terrible for a while, but did wonders for his "legend" status.
He could raise Pele to start alongside Cuypers AND Maradona to start as our attacking midfielder. If Miami can have the "current" G.O.A.T., we should be able to have the previous ones. Does Pele have a green card? Not sure if we have to intentional spots available.
He just scored what may be the goal of the season for Aston Villa. I put it in the Fire Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck thread, but it should go here 1835018292601536520 is not a valid tweet id He collected the "goal of the month" for August (he also placed second) https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/september/09/dur-n-scoops-august-goal-of-the-month/ He has scored three goals in four EPL (which sucks) matches this season.
Why isn’t everyone cackling about how the defense isn’t closing in on him like they did about Shaq? Lol. EPL.
“And Villa’s president of football operations, Monchi, explained why, saying: ‘Unai is very confident with Jhon Duran. Very confident. He thinks he can become one of the best strikers in the world in the next 12 months. He is 100 per cent convinced.’” That’s a quick turnaround.
Of course. It was Duran being a brat and an agent looking to make a ton of money. Of course, I can't blame Jhon. Living in London compared to Birmingham?!?
From today’s news: “If Duran plays his cards right, he can achieve all of that and more. It is a pretty big 'if' though. Duran is still a Villa player because of circumstances, not because of a careful plan or Unai Emery's determination to keep him. They spent much of the summer trying to move Duran to Chelsea and had West Ham offered a little more than £32m, Duran would now be at the London Stadium. The previous January, Villa contacted half of Serie A pleading with them to take Duran and allow them to sign another forward. Emery recognised Duran's talent but had become fed up of his erratic performances in training and inconsistent behaviour. His team-mates patience was similarly tested. No wonder John McGinn once described 'Big Jhon' as 'a bit nuts at times' and occasionally 'a nightmare to have in your team'.” Sounds like his attitude issues are still there.
