    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.
     
  9. Could motor on a boggy pitch as if it were dry.

    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.

    HIS working of the league player rules would be well beyond what LA or Miami have ever pulled off.

    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


    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.

    I’m not sure that’s what 40 teams inquired about him before the season, allegedly.

    Why isn’t everyone cackling about how the defense isn’t closing in on him like they did about Shaq? Lol. EPL.
     
  18. Everton sucks, bad.

    If that defending is any indication…

    Beautiful strike though.

    “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.

  22. Villa probably never wanted to sell him.

    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.

    Daily Mail UK: Why Jhon Duran can be the 'best striker in the World' if he fixes the one problem Aston Villa tried to sell him for this summer

    We saw that when he took to social media trying to force the move to West Ham.
    Again, he is a brat.
