Jhon Durán - signed

[paul_e]

Never heard of him but his youtube videos remind me of the stuff we saw of Benteke when he was first linked and no one had any idea who he was.

I hope his reflexes are good.

Main concern seems to be his *weakness of discipline but seemingly has all the attributes to be a Premier League striker.
Emery can certainly develop him.
* I imagine I'll be told its a Colombian character to be so hot in temperament

it was a duran duran joke not an actual concern about the player.

$18m according to ESPN - https://t.co/09bhxejjLN

I hope his reflexes are good.

I read it was just a loan, is there something I should know?

Perhaps he's one of the wild boys so we're testing the water with a loan?

No Más.

At his age you'd hope he'd be hungry, like I don't know a wolf or something

I hope his reflexes are good.

Hopefully he won't be a lonely child waiting in Villa Park.

$18m, rising to $22m according to ESPN.

that's Ł15m-17m

Conversely, opponents also know how to wind Duran up with 2.6 fouls per 90 the seventh most in the 2022 MLS campaign, and to reinforce a weakness of 'discipline', the striker did receive five yellow cards and one red last season, so any area that is in need of improvement, but one that will in time and with experience.

Sounds like he might become a bit notorious.

$18 million he must be good, straight into the first team squad - lets hope that he is "easier than a nuclear war"

[VILLA MOLE]

Is he the winger he was talking about ?

[Drummond]

He's from Medellin, Colombia;  let's hope it's medellin by name and medalling by nature.

Chicago have done really well on this. They paid less than $2m in January last year.

Who elected you El Presidente?!

I doubt it, he looks like a classic target man to me.

[KevinGage]

I think realistically we won't be replacing Watkins or Ings this window, probably not in the summer either.

I agree re this window.  But hope we have at least solid competition for them in the summer. Ideally a forward a notch or two above the pair of them, if McGrath is good.

Haha!
