Jhon Durán - signed

Duncan Ferguson without the skill that's how my mate called him last night.  Not entirely off the mark.

Don’t really see that at all.

[eamonn]

Yeah...was Ferguson even that skilful?

Trying to gee up the crowd was interesting from a young lad too. I like him.

I spotted that too. He could be a character.

From his cameos so far he seems a right mongrel of a player, it seems he could be a physical target man or a trendy inside forward. The versatility will help him, just hope he can find the net too.

Would have liked to have seen him come on and play with Watkins again as they have looked to work quite well in the short time on the pitch they have had together.

No

No

Isn't that the joke? Like saying somebody is like Thatcher without the compassion, or like John Merrick without the good looks etc...

Luke Chadwick made a good PM.

[Risso]

Luke Chadwick had all sorts of mental health issues because of the stick he took over his looks, think we need to knock that one on the head.

Thatcher would have worked for both of those.

Although François Mitterrand apparently found her alluring.

Mind you, he'd have shagged a wardrobe if you put a dress on it, the randy old goat.

Seems a good egg does our Jhon. https://twitter.com/jhonduran991/status/1629149706533146625

He is running this football factory franchise now and seems to be doing well and came across very well

A former housemate had a strange love hate relationship with him.  This was when he was first breaking into the team at Man Utd (01-02) and looked fairly promising (Chadwick not my housemate).

They played in the same junior setup - and Chadwick ended up at Man Utd, my house mate had trails at Cambridge but never made it.  Whilst my housemate was handy in our 5 aside team, his biggest claim to fame was appearing on the front page of the Leicester Mercury (along with me and some other mates) the day after England beat Argentina at the 2002 World Cup.

For his birthday we bought him a Man Utd shirt with Chadwick's name and number on the back - and I don't think I have ever seen a man so conflicted in my life.  I like to think he still has it, and wares it during love making as a memory of a happy period in our life's

Duran appears to be very eager to make an impression.
Emery has him at a stage in his career where he can mould him into something special.
I've already noticed he's not quick to pass, but I believe he wants to enjoy and make the most of his time on the field.
Late in the game against Arsenal there was an opportunity to pass to Bailey, or take it to the corner but Duran instead took an ambitious shot. To be fair, Bailey would probably do the same thing when it came to shooting at goal.

I could see him coming on for 15 minutes or so against Everton.
So far, there have been very encouraging signs and also the need to adapt and improve decision making.
As Villa progress it's good to have Duran on board as real improver in the whole work of progress and will be one I think improves with the team.

Looking forward to seeing more of him.
