I do wonder if we are stalling past the 1st game of the season?

I think this has been the strategy. This probably means there won't be much movement on the Felix move until then either.

Seems a bit silly. Involve the want-away player in training while we miss out on giving the player we actually want time to gel with his teammates all just because Durán will inevitably score a 98th minute winner against us on the opening day.

West Ham seem to have switched attention to the big German lad .

Yeh, I don’t think so.

Who's that (said in Martinez voice)

WH just signed a 31 year old lump for 26m + add-ons
They’ve lost their minds

Young Duran and his stellar agent have made a bit of a mess of this one. Which London club can they flirt with next?

[Toronto Villa]

He’s likely going to have to come back to the club, receive a decent size fine and get on with it. I don’t think Emery is going to tolerate him if he acts a petulant twat. The kid has so much talent but he’s made a compete prat of himself. Maybe he still gets sold but it won’t be until late in the window now he’s seemingly blown his chances at Chelsea and West Ham.

[cdbearsfan]

What has he done to blow his chances? They offered us money, we turned it down. He's clearly a twat, but I can't see how his twattishness has made a move less likely.

[Ian.]

He’ll end up at Palace after they have sold their few superstars.

The Chelsea move was supposedly derailed by them having doubts about his attitude, based on his behaviour at Villa. I don't remember seeing anything about a fee when he was linked with them. 

[OCD]

Chelsea probably feel like they've dodged a bullet. Hopefully he's desperate enough to leave now that he goes to the Saudi club that was in for him.

[cdbearsfan]

Ah thanks, missed that. Still seems like West Ham were happy to take him, attitude and all, but we've been greedy and scared them off.
