If Jhon Duran is available we surely need to be there? With Axel Disasi moving to Villa I can't help but think Chelsea might have already done or be close to a deal. This guy has serious potential, I didn't think Villa under any circumstance would let him go.

JazzG I think he's a very hard player to assess. There's a reason why he's not starting for Aston Villa, and it's that despite his obvious goal scoring ability, he doesn't do enough of everything else.
QuincyAbeyie Yeah, for 80m you'd want a sure thing not someone that might just be going through a purple-patch.
You are right in saying Watkins probably has a better all round game but he is 29 whereas Duran is 21, so has plenty of time to iron out chinks in his game.
Something about him, he looks a physical specimen and seems to have the x factor about him, can score a goal out of nothing. His movement is top class on top.
Big money I'm guessing, only 24 years old as well. Supposedly Jhon Duran has big money offers from Saudi as well.
It sounds like Heaven is going to Manchester United.
I assume they are doing the same thing they did with Chido Obi Wan Kinobi - just give him an experienced player salary when he's barely getting League Cup minutes.
Personally, I’m more intrigued by Mathys Tel than Duran. I’d love to see if we could drop 40-50m on Bayern’s door and see if they blink. He’d be great immediate cover and looks like he could develop into a real world class LW or CF.
samthegooner It is looking like going into the final week there are options appearing now, the options are limited and expensive but that is the cost for doing business in January.
Doubt we’ll bring in anyone.

Knew there was a reason I didn't like him
But in a serious note, he never looked to me like someone who'd be able to make the step up, and never impressed me to the point where I'm asking for him to get a few minutes here and there like we do with some of our other more impressive youth players.
Shame he's going for free and not for that 100% HG pure profit, but it is what it is. Pretty attrocious decision making from him there but I guess the money they're throwing around talks.
Big Willie i imagine they're giving him 30,000 pounds a week. His mom and dad will sit him down and tell him to grow up and stop talking about passion and cleaning Gabriel's balls. money talks.
Heaven forbid he turns out good, we won't hear the end of it.
I'd take Ferguson on loan if we had the space but we don't. I'd use most of that time to test his fitness and try to figure out if his issues are long term or not. If he could get fit he'd be an ideal CF to develop but that's a big if.
