Jhon Durán | West Ham submit offer of 57m

Ah fair enough. I had never heard of him before he rocked up at Villa.
I would have endorsed anyone at the time with his profile at the time though, so it's hardly a good call. We were desperate for anything.

True enough! I've liked what I've seen of him, and didn't realise he was so young.
 
Seems you just want to blow your own trumpet because you started the thread.
No, because I had completely forgotten i made the thread & two, I despise the way this forum treats unknowns and then gets pissed at the club for not unearthing gems when other clubs take the risks in signing them and they turn out great.
 
Reminded me of Louis Saha in his style, with his agressivity on the ball and that left foot.

Let's see how he develops
 
It will get rejected and he ain't going anywhere atm. After his purple patch, he hasn't been all that great tbh. It's still very raw.

Read they'd accept silly money - c. 85m.
Jhaysus big money. He looks good but why would he move to West Ham?

He would probably hold out for PSG who are also interested but at least at West Ham he would be the guaranteed starter.
 
He’s an absolutely elite striking prospect. Villa would be idiots to sell.
 
West Ham will probably be told to promptly feck off and then comeback and offer the same money for Watkins instead.
 
When was the last time we sold academy player (Rice) for over 100m?

Haven't they spent like £300m since selling him? Which is a substantial increase over their previous seasons before selling him, at some point, that profit has gone.

But yeah, Utd spend like £200m every year without selling anyone really!
 
They almost got him for £35m in the summer. They haven’t given up.

Could he tempt them with Zirkzee for £30m or Hojlund for £50m?
