What do you guys think of jhon Duran? I know he hasn't had a huge amount of minutes but I don't see much in him, he looks awkward and first touch leaves a lot to be desired, if he's a better player than archer I'll eat my hat, for me he's more of a Davis.
Seen a link today claiming we are ready to accept 20 million for archer however true it is?

Agree0 Disagree0

I think it’s a bit too early to judge yet he seems very quick which seems a pre requisite for any front player these days. From the little bit we have seen he reminds me a little bit of the old Wolves player Steve Kindon in that he just puts his head down and runs with the ball he doesn’t know what he is going to do with the ball anymore than the defenders know what he’s going to do with it! I agree that if I am chasing a game as it stands I would rather bring on an Archer rather than a Duran but as with all things you need time to give Duran a chance to prove his worth.

Re the Archer rumours I saw those yesterday and I think if we spend big on another striker, Watkins signs a new deal and we persevere with Duran then effectively Archer is fourth choice and at 22 years of age with a goalscoring record like his would you accept being fourth choice?

Think all our loans bar Tim will be sold in the summer, if we get 25M for Archer that is very good business - Fans won't like it, but selling Grealish, Chuckwumeka and Archer for 150+M is a sign of a very successful academy - Add probably another 25M potentially for Ramsey and Philogene and we have a nice bump in our transfer budget for the summer. Our Academy should be seen as a very good revenue source as well as a production line got first team players

Morning lads
I know it’s a different subject but I just can’t believe how Luca digne has just become an average player at Everton he was class and when he first joined us I know game time can affect players but as soon as he gets the ball there is no drive he just stops looks up at passes straight back to mings I know there is a quality player in there somewhere but it just baffles me it’s like his hunger has disappeared. This is a French international player happy to be a squad member.

BK the academy might be a good revenue stream for the club but at present it is far from being a production line for the first team.

The important phase there is "at present", we have Jacob Ramsey who's a starter in our best 11 currently and Tim Iroegbunam who most of us would expect to feature heavily next season. There is also very high hopes for Josh Feeney, Lemar Bogarde, Rory Wilson and Kerr Smith who are all around the 18ish mark. I think its unrealistic to expect a conveyor belt of young talent in our first team given there's only really been a massive revamp of the under age set up 4 years ago. These players will come through, and the others that don't will generate large sell on fees, I think (like everything at Villa) we just need to be patient.

Whilst I might want a conveyor belt of talent BK, after so many years of under investment I don’t expect one, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect for some to appear at least on the bench rather than having 2 goalkeepers as not only is that a pointless exercise but what message does it send to all the talented kids that are allegedly coming through? Not a positive one I would suggest.

Re Iroegbunam don’t hold your breath he is a target for Rangers during the summer window.

Rangers can't afford him! Besides now Gerrard has gone, why would we help his mate? The Championship is better than the SPL. Be better to send them abroad to Holland or Italy. Lookman is having a good season at Atalanta.

I think Jacob Ramsey proves that if they are good enough they will play LotM - Chuckwumeka would also have had plenty of game time if he didn't chase the riches of Chelsea and I'd be interested to know if Emery would have sanctioned the Iroegbunam loan. There's a path to the first team but we need to accept for every Jack Grealish or Jacob Ramsey there will be 20 players who simply don't make the grade and the aim then is to get as much money as we can for them.

Good post BK you hit the nail on the head
