The time has come :)
So what do you think has got to be done in the summer regarding ins and outs?

Well it's 5 more than Haller and Scamacca had scored when they rocked up.? And our success rate at forwards before Steidtan was called in has been phenomenal.!

"But he is hardly established. 5 Premier league goals. For that money can we not get someone more experienced with a bit more pedigree."
Presumably you were one of the people saying the same thing when we were offering £40m+ for Cole Palmer last summer? Duran is a lot more established then he was, and at a younger age. 10 international caps, 130 top flight games (in Colombia, USA and England). That's a fair bit of experience for a 20 year old.

Given he didn't play many minutes for Villa last season (~510) his highlights real looks like he does plenty of good things:

Fast, strong, decent skill, cannon of a shot and good on the volley.
It's probably the going rate for highly rated potential these days.

Looks good, explosive pace, built like a brick shit house and a thunderous shot.

Not meaning to sound too negative about the Duran deal. But he is hardly established. 5 Premier league goals. For that money can we not get someone more experienced with a bit more pedigree.
Is he any good?

To risk the wrath of others on here, it's an awful lot for someone with 5 Premier League goals to his name.
But it does seem like he barely started for them (3 games?), so you'd imagine he'd be Hungry Like the Wolf.

Although KWP can also play on the left, not sure AWB does

Think it will be one of KWP or AWB coming in at right back, i'd take either to be fair.

Hardly surprising we've gone back to freshly relegated Burnley to buy their winger after Cornet worked out so well when we did it last time.

Larsen for £8m seems to be getting a lot of mentions today.

I think there will be a pause in serious firm offers this week (maybe striker and another centre-back apart). Lopetegui will be making final judgements on who he wants to keep e.g, Downes Ings Coufal etc, and what youngsters he can use based on what he sees out in Austria. After which firm offers will be made for the targets that are lined up,

Point taken and agreed, that makes sense.
It's not that it's a bad or overpriced signing as such, but yes perhaps some of the excited is on hold until we see the depth of the squad improve.
I think the likes of Ineacho and Zaha is just (hopefully) lazy journalism. They reak of DS / DM style transfers and they don't sound like the sort of signing we would expect from Steidten.
Time will tell, I guess.

Kadioglu was born and brought up in Holland, actually played for Holland up to U19s I believe so the usual Turk failings probably won’t apply to him.

Turks and North Africans dont generally travel well to the premier league, mostly flops. I would avoid them all.

Got a feeling this Turkish LB won’t be as pumped up when playing in a foreign league. Be nice to be proved wrong though as he is some player, so long may it continue as long as that club is not a PL club I detest, of which there are a good few.

Not sure I want Iheanacho. I really hope he isn’t going to be out starting striker.

Pipe dream I know but my god, Turkey’s LWB Ferdi Kadioglu is some player. Be interesting to see where he goes on to when he is inevitably snapped up.

I think you're missing the point Scott
What I was saying is that concerns about the depth and quality of the squad are probably tempering the enthusiasm for this signing. It was a suggestion as to why the reaction has been so reserved. If all those other gaps are plugged before the end of the window I'm sure that most fans will be totally behind it.
For the rest of the window I want to see Steidten earn his corn... not rumoured interest in Wilson, Zaha etc
