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

Maybe Emery has a touch of the Moyes and just doesn't like him and he wants playing time.
I'm sure I heard or read somewhere that he was bought for him and not by him and that even when he's looked good he's taken him off.

Obviously Duran has good potential, but he is Notorious for his terrible attitude, which is why Emery is desperate to cash in on him.

Using the tried, tested and proven player recruitment we all tend to use ( sitting on sofa blowing off and watching games or highlights on the telly), this Duran fella definitely has potential and is a real handful for defenders.
Steidten and team will probably use data analysis ( KPIs ) and squalid professional scouting and recruitment techniques but in spite of that they can rest assured my casual, armchair analysis is backing them on this one. I wasnt even pissed one time I saw him come on for Villa !!! The Sir Alf stamp of approval. A guarantee, 100% mitigation of risk

He is only 20
Looked lively when he came on and scored twice in the 3-3 v Liverpool though one was a complete fluke
Would be more worried that his parents couldnt spell John

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.

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.
