Maximilian Beier CONCRETE Interest, Italian WONDERKID Bid & Iling-Jr MEDICAL confirmed

[@craftingcameron8636]

We need Maximilian to learn and improve under Emery and Watkins

Brilliant name. Snap him up Roadrunner 🎉 beep beep... Joking aside, I think Kayode's a very exciting prospect, one who has earned his way on the international scene as a U19 Champ and a regular first teamer taking advantageif injuries, opportunities etc. The risks are likely less than others his age per his body of work so far and his work ethic. He is also well thought of in Italy with many there saying 15m is undervalued, likely worth closer to 30m... he wld absolutely thrive under Emery 👍 from me

Can't see Beier happening. He's class and only 21. He will want to play, not sit on the bench behind Ollie. Kayode however is a baller. Seriously class. Let's get him

Wild E and Kayode

Anyone else feel like we should keep Duran and try to make him happy? We can offer him more money and maybe that would work. He is only going to get better. Maybe sell him next year.

If Chelsea fill that striker hole this summer, there is no guarantee we will get an offer in the region of 40m next season and we will have a grumpy kid on the bench for a year too. Would obviously love to keep him long term as he seems like a great talent, but his attitude is all wrong. Even Mcginn hinted at it after the liverpool game

[@Lioness_UTV]

I personally really enjoy Duran's competitive edge (not the drama), how he isn't afraid to go toe to toe with Joe Gomez at Anfield 😅 and then score two fab goals at Villa Park. There aren't many fearless talented strikers like that, that make you sit foward a little when they come on or get the ball. BUT its important to keep in mind that we have been more patient with him than anyone else. He's had extra time with Emery and we've tried to see things his way etc. Leaving is his choice, Chelsea is his choice and I suspect Emery has said enough. If he wants to go, go. If he isn't going to be patient, or trust, take direction from his coach that this is a process of learning, evolving his game. Most importantly, we are 'now' at the point where he is disrespecting Emery, the coaches, the players and Aston Villa. IF he comes back it's with conditions...

[@mikekane9213]

@@Lioness_UTV Well for one I don't think anyone really knows what is going on behind the scenes. Has he been asking for more playing time? Probably. He's been on the bench for two years. That is really frustrating. Duran has been patient too and trusted the process. Then his name gets thrown around like he is acting up, but he is still out there scoring goals and showing love for Villa. If Emery says to him "hey, we might ship you" he might says he wants to play for Chelsea. No big deal. I personally think this attitude story is blown a bit out of proportion. Every team has guys that have big personalities. Lukaku didn't work with Chelsea and had a bad falling out. Looks like he did just fine for Roma and they embraced him. I don't want to be the team that missed on Duran.
