[@irf2856]

I only watch the athletic for Joe Devine. In fact, I don't even like football. I just really like Joe Devine. Joe Devine.

[@irf2856]

Joe Devine.

[@kimani5656]

Papa Devine

[@jagonchichon590]

Devine should be on more but James Richardson et al are also great

[@SkillsFx]

Zesty af. He's zesty af with an annoying voice

[@andyhills9972]

Is that you Joe

[@edwinmadzinga1457]

Dream panel Orny, Horny, Joe and Jon. Fantastic.

[@JJJackson777]

all we're missing is the Bull

[@domhuckle]

I wonder what utter tosh I would watch as long as Joe Devine was host

[@Mingwhizz]

It felt like everyone was impressed and enjoying Jon Mackenzie's analysis, nice moment for him, clearly puts the work in!

[@hanspillow278]

Petition to get a woof from john "the dog" mcknezie. It's been ages and it's the only reason I watch tifo

[@LordSeth-hf8ew]

i love how fucked the market is that a player can have 6 good months and hes worth 100m, its barmy, 50 million is now barely an offer

[@Crevulus]

100m for a back up striker. What.

[@sk2790]

It's just a number what the selling club wants to start the negotiations with. It's not the market value and as long as no clubs buy for that price, he wont ever be worth that

[@mattgoodwin9106]

You’ve got to take into account his age he’s 21, plus how many players at his position are there out there on the market. Duran is a fantastic young player with a lot of potential who’s playing very well at villa.

[@andyelgrand0]

Big numbers sell papers... in reality... how many clubs have ever bought a player worth 100£+? Maybe Arsenal (Rice after stockpiling for 6 years), PSG+Man city+Chelsea (tyrant owners... Chelsea not anymore), Real Madrid (Most succesful team ever) and Atletico... thats it... 5 teams....

[@Machinationstudio]

80m for Emerson Royale?

[@aumjasani3412]

James genuinely looked impressed of Jon from his analysis of Duran’s data.

[@ckubox6733]

Data visualizations are beautiful especially when been well explained.

[@markkajc]

2 Legends of the game, James and David are here aswell

[@ntandoyenkosimahonde31]

"All the ichs, he scratched them" What a moment!

[@ironcrusader728]

I can't see past John's over the top use of hand movements ever since that sensible transfers the other week

[@HappyClapperLFC]

I imagine Joe telling him time and time again. “More energy. More actions. More hands.”

[@PazLeBon]

Looks like a tory

[@panferano3278]

57 mil for Duran from West Ham is already a high sum

[@ZoGhost]

Brilliant episode - James is great and his voice / cadence is so soothing. Joe doing Joe things as usual. No notes

[@Tanzello]

generational lineup here, it’s what dreams are made of

[@Lioness_UTV]

I can tell you as a Villa fan that Duran's attitude has had a remarkable turnaround. He has been training well, and has been improving his game under Emery. And as importantly he has settled in well now with the players. On a future note, we have basically resigned ourselves to the fact that he will be a one season wonder for us. He is a rare player, theres just something explosive about him where he can score at any time. An incredibly exciting player, unpredictable and skillful. He's a real throwback, all he wants to do is play and score goals...

[@MrWarbley]

06:38 when the edible kicks in

[@matthewmason8982]

Why would John Duran move from Villa to West Ham? Surely he’d rather trade up.

[@lnonno9321]

More game time is probably the only advantage. Means he would be able to become more appealing as an asset for an even bigger team in theory

[@kh7688]

"All the ic's, he's scratched them" Very well played 👏🏾

[@jeff5534]

£100mill for Duran?! Good luck with that

[@NedTesco]

I think the point is they don't want to sell him at all (they see him as the long term heir to Watkins) and so will only do so if a crazy offer is put on the table

[@BallersFC77]

I have never in my life heard 'countenance' used in that way/context. Learn something new every day.

[@samuelloification2749]

The thing that fans don't get about Jhon Duran is that clubs have always seen him as an elite talent . Fans see him banging them in now and feel like he's cone from nowhere but Villa beat top clubs to his signing years ago and batted away loads of otfers last summer. Everyone in football has always known how high his potential could be

[@whatwelearned]

He's 21 and plays 20 mins/game. You're not getting 100m for Watkins so 100m for Duran is a joke

[@nathanrobertson819]

@@whatwelearnedthe £100m valuation is beside the point. Villa don’t want to sell, UNLESS someone breaks the bank for him. It’s a normal negotiation tactic

[@utkarshkumar1526]

Jhon Duran - i'm going to be the one that goes and says it - its a purple patch and he'll never live up to the hype. disclaimer - should he go on to bang bare goals, i'll expect a blow up.

[@worldmedic3187]

As a Chicago Fire fan he was really forgettable, I'm glad he has matured.

[@taaaaaaaazzzzzz]

City being in for a 4th signing while none of them being a midfielder has to be the biggest surprise of the window.

[@Taymakesfirebeats]

We need to get a deadline day special yeah

[@alfredaramouni5884]

i have theory aston villa are not playing duran to keep he stat high and sell him for more if he actually play he might looks mid and loose value

[@3R513]

He's a striker and he scores, which suggests he's good at his job.

[@keithwhittaker]

its an absolute joke that Sheffield isn't marketed as the birthplace of football.

[@strength_by_forge]

Yet utd have a cheap by back clause on fernadez whi has played as a literal LWB. Sigh

[@jhf2121]

That's not active until the summer and Fernandez is doing well and is settled in Benfica, so no guarantee he'd agree to return.

[@nicholaskrit17]

Douglas Luiz was just an account operation…

[@NiiAyi-q9p]

I can see Duran leaving for a 77mil euro bid from Al Nassr

[@utdforever9236]

Swap Zirkzee with Douglaz Luiz & swap Garnacho with Osimhen & I believe united will finish in top 4

[@mcsaucess]

James has such great hair

[@PazLeBon]

Forest bid 60m for Cunha

[@Lintybaybay]

Losing Garnacho is going to hurt in about 5 years, I can see him becoming world class and being worth 2.5x the figures being talked about now. Selling your homegrown talent is the beginning of the end

[@liam3104]

I don’t think his potential is that high. He needs to improve an astronomical amount in too many ways

[@Pengboycarti]

Pogba was the only talent United sold and it was a mistake contrary to what the media agenda wants you to think. Garnacho is not talented nor will he be missed. Fans need to stop getting emotional about a player whose a Madrid fan that’s built his career off a poorly run club.

[@Lintybaybay]

@@liam3104that’s why I said in 5 years. With the ability he has now, if he’s playing in a functioning team do you honestly think he isn’t going to improve? No one can predict the future, he could get an injury that curtails all of this, but I think there’s a good chance we’ll regret this

[@Lintybaybay]

⁠@@Pengboycartiif we only signed and kept players because they were “fans of the club” then we’d never have a squad lol. Doesn’t matter who he supports, I’m just saying he’ll be worth more in 5 years that’s all, we will look stupid(er) after this one

[@cosmicbaggy9637]

Garnacho is just another overhyped United ‘generational talent’. Rashford being another…

[@nicholaskrit17]

Why are Chelsea after another winger?

[@viscaelbarca122]

what happened to jj

[@silverscuderia]

Aberdeen called him in to help with their slump.

[@MarkEnglish-r4h]

Douglas LUIZ overrated at best lasted 4 months in Italy with his bimbo girlfriend- now he wants back in the premier league

[@darthmaul408]

Right, Rashford to Barcelona. Even if, and it’s a MASSIVE if Barca could afford a permanent move or a loan, where does he play in that team? For all of their financial difficulties, Barca’s forward line has enough options. Would anyone actually start Rashford over Raphina or Yamal? Come on.

[@ATWOOD726]

Stop saying Erling “Horland”.

[@mattdennen7067]

Duran has obvious behavioral issues that I predict will force Aston Villa to sell him in a year or two for less than west ham’s bid

[@Kitofthearts]

Nope, completely disagree. 21 years old & is down to environment

[@Elite-0Zero]

Duran wasn't sent off for "violent conduct" against Newcastle. He was sent off for violent conduct. It actually happened, it wasn't supposed or alleged, the referee of the game has the authority to enforce the laws of the game and he received a red card. "Journalists" don't obfuscate fact with quote marks. Oops, see what I did there?

[@LukeSever-ci6sm]

He was sent off because schar feigned an injury to a different part of his body and the ref made a snap judgement on that and ignored VAR. What JD did do was still probably a red because he raked studs on schars back.

[@pozsoz]

David Hornstein the guy she tells you not to worry about

[@Burpingtogheter]

26:35 i like horncastle, i think he's one of the 2 or 3 english speakers to ever take the 5 minutes to learn how to at the very least pronounce italian, but he's just plain wrong here, milan have had one of the best rightbacks in europe for years now in calabria davide, who is also our captain and has been crucial to milan's success as of late, he seems to have had fallen out favour with fonseca who insisted on playing that absolute bum that is emerson (i assume that was because he brought him in and they shared a language? as the captain's performances didn't take a dip and even when they were fit (not a lot tbf) he wasn't fielding our best players in general), the problem is that milan have 5 rightbacks now: walker and calabria who are milan level, terraciano and florenzi who are serie a level and emerson who is barely serie b level? probably our worst signing since kalinic. tldr: we don't need walker, he might be one of the few rightbacks around that are better than calabria but i suspect the latter will bench him as well with time and we have too many rightbacks.

[@pingusbabyyy451]

i love calabria and hes super underrated but he is not one of the best in the world

[@hansj5846]

£57m for Duran 😂😂😂 Jesus wept

[@collapsiblechair9112]

should be £10m
