The Prophet

He seems as mad as a pint of cake.

Didn't he sign a new deal after that incident? Villa are as ambitious as we are. I'm dubious they'd sell him unless they're forced to.

There's no reason for Villa to sell Duran, unless he asks to leave.

Can you break this down please. It's something that doesn't get discussed often enough on here.

We are not a well fanbase.

Aye, PSR has reduced the January transfer window to an absolute snooze.

Starting to sound awfully brattish in here.

The likes of Son, Alderweireld, Nkunku, etc were hardly total unknowns.

I'd say young, raw gems are very much his modus operandi.

Seems to be PSG bound.

There's probably an obvious answer, but I'm surprised Castle Leazes hasn't been considered.

Ornstein is such a grifter these days. Liverpool "could consider" a move for Kvara. Hot off the heels of Man United may shift homegrown players if they're close to the PSR limit. Total non-stories.

Thoughts on sticking him in a double pivot with Schar?

Three years left then. It needs sorting, but no rush. Could see a scenario where we insert a release clause, should we not qualify for the CL.

I assumed we were just trying to talk him into staying until the summer. Is there talk of a new deal?

Six years.

Pope is the superior keeper, but Dubravka doesn't deserve to lose his place at present.

I hope Pope doesn't come straight back into the side. He likely will mind.

I don't understand the PSR line. Wouldn't any wage increase be offset by amortizatiom? Also, how would a one of Champions League payment provide the wiggle room to change that?

Seems pretty nailed on to move to PSG.

Don't disagree, but he'd be a poor fit for us.

Cherki would be a poor fit for us.

"Could consider" Don't be too committal, David.

As long as there's football on, it doesn't really bother me. You need a decent amount of section to liven up the summer months though.
