'Captain Chaos' has the makings of a 'world-class player'

We asked for your views on Jhon Duran signing a new deal to extend his stay at Villa Park and what Unai Emery's future plans could be for the striker.

Here are some of your comments:

Cassie: Duran is a young player with very good ability. Emery is slowly introducing him to the starting XI, which is the correct course to take. When he is ready, Emery will know and he will unleash Duran. I think he is going to be one of the best strikers, not only in England but also in Europe. He has the strength, pace and confidence to be a world-class player, so let's not rush him.

Molly: Obviously this isn't just about rewarding Duran for his recent form, it is also about protecting Villa's interests in the event of any unwanted offers. This new contract has probably increased his book value to about £100m. Duran is far from the finished article; he lacks the finesse of Ollie Watkins. That is the problem: how does he displace Ollie?

Andy: Duran likes running at players, so I think he could be our new number 10, sitting behind Watkins. I feel he is our next John Carew. I'm so happy he has signed a six-year contract.

Dean: 'Captain Chaos' is a fantastic addition to our long-term future. Against Bayern Munich, he was like a coiled spring waiting to explode - and boy did he! I'm looking forward to seeing him become a big part of this group in the next few seasons. Pace, power and ability are all there - he just needs to show them consistently.

Chrissy: He should be starting and he should be given the chance to make an impact early on. Plus, if he is starting in this team, it should shake up Watkins and make him up his own game. That competition to be first pick must be allowed to have life, obviously to benefit the team and the fans.
