Week 35: Sassuolo - Milan July 21 21:45

I know a lot of people have completely forgotten about and/or have written off Duarte, myself included. But if this post Covid period has taught us something, it's not to write anyone off. It'd be interesting to see how Duarte develops and gels with the squad when we are playing so well. Confidence can account for a lot in a player's performance, and who knows. Maybe when he's fully fit and inserted in a well functioning squad, he can actually pull his weight and be very useful.

I didn't think he was that bad and I don't think we saw enough of him to make a decision whether he should stay go. He's been injured too often. I'd be happy to keep him to see how he goes. Either that or we should loan him off to get game time, I wouldn't be selling him just yet.
