What's new

Morgan Rogers

Wow. Always like his directness. Be interesting to see what Villa fans think of this.

Also wonder what it means for Quenda, although he was unlikely be to starter in year one for LW.

Estevao, Quenda, J Pedro, Palmer, Rodgers - pretty happy with that - one from below will likely stay (Neto), and strikers although Jackson and Emegha will get a chance

Figure out what to do with Neto, Delap, Gittens, and assuming Garnacho gone.

for no europe still feels a lot, hard to build minutes for them and they are at an age where they need it

 
I've said multiple times. With our club we don't know until we know. They keep the leaks down more than anyone else.

As a club its been a rule for years, they barely ever comment on any rumours or transfers until its pretty much done, thankfully.

 
Terrible signing, he's incredibly inconsistent.

It's just a continuation of us buying all of Man City's ex youth players like it's some kind of plan.

Really hate it, wrong profile imo.

 
That does seem like an insane deal. That is all of the Santos and Cucurella money plus a little bit of the Chalobah money going on one player. He is a key player for Villa though, so it's the only kind of money that would get a move.

My issue with Rogers is that he is inconsistent. He goes through purple patches. Can't have that for a player that will cost £117m, we need it every game.

My exact reaction when I saw this rumour pop up. Joe Shields must hold some real power to make this happen, another of his former city connections right?

Was laughed at on here for suggesting we’d sign him Lacroix and Wharton

This huge outlay, if it happens, drastically decreases the chance of Signing them.

Much as this is a exciting possible signing I'd be much more excited if we signed Diogo Costa, or secured two class center backs, or a top midfield partner for Caicedo, with these resources.

I mean I'd have said there was no chance we'd make such a deal so if they prove me wrong again and sign up Lacriox, Wharton and Diogo Costa along with Rogers then great, I'd be very happy with that would be BlueCos best window by a million miles.

If he is an Enzo replacement, then Rodgers is streaky. It’s not a bad replacement as Enzo had 14 goals + assists last season. We will need them replacing somehow.

Mixed feelings really. I like Enzo but you always want more from him - more athleticism, more defensive work, more goals etc. Maybe if we’re feeling like that then it’s time to move on him and making a profit (something we never thought we would see)

There is a bigger chance the chunk of money the club raise from now on is from multiple small ones like Garnacho, Badiashile, Disasi, Delap etc. rather than Enzo.

Who is going to buy him? There is only a handful of clubs. I think if he is to go I see City as the most equiped to buy him. The others would be Real Madrid and Paris, but I really can't see those two spending over 100M for Enzo. Unless Paris sell one of Vitinha or Joao Neves, which is unlikely.

 
Wow!

Out of nowhere!

It's a lot of money but he's a player I rate highly.

Xabi has some pull, and well done Chelsea for a statement signing.

To sign him without Champions League football is impressive.

And, the added bonus we hijack Arsenal 😂

A small two page sample. Great fee, quality player but inconstant, laughing at Arsenal, what’s he thinking going to Chelsea.

I'd be shocked if we haven't already agreed a deal with Enzo elsewhere. This prospective signing seems to be lined up as Enzo replacement

Think you are right . My guess is he is going to Saudi

 
Lets hope it works out better than the last "Arsenal Hijack" lol, Middlesbrough getting 20% apparently?

 
That’s an interesting thought. Enzo sale agreed and Rodgers in. Think most would take that given Rodgers physicality in PL.

whatever the state, we still must address GK, GB and CM

 
Yesterday... "He's by far villas standout player, he was brilliant against us too. He has pace power, technique intelligence. He has it all imo. I think we're scared because he's English. We've seen time again that English players fall short technically."

Weren’t Arsenal going to pay £80m for him, how did we arrive at £117m? The £80m was already inflated IMO.

Wouldn’t look to much into his output at Villa as their attack ran through him, will be interesting to see if he steps up on a higher platform with other players.

Rogers and Palmer as the two 10s it is then.

Hopefully Enzo is f**king off now as well

I thought we were finished because we hadn’t spent £400m on the first day of the window? It’s almost like it’s a World Cup year… great signing
