17 hours ago17 hr i think this might be true...even the BBC are listing it & other fans are crying their eyes out. Well i never.Actually can i upgrade my "well i never" to "F*ck my boots"The bloke on the BBC has just said "Chelsea bound Morgan Rodgers" very matter of fact. Edited 16 hours ago16 hr by OTL
16 hours ago16 hr Well that's a proper signing! Walks straight to the starting lineup and improves it. We haven't had a singing like this in a while.

I suspect Jackson goes for around £60 million at least to villa so net transfer fee will be around £55 million for Rodger’s if it happens. Edited 16 hours ago16 hr by El regreso

16 hours ago16 hr Well that came out of nowhere. Here was me thinking we were in a bargain basement summer. Lot of money but I’d rather that than spend the equivalent on Garnacho and Gittens.Depending on formation could solve the terrible left wing. Dont think he’s the Enzo replacement because Enzo is not and never will be a 10z

15 hours ago15 hr Arsenal fans are really weird. If Chelsea had won the league title, there is nothing that could bring me down, yet they're going mental after less than two months. I was on a high from the Champions League win for half a year.
14 hours ago14 hr Completely Mugged…again, ridiculous fee for a player no better than Barkley/Drinkwater

14 hours ago14 hr Never really been impressed by him. When the news broke I was shocked, then after being reminded about City’s former youth team, and the Joe Shields links + the dodgy gentlemen’s agreement we have/had with Villa previously, so most likely they’ll sign Jackson or someone off us. Then it takes away the shock a little. For that fee, you need someone who scores goals.. for which his record is poor. It’s really concerning, can’t see any balance in the squad, nor has this solved our key problems. God I hope he proves me wrong.

It’s a stupid fee, and you see why European clubs don’t get involved. At that fee you expect a world class player which he isn’t even close to.

14 hours ago14 hr I do like Rogers, but I also understand the concerns. If he was signed for £60-70m, I don't think people would be as worried, but £117m is a hell of a lot of money for one player. For that money, I want Palmer levels when he is at his best, and Rogers hasn't shown close to those levels yet.

I don’t want to see Rogers hugging the touchline or he and Palmer get in the way of one another. Play to his strengths that also benefits everyone else.

12 hours ago12 hr In isolation it’s a crazy fee. But looking at the market now, it’s almost the premier league norm (Anderson, Tonali, Mateus Fernandes). By our own standards, I prefer this to 50M plus on Gittens, Neto, Mudryk, plus the countless others we can throw into that conversation. Premier league proven, good mentality, dynamic, physical player. Pretty sure a number are still to leave, so a smaller, focused, higher quality squad is good for me.
