Morgan Rogers - great lad and a wonderful signing.

Pedro, Palmer, and Rogers is a crazy trio.

Estevao and Quenda as depth too 😬

Well pleased with this signing.

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.

Best mates with Palmer apparently so we can finally move Tosin on.

Romano saying Jackson to Villa is a possibility.

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.

BlueCo cooking the books again with Villa. 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.

Joe Shields must hold some real power to make this happen, another of his former city connections right?

I'm half expecting that if we do end up flogging Gusto to Man City, that we'll see James Trafford coming the other way.

Tosin was never Palmer's best mate.....he's his uncle 😆

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

It keeps getting better and better.

Apparently Napoli and Newcastle are interested in Badiashile too.

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.

Completely Mugged…again, ridiculous fee for a player no better than Barkley/Drinkwater

Did you make a joke Bob?

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.

Well said. 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.

Anderson and Tonali have set the market. It is what it is.

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 think above all, there better be a plan.

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.
