Morgan Rogers - f**king off to Chelsea

[enigma]

They wanted Beckham gone so he doesn't count.

Yep. Fergie tried to flog him to Barca first.

We were always going to sell him this summer in order to be able to get in some quality players. It's great business and we can look forward to some more decent incomings. Rogers may do great things at Chelsea but fuck him now.

Everything will be fine. Keep your shit together.

There is a scenario where we can hopefully reinvest this money and strengthen.  There is also.a senario where we lose a number of our starting XI and don't replace them with like-for-like quality and we saw what happened there when Barry, Young, Downing and Milner all left and weren't properly replaced. 

I remember having a conversation with some felliw Villa fans in the airport on the way home from Istanbul about that achievement feeling like it could either be the start of something or it was the pinnacle and signalled the end of something.

It's a lot of money to pay to keep Palmer company.

Will Rogers have to change his super duper goal celebration?

Little bit surprised we did not see a bit jiggery pokery and a Chelsea player coming the other way and the total package being closer to the 140m we wanted

Who would we want that they won't let go? I am surprised both Tielemans and Rogers are gone. I hope it doesn't affect Unai's will as much as anything. To still lose players to Chelsea when we have Champions League and they don't shows the level of bullshit we have to overcome.

Rogers isn't perfect but he has been critical to our structure over the last two seasons. It is a huge blow. That said our best, most freewheeling year under Unai was his first 12 months in charge and Morgzzzz wasn't here then.

If we use the dosh to buy more goals from other areas so we can start spreading the load then we can improve. Mbaye and Rashford would do. Forest will surely want equally daft money for Gibbs-White now and who can blame them?
