Hmmm, they are foreign.
Not just foreign - Spanish. They've got history of acting behind people's backs - look no further than King Phillip II's catholic counter-reformation of the 16th century, ignoring will of the Habsburg Dutch.

Clearly a bunch of wrong 'uns and ne'er do wells.

Case closed for me.

Never mind what they did to Atahualpa, the bastards.

Just look at the way they smuggled suspected terrorist Fr. John Gerard out of the country, right from under the nose of Robert Cecil.

Absolutely! There's a reason the locals here have been saying for centuries, "De Espanha nem bom vento nem bom casamento.”

But then, if they hadn't conquered South America you wouldn't have a continent full of Latin Americans so...

Fortunately there's no such saying about Inglaterra, thanks to the Treaty of Windsor,

They didn't conquer South America at least not most of it. They got their arse handed to them so many times they gave up. It was through a peaceful process they managed to stay there and breed.

Rogers is my kind of guy.
"I’ve always prided myself on the number of positions I can play; I’ve done that since I was young. I love the game and I know what each position entails. I have the football intelligence to know what’s asked and to try to carry it out for the team. Some positions suit more than others, of course, but I’m more than happy to play anywhere — as long as I’m on the pitch. That’s the most important thing and always has been.”

Let's hope for a golden age with a Rogers and Astaire type partnership.

What I know about him from the little I've seen is that he's better than Duran but hasn't the power of shot.

In Emery and Emery staff we trust.

Looks a different type of player from the little I’ve seen.  In the clips I’ve seen he’s either in the ‘number 10’ position or in wider areas.
He's ready to play Emery -ball.
More so than Duran

"When I moved to Man City, it’s the most structured team in the league, in the world. I found it hard to get that balance right. They signed me because of my abilities, obviously, but at the same time there’s a structure there and the structure works. I found it difficult to put the two together.

“I was being a mannequin, just doing what they said, which isn’t what they want. They do tell you, but they want you to put your own capabilities on it. I struggled, to be honest.

“I had to go away and learn, how to take instructions from a coach and impose myself within that. It’s still a work in progress but I feel I’m getting better at it. I can still do a job for the team but be myself, express myself. Ultimately, that’s what they want.

“I’d been a winger at West Brom, but I had more freedom to do what I wanted. At City, it helped me learn, but it took me back a bit. It definitely made me a better person, having to learn that.”

Hopefully not Rogers and Dusty Bin, 3-2-1

And that's why Grealish is so boring now.

Good news. Obviously he has a lot to learn, but at 21 and 6'4" he should prove a great acquisition. I just hope our fans give him time to settle into the Premier League. Another plus, he's a local lad born in Halesowen, so he'll be well familiar with the area.

Plus Mark Harrison will have had him at West Brom as a kid.

It might be cheaper for us just to buy West Brom.

You can recycle carrier bags these days can't you?

Emery sees something in him so thats me sold.

Agreed, between Emery and the scouts they are clearly seeing something in Rogers that they didn't maybe see in Archer, Philogene or Aaron Ramsey.
