Morgan Rogers

[Three Spires Villa]

Rogers has gone from playing Rotherham at the Riverside six weeks ago, to playing Ajax on their own turf for us.

It's a bizarre signing.

Why? I agree with most on here. You can’t judge him yet. I thought Bailey was terrible and a waste. You have got to give him a chance to see what he can do and where we eventually play him

[VillaTim]

I agree with signing potential, but this player is nowhere near ready for this level. The fact he's coming on as a sub and then being subbed off says it all. The fact he played at Ajax is truly bizarre .

[Percy McCarthy]

Size is on his side, not sure how pacey he is ?

Can you knock up a chant for that using the Rolling Stones song?

*kisses teeth* Irma Thomas.

It would have been nice to get Barkley back on-loan til May with Bouba out. Harsh on Luton though.

Why do you think Luton would have agreed to that?

[Mister E]

this player is nowhere near ready for this level.

... and yet he could have scored against Luton and SheffU; and should have. He's not ready for the full nine yards that Emery requires but he certainly seems to have the raw material to make good.
As the guy who declared that we'd 'bought a dud' with Bailey, I can absolutely see how UE and his team might make the raw material in Rogers come good - and, when he does we'll have the added bonus of winding up the Bitters even more with our raids on their academy.

He's bound to have chances he's playing with very good players around him. You or I would get chances to score too if we played .

It's a bizarre signing.

He's well known at Academy level, having been at West Brom and then Man City. He has plenty of good attributes. Why is it bizarre?

That is a bizarre assessment. He's been here 5 minutes and he's been thrown in to the engine room through unfortunate injuries. As numerous posters have said on here he's going to be one for the future.

Fuck no!

That useless prick had his chance at a proper club.

Luton is about bus level...

No, to some extent it's the opposite. When you play with very good players you have to be able to perform at their level, which includes runs off the ball, finding space, and linking up, etc. Decent players can suddenly look lost when they are put into a team of players better than them - the test is whether they can adapt to this environment or not.

Now thats a bizarre statement.

Bailey was subbed on and off against Liverpool early in the season so Rogers isn't the first. The fact he played at Ajax isn't that bizarre either given Emery rested a load of regulars and we literally have no one else.

Yeah it's bizarre that we would sign a highly rated 21 year old who has been at Man City and represented his country over 40 times.

I’m just hoping Rodgers doesn’t play tomorrow.
