I like him in that 'number 10' role.  Think he's far more suited to that than the 'Ramsey' role as he doesn't have to do as much defensive work. 

Saw someone the other day liken him to Stan Collymore in the way he collects and moves with the ball and I can see that.

Stan had that critical burst of acceleration though, Rogers doesn't have it. Rogers does have a lovely weight of pass on him, that was a quality assist the other night. He's a big unit too, no one is getting the ball off him handy especially when he gets turned on it.
I do think he has a big summer ahead in the gym to get to the physical level Emery needs.

Not sure about that, he's big and physical enough, any more and he's going to be too bulky and will lose whatever speed he has. I'd say he needs to work on overall fitness and acceleration.

Yep, if he could find a burst to make him a yard quicker over the first 10 yards, he'd be a beast.  He has everything else he needs already.  A burst of acceleration and some coaching is all he's missing from being a top player at this level.  I do wonder if this is what Monchi/Unai have seen in him, potential-wise.

Is there a way to do the exact opposite of what Gabby did that summer when he discovered body building?

I think he'll be great for us going forward. Really good goal and plenty of forward runs with his height, power and skill. Absolute great piece of transfer business!

I thought he did really well today, made some important tackles and a lovely run and finish for the goal.

Looks like ‘Buck’ Rogers will be a blast in the 21st Century.

Great signing.

I don't think you can single him out for that 15 minute spell when we conceded 3 goals. The whole team switched off in that period of play.  His transition from the championship into the pace and intensity of the Premier League has been very impressive.

I didn't know much about him when he first arrived and was initially underwhelmed, but that was silly and unfair. He's still a kid and had only just arrived.

Having had a chance to see him over a spell of games, I really, really like the look of him. He's got everything he needs in his locker - touch, technique, strength, composure, work rate - and has settled in really quickly and showed bags of maturity. He's going to be an important player for us over the years.

An excellent signing.

He wants the ball, and when he gets it he does some good things. I like him.

One of the bright spots in the team at the moment, he’s been excellent.
