This kid is special, the skys the limit for him.
He’s only played a handful of games at this level and is already a nailed on starter, in a squad that’s now as strong as ours is.

New contract incoming soon.

This lad is going to be a world beater, mark my words.

Saw a great stat on Twitter, I hope it's true. Completed dribbles in the Champions League this year:

Morgan Rogers - 16
Man City - 14

Yeah but it's all fluff until something happens from it. Love him but love the team more, he's a clog in the team, a beautiful one, absolutely by we need to take the next step. Admittedly it's taken us all, even Unai, by surprise, this wasn't supposed to happen until next season but as we're there, we're brilliantly developing the squad, why not follow the leader and start demanding more?

Of course I understand why, the last 20 odd years have been generally shite with the exception of getting promoted. Pearls to pigs with MON, the tool struggled to win at Villa Park, ffs. Dean restored some pride and we'll always love him for that. Unai has come in, seen his surroundings, sensed the pure love from the Villa fans (nothing like the Tarquins at Arsenal), owners who are supportive, everything clicks into place.

It will be interesting how far Morgan can grow. Right now he should count his lucky stars he's at a club like Aston Villa where as Cashy said, is on the up and with a manager that can help him develop. World beater? I'm a believer but he still has a lot to do. Right now I can't fault his attitude. I look forward to watching his development.

He's done really well, but I agree that he just needs to sharpen that end product to really take that next step. 

I still maintain that if financial restrictions werent an issue and we could add a real top quality number 10 and right sided player to the current squad (say Salah and Bernado Silva), along with a RCB or RB option, we would be genuine title challengers.

I think he's been a better signing than Ross McCormack and I'll happily fight anyone who says otherwise.

Grealish was similar to Rogers when he first broke through. Not enough end product in assists and goals. Once it clicked though he was our talisman. I fully expect Rogers to be the same. He is quite unique in the Prem.

I agree.  He's understandably not quite there yet, but has the potential to be very special.

A real top quality number 10? What, to rotate with Rogers?

It's just a joy in itself to see him get the ball and set off with it, regardless of the wider context of what's going on the game.

He's the definition for me of a player you'd pay to watch.

The way he shifts the ball between his feet, on the turn and then applies the rockets leaving defenders in his wake makes me smile.
He creates chances and space for the team.
A little more composure in front of goal and he will be the finished article.

The game last season at home to Bournemouth did it for me, he absolutely killed them with a number of passes that just split them and set us up with goal scoring chances. He also scored a great goal himself. It reminded me of that one occasion when Coutinho looked like the player that we thought we were getting, at home to Leeds where he annihilated them pretty much single handedly first half.

This season he seems more about carrying the ball, and he's doing that extremely well too. Regarding the comparisons to Grealish, can you imagine Grealish staying on his feet for most of those 16 successful dribbles? Players just bounce off Rogers and he makes a point of protecting the ball whilst ploughing through rather than going down at the first opportunity. I think we'd have a truly world class player and one of the absolute best in the league if he gets to the point where he's doing the dribbling runs and the kind of passes to team mates that we saw in that Bournemouth game continually throughout games, and i think he will. He's still young and doesn't enter his peak years for another year or two, and when he does he's going to be absolutely great.

Gwardee-ola is a boring cvnt. Long may our Morgz reign as a Villan. He takes on half a fucking team in one move.
