Morgan Rogers - PFA Young Player of the Year 24/25

Hopefully Rogers will be moved centrally or on the left for the final 4 games. Much more effective than on the right.

Rogers and Palmer doing the "cold" celebration in harmony...yuck.

Don’t think there’s a chance of that. I reckon he’s arguably the last player Unai would want to sell.

Agreed, but it might not be that simple. If it comes down to a choice between selling half the midfield and the goalie or selling Rogers, it might be deemed less disruptive to lose just the one. Especially if he has faith in Asensio and he wants to stay.

Don't think so.

Rogers has the ability to turn and drive through defences. This is a big part of our game.

The fact that teams have worked this out and nullified it to a certain extent will soon be resolved, if I am any judge.

I wasn't suggesting Rogers is no good. Quite the opposite, which is why he'd go for big money (if he were to go).

Chelsea targeting Morgan Rogers for summer.

Aston Villa obviously don’t want to sell but there’s a feeling in football that PSR “churn” is going to force clubs into transfer decisions they wouldn’t otherwise make

The only way he is going there is if they lose Palmer to the churn as well.

I don't think Palmer would help out much with PSR. He has had apoor second half of season

[Dave]

If they put him up for sale they'd still double their money on him, easily.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah and some I suspect.

Whilst I've no idea if the story has any legs, I guess we are going to have to get used to losing at least one player a year we want to keep.

i think we will be like Leicester of 7 or 8 years ago. And Brighton more recently.

Stupid money to help with PSR.

So one of Emi, Kamara, Youri, Ollie quite likely to be gone in the summer when you are looking at base sums. We need Onana to have 4 Worldie games so he looks like a 100m player not a 10m one.   

I'd imagine Digne will be off due to wages.

Depends which Euro league we're playing in too I suppose. Rogers and Tielemans (closely followed by McGinn and Watkins) are our most important players.  McGinnn's next move is probably 'downwards'.  All of the others will be in demand if we end up 7th but I'd back us to keep them for different reasons.  Having said that, I don't expect Rogers to be here long term if his career keeps falling the same trajectory.

I suspect the £70m for Duran probably sees us pretty safe from a major sale this summer, with £80/90m of additional CL money to go into the next accounts.

Yes, we're better insulated this year from a financial perspective you'd have thought.

I don't think we'd have spent £20m+ on Malen if we could see PSR problems in 6 months time. Another loan might have sufficed.

[AV82EC]

I’m envisaging the following scenario from the back of the fag packet I’ve just written this on….

No Europe - 2 major sales
conf League - 1 major sale and an additional “swap” transfer for PSR/SCR
Europa League - 1 major sale
Champions League - no sales.

However if we do end up in Conf League or no Europe there is a benefit to be had of potentially better domestic League income due to a potentially better PL season so a bit swings and roundabouts.
