Arogent and overrated. Take the £100 million.

Absolute nonsense.

Indeed. Anyone who has watched Rogers over a period of time will realise he’s really good and has been central to a lot of best play. He might be going through a form dip, but he’s excellent and that’s also why he draws interest from other clubs.

We might come out of this ok, and we might need to do it, but selling him is not a positive. Anyone saying it is is probably doing the psychological defence thing.
It amazes me with all the "so called" poor signings we've apparently made in the Emery era, not my view by the way, a player as good as Rogers, who can be outstanding and a real game changer is so easily cast aside by some.

In form which has been very frequent he's a joy to watch.

If he’s off, he’s off. Both the club and him have benefited over the last few years. Great player on his day, carried us over the November December January period attacking wise anyway.

If there’s the fabled “bidding war” you’d hope we get £100 mill plus. Good business for the “wrong” Morgan from Middlesbrough.

Don't know what CL clubs have that kind of money to spend on a single player, in the PL anyway. Salah is off but Liverpool are over stacked in Rogers position anyway, plus won't be in CL. Man United will have freed up wage bill dumping likes of Casemiro, Sancho, Rashford probably, are they able to spend 100m on a single player? Man City have only just bought Semenyo, lots of competition in Rogers position. Same for Arsenal. Real Madrid, PSG talk is fanciful at best.

Think it depends on June / July. If he shines and England do well then I think he'll be one of those shiny things that a rich club just decides that they want because he's shiny.

If he doesn't, then I also don't see anyone who can afford him needing to add him to what they already have.

Was hoping the extended break would have done him good but evidently not. Any other player would be dropped for Forest.

First time where his attitude looked questionable I thought.  He gives the ball away a lot during most games, but tonight was the first time I've seen it accompanied with no real effort to get it back.  He did pick up a bit in the closing stages and worked back a couple of times, but I thought he had a poor game overall.

You must have missed his 60 yard chase to get the ball back having cheaply lost it. He never managed to get it back but the effort was certainly there.

He is being targeted by opposition teams, with the injury hit line up we have been fielding he is the one player you need to stop because there has been little threat from elsewhere. Also he has been getting no help from referees who are allowing physical assault as a method of tackling.
He plays pretty much every minute of every game and sometimes he does look fatigued.

I have seen a few interviews with Morgan, and one thing the he does not come across as is arrogant.

If you watch the Unai Emery special on Sky Sports, Morgan comes across as level headed and appreciative of what Unai has done for him.

I don’t think he played all that well last night, but he is a 23 year old who has played the most minutes for us all season. Add his England games in and he probably needs a rest.

Some people are far too quick to criticise
