Morgan Rogers

In the summer he's going to want the sort of wages we won't be able to pay.

He just signed a 5 year contract.

He has always struck me as he will use us as a stepping stone player rather than anyone particularly committed long term.  I would say he has already been tapped up and I have a horrible feeling he is going to replace the rat at Manure.

Im not so sure.  He was nothing until he came to Unai, so I expect there will be some loyalty to him.  Having said that agents are ******, and his has clearly pit the word out

Like pretty much every player in existence would?

 Not really.  SJM, Mings, Watkins, Digne all perfect examples of the opposite.

I think Rogers will struggle after a big money move.  He has credit in the bank with us and is, relatively speaking, ignored by the media. 

That will quickly change if he’s a £100m player and at a “Man U”.  He’ll be torn to shreds when he has one of these bad runs; and the risk is he’d never recover.

I’m not condoning selling him but I’m pretty confident the villa version of Rogers will be his best version.

Easy to stay at a club when no one further up the food chain is trying to buy you and give you more money and trophies.

There's a lot of supposition on this thread.

Well we didn't create much after he went off.

Other than the easiest chance of the match with a magnificent reverse tap by Emi

From my understanding of the financial stuff - it seems pretty much impossible hell be here next season.  I agree with Dante - this will likely be his peak - a bit like grealish. 

But - that seems to be the main point of modern football - do what will create the most clicks.   Everything is working exactly as it should - hell leave us and Man Utd (or whoever) will be no better - he'll probably not hit the heights everyone expects now he is at an "elite" club.  We'll get worse - and have to spend another summer trying to juggle impossible finances. 

All the time Man Utd and Chelsea have finances way worse than us by most measure but will drop millons. 

But Morgz to Man Utd - think of all of the hours sky will be able to dedicate to this.

Morgan is a high risk creator therefore his 4 out of 5 passes are going to look awful but the one that breaks through is usually a goal. Players like that are priceless.

And his last season was better than this season...so far.

Morgan Rogers is 23. Jack was essentially 26 when joined Man City. Rogers has a number of years to continue to improve. He's been playing at the top level for less than 18 months. He's had a meteoric rise. It should be expected he has some ups and downs as his career for us and for England evolves. He started so fast so our expectations got elevated probably too high. But when you look at experienced players like Asensio last year he was scoring at a crazy rate and it tailed off. I'm sure Morgan Rogers will find his level and it will be a very good one because ultimately he's a very good footballer.

What? No they're not. They're only the 'opposite' because they haven't been in his position. You don't think if Man City came in 2/3 seasons into McGinn's career with us and offered him 200k plus a week that he wouldn't have gone? You really think if Arsenal offered us the 60 mil plus or whatever we wanted for Watkins that he wouldn't have gone? We're a stepping stone for elite players and financial restrictions are ensuring that will continue to remain the case.
