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 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.
Oh I agree - but I think his development risks fall off if he when he somewhere else.  Might be wrong - but how often have we seen it.  Like you say he has age on his side of course.

He might be first player I know of to move somewhere to play less football the way Unai flogs him.

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.

Not that I want him to go but I feel similarly. The grass isn’t always greener, we fit him and he fits us, there’s quite a few recent examples of big money moves, £100m + transfers, not particularly working out.
