He is unique player with his strength and skill. He can only be stopped by fouling when in full flight. He can score from outside the box and as a poacher (against Freiburg for example). Some of his assists are sublime. He has games when it's hard to believe he can be so bad. He was shocking against Burnley but brilliant against Liverpool and Freiburg. But even in his bad games he never stops running and pressing, and you know there's a chance something special might happen.
If he can keep up his phenomenal fitness levels and cut out those poor performances he really could be the best player in the world in a couple of years.

So if we sold him now we wouldn't get his true value even if we were offered £120m. He wants to play every game and does at Villa. He is rarely subbed even in the last few minutes of a game. Would a club that can afford him give him the chance to play all the time? I feel sure his form would suffer quite badly if he was rotated or being used as a sub.

Better for him and us if he stays. He's gone from being an average Championship player to a probable World Cup starter, a Champions League star and player of the season in Europa League. The genius that is Guardiola didn't see the talent; Unai did.



Agree with all of this, but the first four words are the most important.  He is unique, both in what he does, and how he does it, and isn't comparable to another player in the league.  Replacing him is not possible, in the same way replacing Grealish wasn't.  I hope we don't have to.

While I'm sure he has enormous love and respect for Unai, I'd imagine he largely attributes his success to his own efforts (as he should). He wouldn't be worried about getting minutes at PSG/Bayern etc.

Rogers is better than Grealish, has scored more and assisted more and now won more, why would we sell him for the same fee?  If anyone wants one of the best young players in the country, one of the best English players, selling for 100m is well below what I'd want for him.  Unless we absolutely need to sell someone because of PSR, the figure is a lot higher than that.

I've mentioned before but he is often towards the top of the running stats as well. He really puts in a shift which you don't associate as much with the sort of player he is.
