Morgan Rogers - f**king off to Chelsea

[N'ZMAV]

Going to Chelsea isn't the smartest move, but as long as we get all that money then that's Rogers problem. Fuck him.

We don't. 20% of the profit goes to Boro.

Fair play to Boro, smart move.

Rogers has been a Chelsea target for more than two years, although the move coming now is something of a surprise given the club's 10th-placed Premier League finish last season.

Should have signed him from Boro then you daft plastic twats.

BBC.

Thank you.

I work it out that middlesvilla get £20.4m.  Then we will have to pay CGT.

All our players are replaceable with some astute recruitment apart from Martinez and Kamara we haven’t got a hope in hell of bringing in the same quality for that pair never mind upgrading

Maybe also McGinn as he is so unique

🚨 NEW: It is understood the deal for Morgan Rogers was negotiated directly between Behdad Eghbali, Chelsea’s co-owner, & his Villa counterpart Nassef Sawiris. Boro are set to land a huge £15m windfall after negotiating a sell-on clause.

Okay so it wasn't 20%

Funny to think how many thought we were on crack paying 8m (plus add ons) for him two and a half years ago.

Better investment than Bitcoin

[frank black]

lets get Morgan Gibbs-White in and bank £50mil

How come he’s going cheap?

Forest accepted £60mil for him from Spurs last year

You can safely say that he’ll be north of £100mil, unless there’s a clause

[Mister E]

Okay so it wasn't 20%

maybe the 20% was capped at £15m ...

[manic-road]

That one has come out of the blue, didn't expect him to go to Chelsea. He will be on bigger wages and playing way less games next season.

I think it's what we need to strengthen the squad.

There were plenty at the time, but this is the funniest
