Awful signing, way overpriced and not good enough.

Haha!!

The whole point of doing both comments one after the other!

Anyway.......

Hopefully better than Jordan Bowery.

Emery sees something in him so thats me sold.

Agreed, between Emery and the scouts they are clearly seeing something in Rogers that they didn't maybe see in Archer, Philogene or Aaron Ramsey. What they have seen isn't backed up by stats really or views from Boro fans. On the face of it Boro have played us well here and likely got a better deal than what's he's worth. It makes no sense why we let Azaz go to Boro a few weeks before this deal. I think we likely have paid a penalty for that by a few million.

What we are getting is a physical unit capable of playing across the front line with a tidy first touch. The worry for me is that he doesn't seem particularly quick or mobile and I don't really see him getting regular minutes straight away. If Watkins get injured then maybe but otherwise he's up against Diaby, Zaniolo and Bailey for minutes. Maybe in time he could complete with JJ for a spot on left but from my very limited viewings of him that's going to be a stretch this season.

I think this is a positive move and encouraging.
A Villa fan and very promising player.

Jury still out.

It’s as disappointing as it is expected.

I will say it again, our most important member of staff is Unai.
While we have him, players will come and go but we we always improve.

I’m massively excited about how Unai now FINALLY gets the opportunity to move the squad on and build it in his image.

I said after the Tielemans sale that it opens up a lot of potentially exciting avenues, this opens up even more. I'm hoping Unai sees it that way rather than a negative that they've gone.

Is that Romano? Christ! What a bellend. He hasn’t a clue.

Me too. We really struggled through large parts of last season and I feel like Emery dragged us through it. Looking forward to seeing what the squad looks like at the end of the window.

What do you mean, it was a top secret, tactical mission that Morgan had to show a light, preferably of green colour.

Really disappointing news.

From the man who regularly gave him 5’s.

And 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s. Were you one of those that cheered him completing a pass?

That's my take on it.  Disappointed to see Rogers go, but pretty optimistic about the next team that Emery is going to build.

Let's not do this.

[Smirker]

Glad it's sorted.

I can deal with this.

Thanks for everything Morgan.

Many undodgeable moments.
