Saw some bollox that Chelsea have slapped a 200 million quid price tag on Cole Palmer to fend off interest from Man U and other clubs.
So that's like, what, 600 million for our Morgan?

No. Rogers isn't three times as good/valuable as Palmer and Chelsea aren't as desperate for income as we are.

Emi2’s best position is as an angry impact sun

Some people on here want the moon on a stick.
When he's on form, I reckon he's one of our star players


I think in the form he was in earlier this season he would be. But I think that’s a level above good form for him, I suspect it was a bit of an exceptional freak period. He was brilliant but I wouldn’t be surprised if he never hits those heights again. I think in terms of reasonable expectation of him, good form gets him to be a useful squad player.

Yep. Buendia, like Bailey, is all about confidence. When things are going well he can look a really useful player but as soon as the mistakes drift in he falls apart. That's the difference between players like them and the likes of Rogers, McGinn and Watkins (and Sancho recently), who also give the ball away cheaply at times but all 3 of them you can trust to keep going and try to make amends.

If you're having a bad day then you at least need to fall back on the basics and do a job, Buendia often goes the other way and starts trying to do ever more complicated things and gets more and more frustrated as things don't go his way.

Ok, they can have home for £500m then.
