Rogers will be off. Bayern or PSG hopefully.

Rogers is not the type who wants to take his turn sitting on the bench. Loves his football too much. Unai knows this.

It was Chelsea before they fell apart, then Man Utd, this week it's abroad.

Truth is none of the twats have a clue one way or another.

If Rogers goes to one of the big clubs like PSG, Bayern or even Arsenal, when he hits his twice a year dip, he'll find it a lot harder to get back into form than he would here. He'll end up playing half the amount of football he does here.

I'd prefer him to stay, have a great World Cup & we sell a load of shirts to foreigners. If we want to increase our global business we need to keep the likes of Rogers.

Unless Emery thinks he's peaked & now is the time to cash in.

He’s not peaked.

I get the optics of selling your best players and I’d rather keep Rogers but everyone has got their price. If we were offered silly money, around £90m and upwards I think we’d bite. He’s still developing and could go onto be a world beater, I’d be reluctant to think that he would at another club because of the reasons mentioned.
The key thing is getting a replacement in. Whether we’d want to spend so much on a single player is up for debate but Gibbs White has shown great consistency over a number of seasons, gets plenty of goals and assists  and works bloody hard.

^^^ MGW would cost £60m, so we’re left with £30m to improve the team or pay off the FFP gods. It barely seems worth it.

Somehow we need to blood more youngster so when they’re sold they sell for £30m rather than our current success - and it is successful - rate of selling between £10-£20m.

MGW £60 million on a 5 year contract is £12 million a year.

People say £90m is silly money. I disagree. £90m is minimum. Have you seen what price other players in his position at his level have gone for? £130m is silly money. Numbers in between are realistic.

Agreed. £90m is peanuts when you have to give Boro 20%. £129m is a number in between.

I’d love us sign a player like MGB or Bruno Guimarães. Both excellent footballers, an eye for goal, gritty, tenacious, battle and wind up the opposition. We could do with some of that!

We’ve got one in goal but could do with that in the middle of midfield, would be a massive upgrade on Buendia, who I really like and has been exceptional this season, but if we’re trying to keep progressing that’s wha we need.

I did say that he’d cost a lot of money but you’d think he could rock up and slot straight in with no drop off and possibly offer greater consistency, relatively young so plenty of longevity as well.

How likely is it to find a player, probably from abroad for £20-£30m that would have the same instant impact.

South American players who’ve never kicked a ball in Europe are making the switch for £40m +

Indeed.  Yanited paid £80 million + on the likes of Harry Maguire, Anthony and Sancho.   Idiot tax should def apply to them if they're interested in any serious way.

Chelsea spunked £100+ on Caicedo and Fernandez.

We took £100 million for Grealish six years ago. £120 mill + or no dice.

Yeah, if we can afford him and he's interested I can't really think of a player who would instantly fit into the way we play better than he would.

You have players who never let you down and always deliver goals etc. The absolute elite. They rarely move clubs, but would go for £150m to £200m now, if at their peak. Rogers is in the next bracket down.

We set the price and it has to be Wirtz money. Premier League proven and they'll all want him. 90m is pathetic in this market.

However we do it we need two or three quality players in the summer.
