Maybe we're hoping Morgan will outshine Bellingham and prompt Perez to spaff out for the new star of the moment. Surely we don't want to sell him to a domestic rival.

Sounds like they do want to sell Rogers then but realise the market isn't out there for £100mil to be spent on him.

There's talk that Bayern Munich are interested.

Hopefully what money we will be able to spend will be spent better than last summer under Monchi.
Unai has done miracles with the squad.

Unai Emery & Nassef Sawiris will now plot a summer overhaul of the squad, with as many as 4 new players targeted & question marks over the futures of some of the club’s Europa League winners.
@JPercyTelegraph


4 seems light given outgoings, unless he means we’ll have net 4 additional first team quality players.

He'd do well there, and that would be fine.

There's increasingly talk in various articles of Rogers going.  Makes you wonder who is whispering whose ear.

The Athletic article mentioned that Unai persuading Morgan to give us one more season. So it seems the whisperings have been happening for awhile.

It will be the club’s finance team shouting, not whispering, that we absolutely have to make a big sale, and that he’s the prime/only candidate.

@JPercyTelegraph



I thought it would be more than that but we will see

Given the average age of the squad, we probably need to be replacing 3 first teamers a year, for the next three windows.  Four this summer would put us ahead of schedule, so I'll be surprised if they're all genuine first-team regulars.

Yes, it’s doing the rounds that Rogers is very much part of next season plans.
I think the fact that he has just bagged his first medal could play a big part.
It would be interesting to think what Emerys priority will be next season.

The story was for last summer that he persuaded that extra season which has just finished. Hopefully Morgz decides he likes it here now we have won something AND we are back in the CL but who knows.

Nope, this is about next season.

Rashford (if he takes a pay cut), Wilson, Senesi, replacing Sancho, Bailey and Mings.  The perenial search for a deputy RB.  Trafford in for Martinez?  Or will the flash lad stay for another round of the Big Cup? 

Bailey, Mings, Garcia, Ned, Barranecha, Guessand, Barkley, Malen, Dobbin, SIJ, Barry, Munroe, Gauci and many more of that ilk to generate some income.  Onana is the big sale for me, he doesn't quite fit the system, being neither an attacking nor defensive midfielder, we look so much better balanced wih Linde in the midfield and hopefully Kamara can stay fit.  Lamare Bogarde, but I think Emery appreciates his versatility.

That's a lot of incomings just to tread water.

Hopefully Broggio will be on the fringes next season, is Hemmings good enough?
