Given that Emery clearly (by the amount he plays) believes he’s our most important player, along with Bouba, I doubt he’ll have any interest in selling him. ‘If’ we have to sell a key player again, after the periphery goes-Malen, Guessand, Elliot, Sancho, possibly Tammy etc, then big Emi would probably be sold first.
So I think it will be down to the player as much as anything. If him and his advisors agitate for a move, it is what it is. Why we’d consider selling to one of our direct rivals for the league next year in Arsenal and Man Utd, I wouldn’t be able to fathom. Why he’d want to go to Chelsea, equally unfathomable.
If it turns out Rogers does want to go, sell him to someone abroad.
Otherwise keep, he’s integral.
