The thing with all these comments is that I don't think anyone is wrong.

It's all going to come down to what Rogers and Emery want, and then potentially how much one of a small number of clubs is prepared to offer.

Added Eze and Madueke whilst keeping Trossard and Martinelli and can also play Havertz in the SS/10 roles as well. So yes can't see the major need there.

Maybe the Man U and Liverpool players at the World Cup will turn his head with all the medals they've won this season?

There's only Mainoo from those teams.  Maybe this will be the difference.  Villa's opportunity to tap up some players.

I dont think Rogers is going. If he does I'd want MGW as his replacement.

I’m in the he’s off camp. There’s a reason why he doesn’t get the loudest songs from us supporters, never really warmed to him and I suspect he sees us as part of the journey rather than the destination.

Hope he stays, but I assume if he’s off the fee will need to be substantial, I believe there’s a sell on clause to pay out too?

Wouldn’t get much change out of that transaction. But , yes he’d be a more than adequate replacement

I don't think there's quite the fan connection with him that is with so many other players. It's more admiration and love for ability rather than him.

I've thought for ages that he'll be sold this summer and I still think he will.  I just hope it's to Bayern or PSG, rather than the usual suspects, and that we get somebody equally as good but for much less money (sounds simple, but obvs is mega hard).

Well, if Anthony Gordon goes to Barcelona maybe Bayern will look to Rogers, and we can get in Rashford (and someone else).

I'd absolutely hate to lose Rogers, I for one sure as shit warmed to him (!), but we're in this position aren't we? Gotta make the best of it.

The new Super John McGinn

Why are there no links to him?

Because he's not good enough, yet. The rumour is Brentford with potential for a loan back to Sheffield United.

Fucking hell. I've gone from feeling on top of the world to worrying about Rogers leaving in the space of 24 hours. Ronan Keating had a point, after all.

However, there was never any point to Ronan Keating.

He ain't going and if he does it'll be for a king's ransom. No worries.

If we'd not made CL and we were scraping around for 60m to keep the lights on that'd have been worth worrying about!
