It's funny how times change, people only think about money as being successful. I would have played for Hartlepool/Darlo for free if I'd been good enough, sporting glory over money.

Money in itself is not success, it's how it can change your life. Having financial security for your family is massive, it's only a short career and most players only have a small window of opportunity to gain that security.

I'm sure successful players concentrate on improving their game and succeeding on the pitch. The financial gain, better contracts, etc will naturally follow that. I don't see why you can't have both.

I knew a couple of lads who were good players at non-league level and had offers to turn full-time pro in the lower leagues. They turned it down as they earned more money working full-time and playing part-time. They had families to think of and couldn't take the risk playing full time on a short term 1 or 2 year contract.

Great business by the club Rogers out Azaz in and a good chunk of loot in the bank, I personally think Azaz looks the better player of the two !

Azaz is 2 goals and, I think, an assist ahead of where Rogers was after 5 matches. I'm willing to stand corrected on assists though.

I think we have to at least consider the possibility that we got the better of Villa over these deals. Each club bought one and sold one: maybe we judged this right and they got it wrong? Time will tell.

Anyway, good luck to MR. I'd like to see him do well, and some of the add ons probably relate to appearances. Better luck to Azaz of course.

Rogers didn't score a league goal for us until October 21st?
 
Azaz has a couple of yrs on Roger’s . When Roger’s is 23 he could well be on loan to Plymouth . I’m pleased Azaz has stepped up a few gears .

I fear for Rogers, without any doubt at all he would have been better advised staying with the Boro for a few seasons until he was a properly established player with a track record.

I still say there was something funny about his transfer, maybe something we don’t know about.

The thing is, if he’s offered 1 million plus as a signing on fee then maybe 50k plus a week wages, he’s thinking, it’s worth the gamble, he could stay here and get a career threatening injury next week, that’s probably been a factor in his decision making, especially the huge money on offer and he will be thinking he has nothing to lose.
If he loses some confidence though then that’s a big factor for all these professional players at this level but in his head space, worth a gamble.
