What I meant were vast improvements in players don't really happen past 23 in most cases. Everybody can refuse to believe it, but this is the analysis Brentford found as part of their successful recruitment model which took the absolute **** out of the english football leaue pyramid. Eg if a player isnt world class at 24 they are highly unlikely to be world class at 29. There is small gradual improvement to peak correct, usually. I was on about transformation as a player and vast gains. Rogers isn't likely to improve vastly as a footballer at this point so we can sell with confidence as he is near his football ability ceiling.
I'm not the one posting baseless nonsense. The facts are he's under contract so we are under no obligation to release him from that for less than we see as adequate compensation, if he threw a strop then yes, that value may be lowered, but the lad has shown absolutely no sign of being that kind of character, quite the opposite really. That's a very different 'opinion' to what the previous poster wrote, so lets stop with the false equivalences.....I'm not surprised this was the response.
Maybe, or maybe the reporter is using a bit of poetic license rather than reporting facts, maybe this is the agent trying to unsettle things, who knows, I don't think an uncorroborated throw away comment in the press is proof of much, I'm not naive enough to think this is an absolute no go-er.....but it is at this reported 4m, it's simply not worth it from our perspective, even if he has his heart set on it, which seems pretty unlikely.
hes an intelligent articulate guy far brighter than most footballers lets hope he realises he can develop best under carrick. He has time on his hands to become a Premier league player
I would say there is an at best 1% chance of him ever playing for England. He would have to improve massively, really massively, to be anywhere near. The players in the sort of position he plays are way beyond him. I like him and think he has some talent but he's never struck me as a player that is playing below his level. I am quite frankly shocked that Villa want him but I'd be far more shocked that he would get anywhere near an international call. He's never even played for the U21s and he's going to be too old for that soon.
love it. The song and the reply.
I make my own judgement in when ive seen both ramsey and Rodgers play alot of those big teams make mistakes when buying young players just we don't here about it
Completely agree, there would be no point in selling him now and loaning him back, why not let us have the player with the steadily increasing potential and value, it would be a total con to do that.
