Villa bid for Morgan Rogers

[Diego]

You wait till the summer when the price might be higher? You also access your squad and see where the club is and what's needed. What the interest in your players is and make a decision. If we don't have a need to sell this minute and we think we could get more in the summer then you keep it.

Also have to factor in could he play a part in helping us achieve our goals. And I think he could. He’s coming into his own.

You leave Rodgers out of it, he's my player and always gets a rise from the spelling police.

Apologies. Although I’ve graded you D for your spelling.

It might be higher, might be lower. Might no interest because they've moved on to other targets.

It might mean we need to take what we can get for Hackney because we need the money.

We will probably be selling Hackney either way. I think we can all see clubs being interested in him in the summer.

Agree

I say this on every thread about transfers but why oh why do we have fans who cannot wait to give our players away for buttons? I don't get it? At all.

Rodgers obviously has quality and looks a future Prem player. At the moment he is not the finished product and I am surprised that Villa are so keen on him at this stage.

What do you class as buttons for Rogers?

 

[Cousin_of_Fabio]

He'll go I think it's merely a question of how much for and when as we'll need options up top before the end of the window.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

What do you class as buttons for Rogers?

£1.5m paid by us, 6 months of up and down performances and we want a minimum of £15m.

Very good business. Man City fans will be all over this

 

[Quicksilvera]

His head has been turned, get as much as we can for him, simple

This isn’t an episode of love island mate.

 

[Rofesleg]

I did say that in the first line of my post

True. The first line must have been overwhelmed by the rest of the post

 

[Rofesleg]

I was talking with a leading national sports journalist a week ago

How is Craig?

Not really when City have a big sell on clause

Someone has mentioned about 5 mill? May as well say a lion bar, twix and a bag of footballs.

How big?

 

[atypical_boro]

Back on the old board 550+ replies was almost unheard of!

 

[The Card Cheat]

What do you class as buttons for Rogers?

What we've been offered, in the current market.
Alex Scott went for £25 million to a much smaller club than Villa. They spent that much mainly because of potential, whether Rogers has similar potential to Scott I'm don't actually know, but it does give you an idea of what players in Rogers position can go for.

 

[Glover_elbow]

Is there any rules regarding sell on clauses ie maximum percentage, no of clubs involved etc

 

[B_G]

So one fan and I'm pretty sure it was said in jest.
And even 5mil for a player we paid £1.5mil for 6 months ago could barely be considered buttons...

I would counter your initial post with why do the vast majority of our fans think that Boro are in a position to demand transfer fees for twice their actual worth?

On fringes of the starting 11 for a mid-table Championship team.
