Sell Rogers 12.5m

The fee will be undisclosed wont it. I have no doubt that Gibson will get what he wants though, whatever that is. Rogers is contributing more and more each game so his value is only going up. If he kicks his toys out of the pram he gets dropped and we end up paying 5k/ week wages. I cant see that happening though as he seems to be enjoying life.

Would be stupid of him to wreck his career by throwing his toys out the pram.

He doesn't come across as a spoilt brat so I can't see him reacting in that way.
 
It's a weird one. Someone is leaking stuff to journalists that Villa are 'confident' and the player 'wants the move'. Either it's Villa and/or Roger's camp trying to railroad us into it, or all parties realise the move will happen and we are just agreeing the final fee.

Talking about getting Villa players in return, we've already got one in Azaz. Could it be that that was actually part of the same deal but we asked to keep Rogers until after we got knocked out the cup (and also to reduce the amount we need to pass on to Man City)?

What the situation, I agree with the above, we don't need to sell, he has a long contract and January is a difficult market so if Villa are going to get their way now then they need to be paying a premium for it.

possible, but unlikely as a fee hasn't been agreed

Surely a fee would have been agreed for Rogers before Villa accepted the Azaz offer if the two deals were linked?

Sorry, judt saw same answer above.
 
You're probably right. Just can't understand why Villa would recall Azaz from his loan so quickly and then sell him to us with minimal haggling over a fee and then a week later one of our players is their 'top target'.

Difficult to understand Villa’s thinking. If Rogers is their top target, why they didn’t hold off a couple of weeks selling us Azaz is odd.

I doubt it, cause otherwise why would they start bidding days before that game and risk p*ssing us off ahead of trying to focus on a massive game.
 
If we don't sell, we should probably give him a pay rise to reflect his progress. Might keep him a bit happier and we can sell in the future for the right fee, not any old amount.

Because he was out of contract in the summer and they wanted the money to give some further FFP headroom. Plus they obviously thought it was a good price.

Agree, it doesn’t add up on a number of fronts. Very odd.

Villa must also know Gibson’s low estimation of player tapping and yet this would appear to be text book unsettling of a player.
 
I honestly think it’s about Cole palmer as well as they’ve seen the impact the Man City youngster has had and Morgan was his team mate so they think he has that potential.

I would imagine the deal for Azaz was negotiated a good few weeks, if not months before we actually signed him or Villa had identified Rogers as their main target.
