Wrong thread, they are EFL now

Agree though, side before self there.
I know mate.
But Bowen is a Premier League footballer, who will no doubt be back in the PL in 2027.

They have already sold 132M in players so far, adding 119M in players (Palastra, Quenda, Denner) so Rodgers takes them to a net 100M spend.. so far.

Crazy. I know it is a slightly different position he plays but is he even as good as Gruev?

Are you comparing Rogers with Gruev ?

Yeah like I say slightly different positions but Morgan doesn't have the defensive nous that Gruev has. £117m for Morgan is more obscene than Jaydog at a Shepherds & Dildoes party.

He's a decent player Rodgers, same as Anderson.
What they aren't are World Class.
What they also are is now technically 2 of the top 5 most expensive footballers of all time
Proof if ever it was needed how broken the transfers in this country are.

Well said sir. It is rare that you talk sense but on this occasion you have certainly nailed it. If I had a cookie I'd be tempted to take a photo of it - though I wouldn't as it would be sheer madness on my part and therw ould be little point to it.

I'm still stunned by the amount of the fee for what he is just a very good footballer, nothing more!

Not wanting to nick one of Victors favourite lines, but you are comparing 11goal, 8 assists Rogers with 0 goals and 4 assists Gruev (and that’s just last season)
Is there something wrong with your brain?

Jeez! Can't blame Villa taking that kind of money for a player that didn't exactly have a remarkable or outstanding season with them last season and didn't pull up any trees when he eventually made it onto the pitch at the World Cup. Seems a fee that is circa £50m more than it should be!
Rogers has a contract with Villa until 2030 - what a waste of paper
