Mhsc 1,102 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago The only way Morgan Rogers is happening is in some kind of swap with NJ surely. Maybe mutually beneficial if he's asking for a move and they're trying to find a good, positive way to deal with it. I would be way more excited about Rogers than any of the other options but tbh any of these players are just going to be squad filler because realistically who are they displacing in the XI in PL games? Wharton is low key a bit of a baller and flying under the radar (as is Anderson at NFO for example, genuine talent that a top club should have gone for by now) as he genuinely is clearly a talented guy, but again its just squad filler, who cares I am gutted we have not fixed the key positions in the XI and spending all our energy on this nonsense instead, its all just noise distracting us from the fact the club have failed to invest yet again in the core spine of the team where PLs are won or lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does he not play the same position as Xavi or Fermín, but he’s someone who Palace would surely demand Baleba money for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,544 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Wharton would mean more than one of the following also happening.. Enzo being sold. They found out Lavia has something career threatening. They plan to use Santos in the 10.(Enzo in the 10 for me is only good as a sort of false 10/defensive 10 against certain teams) It's a bigger stretch than Gladstone Small turning into a Giraffe.

Yeah, Wharton is the kind of midfielder you replace Enzo with if he were ever sold. He’s a pure CM who controls the tempo of the game from deeper. For months now we’ve been told that we want a more advanced, attacking midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,950 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago This is turning into a joke now. They blew the money on Gittens and Garnacho and are looking for cheaper alternatives to Xavi and Lopez. Mugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,544 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Simons by far ticked the most boxes for a fluid 3 behind the CF. I'd prefer Pedro at CF and Estevao at RAM atleast for now as I think CAM would be too much for him so soon but those 2 plus Santos and Enzo depending on the opposition probably better option to fill in than we going to get so late in the window. Plus with Garnacho now we shouldn't need that CAM that can also play LAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh i agree but watch the board try bidding a cheeky £35m plus add ons for him, be rejected and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said all of this before so anyone who has read what I have to say about it before won't miss anything if they dip out here. I see 8 as Rogers optimum position and, given any encouragement by Villa, would certainly attempt to add him to the squad. If signed I would then prefer him over Enzo. For me he matches Enzo's physical attributes and betters our vice captain's technical skills. Even given that Enzo outscored Rogers last season I believe Rogers improves us immediately. Starting with the game at Lincoln, Enso will obviously hope to use the squad team for appropriate domestic cup matches. Beyond that it would make a massive contribution if he can use them against 'pot 4' CL opponents and even, crucially, in some Pl games either side of big CL fixtures. It's been a key help to Pep over the years that he could rotate heavily and still pile up PL points. If we can give Enso that luxury it will be an important step.
