Patience my friend, he’s on his way (actual footage below). The M1 etc can be a cruel mistress, especially on horse and cart. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted January 31 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31 Decent article "Just six months on from signing for Middlesbrough for £1m, Morgan Rogers is heading back to the Premier League for 16 times that amount. We take a look a why Aston Villa have decided to splash out on him." What Have Aston Villa Seen in £16m Morgan Rogers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that one will never be paid out. He's the new Diaby. Diaby is dead, long live new Diaby. *2 months later * "Rogers shit mate. Bin him off." The sad thing is i can predict who will be saying it too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 We can't afford to carry players anymore pushing for trophies, here's hoping if he has been brought in to be a first teamer, he can have some big input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever notice how it’s only black players who seem to have bad attitudes and are hard to manage? Thanks Big Ron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything11 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 8 hours ago, DJBOB said: I think he might end up playing a bigger role this season than many think. His ability to be a mobile midfield option or a replacement for Diaby at the 10 position might be the key to breaking us out of the high press that teams have used to stifle us until they get ahead. Agreed. Back to goal and link up play are things he appears to excel at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 You imagine how happy this kid must be signing for the team he grew up supporting. I really hope he hits the ground running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate but this is a massive reach and bait attempt. Were Pogba and Balotelli only picked on because they are black? I'm pretty sure we could find multiple examples of players who aren't black who have been described as having bad attitudes and difficult to Manage. The player just happens to be black. If the player happens to be black ( Which ALOT of players are ) and has a bad attitude are people supposed to be scared to express opinion on them? ( Within reason and constructive of course ) These kind of things turn us ( Black Folks ) into " the boy who cried wolf " whenever there are ACTUAL race related issues for concern. As an example: 15 Footballing Talents with the Worst Attitudes There are 6 black players in that list, and a mixture of white players and a couple of Arabs. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/1120183-15-footballing-talents-with-the-worst-attitudes.amp.html Edited January 31 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieVillan Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Tempted to say he should start on Saturday, especially if Bailey isn’t fit to start. It might feel desperate, but we need something to ignite us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 He's signed, probably spending 24 hours coming up with some fancy video to accounce it. God I hate social media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
