CarryOnVilla Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 picking back up on picking players out of the championship… out of the last England call up. Only Foden, Lewis, Mainoo, Palmer, Rashford and Rice never played lower than the Premier League. The 17 other players have at least a season in the championship or below. There’s always been talent there and seems like Rogers, is just that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DJBOB Posted April 15 Popular Post Share Posted April 15 There are things he admitted that has let him down while he was in the lower leagues. Commitment, discipline, fitting within the system. But the first touch and vision cannot always be taught. To go away to Arsenal and put on the display he did, being the main link between midfield and attack and to put in very hard running as an almost box to box midfielder - was genuinely impressive. I think Unai likes to pick these types of players too. Not the wunderkind who is tracked by all clubs but players of a certain humbleness. Pau, Diaby, and now Rogers are all of a similar ilk. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 He’s shown enough in his performance up until now that he’s going to be a great player for us. Yesterday was his best yet. He’s getting used to being premier league fit and next season he will add more to his game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STO Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I'd like to see what his valuation is now. Dwarfs whatever it is we agreed to pay Middlesbrough. Fantastic player and really suits our play. Can cover several positions. Turning into a crowd favourite. Only 21!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Have to admit, first couple of games he looked like Ramsey but not as good. He’s certainly changed my mind last 3-4 games. Reminded me more of Buendia than Ramsey recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 the only positive of ramsey injury is rogers development. Surely he is far more ahead in his development than emery would have expected at this stage. He wasn't even starting all the time for middlesborough. He is going to be a key player for us next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I was totally wrong about this signing. The kid can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleVilla Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I saw him against Wolves from the Trinity. He gave away a few passes and looked like he was struggling a little. But I think was more being on the same wavelength as the rest of the team. He then made a couple crazy runs with the ball. Fighting off players and eventually getting fouled because that's the only way they could stop him. Since then he's looked like he's gone up a gear or two. Seems to be settling in nicely now and yesterday he looked the best I've seen him yet. Reminds me of Ramsey in his ball carrying. Looks a very good signing, and exactly the sort the owners have been talking about. Looks like a bargain the way he's been playing the last few matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MWARLEY2 Posted April 15 Popular Post Share Posted April 15 (edited) Playing longer and longer with every game. It seems Emery is making him reach into his reserves of energy to get him truly match fit. And it is totally deserved. He has huge ability as well as the build to become a monster. Calling it now. He will become a huge star with us. His improvement in what is it 10 weeks has been so big that i think he is nowhere near his ceiling. You can play him and get the best attributes of both JJ and Buendia in the one player. Edited April 15 by MWARLEY2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 He’s just settled in really well hasn’t he? Looks a Villa player already, some of his showings have been a bit iffy but that’s been in line with team performances during that time, he’s drifted out of matches but I thought it was an incredibly mature performance yesterday. The early indications on this one is that we’ve done well, fingers crossed he’s got another few levels in him for Unai to unlock because on top of what we’ve seen so far, plus his raw attributes, any improvement would see him become a real player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us it was steal. Who knows how good he'll be but could be worth upwards of 50m next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some on here were saying we should move on when they wanted 15m We weren't trying to sign because he's average, he was clearly viewed as having huge potential which we're getting glimpses of already.

Talldarkandransome Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 He looks so comfortable on the ball, only seems to lose it when he's fouled. Good balance and pace, will be even better next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got in there very early. Imagine if we signed this summer would have been twice the price I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it helps that he's a local lad, he has a full support network around him and will be settled from the off. Emery as eluded to this in some of he comments on other players having to adapt to a new country and league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
