Didiersix Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'm looking forward to seeing what Rogers can do - think he will offer more physicality and maybe release the need for Watkins to drop deep in order to receive the ball. Could alter the shape slightly in a way that will be beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Having a 10 option might help us break down teams. No pressure on the lad, but it’s clear we need a different option behind Ollie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also always seemed to find a goal when you least expect. The creativity he brings is something we miss a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Thing with Buendia was his eye for a great pass, yes, but also his ability to create space for others with his movement. Hope this fella can replicate some of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly Danny Drinkwater was a pretty nice guy in practices and Morgan Sanson also loved handing out water bottles when he was subbed during matches 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that one will never be paid out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Good to see we negotiated pretty well, according to the ITK tier 1 jouro's 3 bids, two more third bids and then 2 final bids and still didn't taken to the cleaners on the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City took a hit selling him for £1.5m. A PL team chasing Europe would likely have had to pay more for him than a Championship team with a big sell on clause paid. He must be coming down from Middlesbrough on a tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
