🚨 BREAKING: Manchester City strike agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign Elliot Anderson. #MCFC made 23yo #NFFC midfielder primary target to bolster this summer & now done deal, subject to #England international finalising personal terms @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/VdCgmbb0Kf
@avfc_fc@villa946@Villa_Verse Yeah, because my question is aimed at people who justify 100m+ via his footballing ability rather than the state of the market, are you really saying that this talking point is beyond you? You are the only person in this conversation that has failed to grasp it so spectacularly
@avfc_fc@villa946@Villa_Verse …? It’s a hypothetical scenario, and instead of engaging with it, your response is just ‘but that’s not *REALLY* the case!’ Are you serious?
@talentidhub@DeadAFC@cryptiicphantom Why didn’t they? Is it purely coincidence that Dowman, Skelly, Nwaneri and Salmon all broke through within 15 months of each other? Why does it perfectly coincide with the stability we gained following the 23/24 season? You’re smarter than this
@b_z_p1@villa946@Villa_Verse The state of the market right now isn’t fair though, and I think everyone can agree on that. If players like Anderson are going for 130 then it’s more than fair to ask 100 of Rogers, but that’s not my question
@SC__AV@b_z_p1@villa946@Villa_Verse Not to me, hence the question. What boxes does Rogers tick to justify 100m, beyond the state of the market? You can reference Elliott Anderson etc. but that’s just a refusal to engage with my question. What makes him 100m? His ability? Other players? There’s no consensus
@avfc_fc@villa946@Villa_Verse And that’s not the hypothetical situation that was put forward, so if you don’t have anything of value to add towards my reply then why bother saying anything?
@b_z_p1@villa946@Villa_Verse That’s true, I’m just speaking on behalf of what I’ve personally seen. I just don’t think there’s a consensus amongst Villa fans as to why Rogers will be so expensive, or even what a fair price would be
@SC__AV@b_z_p1@villa946@Villa_Verse I disagree - I dont think anything in your tweet suggests Rogers should be anything close to 100m. I think he’s a brilliant player and we probably will spend that money on him, I just don’t think he’s worth it
@b_z_p1@villa946@Villa_Verse If that’s the case then why is that sentiment not echoed by most Villa fans? Almost every Villa fan I’ve seen seems adamant on the fact that a 100m bid is an insult and not reflective of Rogers’ ability as a player
@villa946@Villa_Verse In a fair market where values aren’t inflated 80m is more than fair for Rogers, why would you not take it? Genuinely curious not trying to be provocative
