£70m for Van Hecke (with one year on his deal), £100m for Anderson…. Great players, both of them.
But Rogers price going up £5m an hour at the moment. #avfc
Ideal realistic window:
BUY:
Harry Wilson - Free
Oscar Mingueza - Free
Marcus Rashford - £26m
Jonathon Rowe - £30m
Aaron Wan Bissaka - £15m
SELL:
Bailey, SIJ, Dobbin, Burrows.
I'd keep everyone else. This is assuming we're keep Rogers which isn't a foregone conclusion.
So take Sancho. Say we save £200k a week wages.
Can replace with someone on £190k a week.
But only if they are a loan or a free transfer. If we pay a £30m fee, will have to be on less than £100k a week etc.
Just something to be aware of. #avfc
@OP4C@avfc_david I adore Rogers. Think he’s a special player. Physical, scores goals, drives us forward, takes players away from others, tactically aware and always, always available. I think he’s much better for a ‘team’ than Palmer, for example. So I don’t know how you’d replace him.
When it was Jack, I HATED these endless and incessant reports because I desperately wanted him to stay.
Jack was the entire plan… as we saw the following season.
Rogers is good but is a cog in a much more efficient machine so when I see these articles my reaction is more positive…
Pump that price!

James Milner retiring means 2026-27 will be the first English top-flight season since 1956-57 that will not feature a single player who played under Sir Bobby Robson.
Do you know that English teams have played 11 Champions League finals where they scored first, and they went on to win 9 of them? The only two times they lost were Arsenal in 2006 and 2026. 😂😭🏆❌
We are officially in World Cup month. Please leave your xG charts, pressing percentages, and defensive metrics in the club season. International tournament football is strictly decided by pure vibes, individual brilliance, tactical survival, and a random goalkeeper turning into prime Lev Yashin for two weeks. Enjoy the entertainment and put the spreadsheets away.
🚨 Senior sources have dismissed Harry Wilson’s arrival either as imminent or a formality. Villa & Emery had not yet decided whether to proceed & complete the final stages of an agreement, considering he would not fill the profile of a fast wide player. Instead, if he is to join, he will be regarded as a No 10. @J_Tanswell #avfc
@gulpburp Wilson is shite, Rowe is also shite but because he had a good 60 mins vs a oit of form Cash people think hes class 😂 5 goal contributions in a dogshit league. Wan Bissaka is decent but in silly wages and won't be a backup
