Rogers may have been first choice target going into the summer window.
Things change, opportunities arise. If he was that important and was sold on coming here, we wouldn’t lose him over 20 million pounds. Worst case, we negotiate a payment structure and make it work. I don’t believe for one second that the champions of England can’t match a no European football, mess of a club that Chelsea is for appeal or funding.
We have our sights set elsewhere would be my guess. There’s a lot of time and options left in the window, let’s see what Berta pulls out by the time it closes. We know the club is committed and ambitious. The goal is to repeat in the league and get a chance at the champions league again. These days we don’t seem like the sort of club that will let a couple of million quid get in the way of that if we have what we see as the ideal player.
