Morgan Rogers | Signed by Middlesbrough

[Bob Hope]

Very promising the lad looked mint

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Remember that TV advert,

"Blackpool, Blackpool go for it."

Is it Appleton managing? Good connection again for Rogers

 

[bluebanana83]

Hopefully has a positive impact. Hoping Fiorini will be back soon and give the whole Blackpool team a lift as they’ve had rotten luck with injuries.

 

[LongsightM13]

Blackpool have just sacked Appleton, the manager who signed Morgan on loan and who previously had him in a very successful loan spell at Lincoln.
Really hope this doesn’t affect his game time, the lad has had a terrible run of bad luck.
As the late great local boxing manager Jack Trickett once said of the similarly luckless Michael Brodie, “Throughout his whole career Michael just never had the luck when he needed it most. If he fell into a barrel of tits he'd come up sucking his thumb."

 

[MCFC.35]

This is the sickening part of football, the luck. You have absolute dog shit players on £50-80k a week because they got the break, and then you have young talented lads who could/would of been better but didn’t get the luck

Agree 100%, luck, timing and opportunity is every bit as important as talent
As an example, Joey Barton was probably the fifth best player in his age group at City but got his chance under Keegan and took it

Played up front and got the assist to set up the winner for Poveda-Ocampo in Blackpool’s win at Birmingham, and caretaker manager Stephen Dobbie said: “It's probably the best game I've seen Morgan Rogers have in a Blackpool shirt. He was fantastic. He showed what he can do with his hold-up play, his strength, running the channels and then when he got the ball, making little combinations and making things happen."

 

[FantasyIreland]

Joining Boro on a permanent apparently.

Not seen any fee mentioned,but hopefully a couple more million to add to the coffers.

 

[Centurions]

Still only 20, hopefully his injuries are behind him and he can kick on.

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Good luck at Boro. Looks a solid enough player. Hopefully undisclosed fee means buy back too, and sell on clauses...

 

[KCblue]

Any idea of a fee? I’m sure it’s not much but would be surprised at us letting him go for free

I think the devil would be in the detail mate, buy back and sell on clauses I don't see us wanting a fee for him to be honest. It would be interesting to know though we paid £4m I believe.

 

[BridgyDids]

Apparently Villa are sniffing around him at Middlesbrough now. Hope we had some future sell on clause installed in any deal

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Go luck to the lad

Apparently we have so hope they get a good fee. More piss boiling!

 

[carlosthejackal]

Apparently gone to Villa £8 million plus £7 million add ons

 

[mattcity5]

Apparently gone to Villa £8 million plus £7 million add ons

Sounds like we get 25% of the fee from what I've read.

 

[Mr Fraser]

Sounds like we get 25% of the fee from what I've read.

Good profit for the smoggies

 

[CΛL]

Boro fans surprised as he hasn’t exactly set the world alight

 

[BringBackSwales]

Did we have a sell on clause on this lad?
