Rumoured that Chelsea are prepared to offer Villa 3 players to prise Rogers to Stamford Bridge.
I don't want 3 players from them who probably don't want to leave and possible don't want to come to Villa. Would be a bad deal imo.
If he does go it's got to be a cash deal.
We can then get players in who we want and need.

If we let Rogers go and it wouldn’t be the end of the world if that did happen I’m sure Jackson would be part of any deal.

A swap deal doesn’t help our psr, I honestly couldn’t see this happening, we would actually be worse off having to pay 3 players wages instead of 1 player, same with united they are interested in Martinez but don’t want to spend any fresh money for a deal they want to swap garnacho, I find it comical they have all this money to spend on new players from other teams but don’t want to give us cash money when in fact we are the team who needs that cash more than any other team in the league, Rogers is our golden ticket, if they want him let them stump up 100 million or sod off, only a fool would take any swaps imo, Chelsea are desperate to get rid of Jackson after buying 2 new strikers, we are holding the aces in my opinion. Selling rogers or Martinez to a rival club makes them stronger and us weaker so if it happens we should be making damn sure that we get ourselves out of the financial pickle we find ourselves in.

Whack, income is not limited to cash. Like with Luiz, the value of any players taken in exchange count towards a profit on a player sale.

I certainly wouldn’t take 3 players and tbh I wouldn’t take Jackson either he is half decent but if we want a forward I would rather go for my own personal favourite Patrick Schick or failing that Mateta from Palace but in reality I think Emery rates Jackson and would take him with a cash adjustment in our favour, but the cash adjustment would be key so it would have to be £35-40 million minimum and I can’t see Chelsea going for that.

Hey RK, yeh I know what your saying about player value counting towards psr but as far as I know it’s the wages that are hurting us at the minute and taking on 3 players wages instead of rogers wages won’t help us out, the luiz deal didn’t help us out that much, we got 2 players we didn’t want who went on loan and 1 of them gone again this year, god only knows what the plan is for illing jr I haven’t heard anything. whereas if we had gotten a straight up 50-60 million we would of being financially much better off.

Lotm I would have both those strikers ahead of Jackson, Chelsea looking between 80-100 million for him, no chance, they are having a laugh and only trying to big him up so they can try recoup money or make a deal for rogers which won’t break the bank for them, in reality they want rid of him, they rate him that badly inside the club that he couldn’t nail down his spot when they had no other real striker, he’s not going to get a sniff now they have delap and Pedro ??

I know you keep mentioning that Emery rates him but your reading to much into a simple comment that Emery made when asked about him, if you asked Emery what he thought of any player in the league he would say the exact same thing about them, managers don’t pass negative remarks on players from other teams unless there is bad blood there, it would be very unprofessional and would only cause controversy,

Emery is a pro and a gentleman I have never heard him say anything bad about anyone, I’ll believe he wants him if we ever put in a bid for him, I just can’t see it. every window the press link is with every player Emery ever managed, when in fact he’s only bought 1 player that he had history with. personally I think Chelsea are crossing fingers and toes that saudi come in for him, much more likely that he goes on loan to the likes of Leipzig or Leverkusen or Sporting etc who have lost a striker already.

You maybe right Whack but as with all these things time will tell.
