Conspiracy that popped in my head, because I just can't wrap it around signing both Delap and another higher profiled CF with Jackson still kicking about.
We're going to do a PSR deal with Villa for Morgan Rogers.
Evidence:
a) Strong connection between Nicolas Jackson and Unai Emery
b) Phasing out of Ollie Watkins
Nearly sold in Jan to Arsenal ++ benched for an OOP Rashford in key games down the stretch incl PSG (H) & (A) in the UCL

c) Reputable links of tangible interest all season long
d) Villa's PSR issues continue
Fuelled more intensively by the missing out of UCL football, wage structure is completely broken. I've seen it theorised that they could sell 4-5 players but they might not be interested in gutting the entire squad vs replacing one player they found in the Championship // faith in Monchi
e) Rogers is ex-City
like Palmer, like Lavia, like Tosin, like Delap, like Sancho and like Nico O'Reilly who we tried to get in January. Ties to Joe Shields.
It's a low level conspiracy, but just one I'm keeping my eyes on incase we do sign another striker in the transfer market that would command immediate minutes.
