There was always going to be change at Villa Park this summer, the squad were braced for it and the Europa League win in May was the final chance for them to do something together. There are different reasons for the departures so far, including lowering the wage bill and average age of the squad - which was the second highest in the Premier League last season. Villa need to comply with Uefa's and the Premier League's financial regulations and selling Morgan Rogers to Chelsea for £117m was the best way to ensure they brought in as much profit as possible for someone who cost £16m.
