Can't believe it's taken Tolm saying it for me to think of Gomez to Burnley. Makes sense on pretty much every level given his past with Vinnie.

Personally hope it works out for them. There's a player in there somewhere but not entirely sure he's at our level...yet...and the way Pep has the team playing doesn't entirely hinge on a ball-playing full-back in the same way we kept Zinchenko and Cancelo around for so long.

His delivery is lethal, though, so if he becomes an attacking full-back at Burnley then I'd expect to see rave reviews about him.

‘Lethal’ may be a little generous..

So what?, replacing their DM with a player nowhere near our DM,chelsea will still finish below us next season.

The ‘so what’ is that despite all the recent hits in the market, City let a DM who could’ve given 15 years service go in return for a player that Pep has no trust in and would happily let leave this summer.

The result being Rodri having to play every minute and having to stay on at the weekend when he was gasping for breath on 75 minutes….

Chelsea will now get a top class DM for the next 15 years and Txiki will have to go back into the market and drop a decent wedge to find someone who can take the weight off Rodri.

The club doesn’t miss that often, but in this case it’s dropped an unbelievable clanger.

Potentially a top class DM. He’s still very raw.

See his error for Liverpool’s first goal in the 4-4 draw in the final game of the season for reference.

Doubt Lavia wanted or wants to sit on our bench, anyone coming knows they are playing second fiddle in a position we only play one, Phillips might be that person, he might not and somebody else will.
Lavia will do okay at Chelsea, he may one day be as good as the player he’s replacing then again he might not. Either way it will make fuck all difference to to us or how we progress and what we win in the future.We’ll be just fine .
 
No way close to running a game from DM, just a pure ball winner as it stands and he'd be understudying for few years with the game time he'd get here, someone else needs to invest a starting spot

Lavia looks like he will be following Joe Shields to Chelsea…..

Replacing Kante for less than Kalvin Phillips cost.

You're going to have to get used to it since not everyone is Phil Foden who agree to sit on the bench for 6 years.

It's the price of having a good academy.. very very good talents that we will not be able to keep.

A strange perspective about a player just relegated when we have just won the double, and I rate Lavia. There is absolutely no guarantee of him making it at the top level of the game - he's a talent, a good one,but that is not a finished article.
 
If City don't win the treble that unbelievable clanger is going to become a super duper unbelievable clanger. Mark my words
