Yep the timing and ages would probably work out tbfWhich I did put in the first bit in the post and probably one of the reasons why we are after Kalvin Phillips
Romeo even struggled at times v big physical midfielders in PL2 so he remains way off starting v grown men at any serious level
But he is a real talent for certain. Maybe needs a year of physical growth, some meat on his shoulders and some scars on his shins before he is ready
Fabinho has cost the same as Ake and he is on a different level than him. We don't need to overpay in that case IMO. We can find a better player for cheaper. Use detailed scrunity.Same price as Ake who also has proved valuable cover

One is a defender one is a defensive midfielder. While Fabinho would of been a very good addition we decided to wait a season and sign Rodri instead.Fabinho has cost the same as Ake and he is on a different level than him. We are overpaying every time.
A year? He is an 18-year-old boy, the players at his position are starting to be good ones around 22-23 years of age.Yep the timing and ages would probably work out tbf

Are you paying for a top long-term quality after detailed scrutiny or are we going to overpay for a 27-year-old, not a top-class player from a nearly-relegated side? It's simply ridiculous.One is a defender one is a defensive midfielder
Are you calling Ake shit? Are you a mod/poster on a wind up?Are you paying for a top long-term quality after detailed scrutiny or are we going to overpay for a 27-year-old, not a top-class player from a nearly-relegated side? It's simply ridiculous.
I agree but we are all different, what any player would want to leave this club for at this time is beyond me but as said personal issues are a completely different matter.A football career is a very short career. I’m sure he could put up with a bit of rain for the next few years hoovering up trophies on an unthinkable Salary! He can then spend the next 60 years living wherever he wants without working another day in his life
or am I missing something!?!?!

That's a long time.....What is he lacking in his game that makes you say that?Lavia is at least two/three years from being ready to start in the premier league
Edit...just seen your other comment.I clearly disagree,i think he could be a starter in a team that has been recently promoted or exists in the lower league positions.
I never saw him get bullied or overwhelmed in PL2,if anything i believe he looked too comfortable and needed a higher level of football to further develop him.

He is a talent but he is years off the first team level, he needs to be playing regularly at a much higher level, probably a championship club.That's a long time.....What is he lacking in his game that makes you say that?
