Some guy on talkshite think his name is Cook the rag,said we are covering all his wages why would we do that ?
Good spot. Just checked that. Phillips to us on July 4th 2022 and Lavia to Southampton on July 6th 2022. Of course, some coaches might have been arguing Lavia's case beforehand.both here for two day overlap.. some quick work by the coaches lol.
think it just came down to experience, Lavia needed (and still does arguably) about 50 games investing in him to learn how to control from the lone 6 as Pep needs. a great ball winning, but not a playmaker yet.Good spot.

It’s a pity he left. I’m hoping that we’ll see more youngsters come through in the next couple of seasons and be given a chance. There will always be really top players that we feel we need to add, but we’re seeing through players such as Foden, Palmer, McAtee, Lewis, and Bobb that years coming through the system gives them an incredibly high degree of football intelligence so that they know instinctively where to go on the pitch and where and when to pass. Physicality and stamina can come with experience, but genuine football intelligence, of the kind we need at our level, is much harder to obtain.think it just came down to experience, Lavia needed (and still does arguably) about 50 games investing in him to learn how to control from the lone 6 as Pep needs. a great ball winning, but not a playmaker yet.
he would have been fine to stay if we went to this box midfield/4231 earlier i reckon.

I would like to think that the coaching staff sit down and assess all possible options in a professional way before any deals are agreed. Some will have been convinced that Lavia had the aptitude and ability to make the grade with us, especially those who had invested the most time with him, whereas others will have argued that he was too inexperienced and that we needed someone different to bridge the gap. We get most of the decisions correct but we don't get all of them correct. I'd like to think, however, that we're professional enough to sit down and work out why this one didn't work out.I highly doubt Phillips would have trained the day after signing a contract. Or Lavia the day before signing his, he'd have been away doing medicals. I call underhand bullshit. But people here will jump at believing it though, anything to shit on the player or moan about is always welcome.

Genuinely our worst ever signing considering how shite he is, how little he played and how much we paid for him.
