Romeo Lavia

Pretty sure only the buy back is next season.

Correct. We could buy him this season but not for a set price. We would then get a 20% discount.

Yes, I think you are right. My mistake.

Question is - if City and Liverpool table offers acceptable to Saints, which club does Lavia choose? He'd probably feel he'll get more game-time at Liverpool.

Unless Kalvin goes, I would prefer us to get an attacking-minded player. I haven't seen too much of Lavia, but from what I have seen, he is more of a CDM/CM, and I don't see how he gets any significant game time in our system. We need a RW/LW attacking midfielder sort of player, IMO.

So if our buy back is effective next season, does that mean if Liverpool sign him now we can buy him off Liverpool next year? That can't be right? I guess if we don't match the bid then we just get the sell on %?

You would think that wouldn't be the only consideration. Champions league vs Europa, playing for Pep, weekly wages offer, in a place he knows vs new surroundings would all also come into it.

You are right, he would have to want to come.


And we would have to want to sign him. Which is probably the big stumbling block, with nothing to suggest that is the case.

No one spitting in his face either

Sure, but nobody needs to for him not to come. Where as they do need to show interest for him to come.

But win more trophies with us!

Does lavia count as homegrown and therefore not take up a place in the squad?
