Romeo Lavia

[CWMCFC]

So if reports are to be believed that’s now Lavia, Palmer and Delap who will be promoted to to the first team squad next season. I can’t say I’m that confident of any of them getting many chances though.

Palmer and Delap (assuming we sign Kane or another 9) I agree with.

I think Lavia has a real shot if he impresses. We're not going to be signing another DM in light of Fernandinho's extension, so he's got a year to bed in and get some cup appearances.

From what I've seen of him he looks really special. Obviously a big jump for him, but DM is a position that's there for the taking with Dinho nearing the end of his reign and there still being some question marks over whether Rodri is the answer.

As i said in the OP :-)

I think when we signed him we knew he was a really good prospect. But I think he has surprised everyone at the club with just how outstanding he is. His composure under pressure is ridiculous for a lad of 17.
We’ll need to be patient with him as he develops physically but he certainly has the talent to potentially save us a fortune.
Learning some of the cuter tricks of the trade and ‘dark arts’ in that position from Ferna for the next 12 months will be a huge bonus

Lavia being mentored by Fern, Palmer being mentored by Mahrez and Delap being mentored by Kane. It's all one big cunning plan with not a turnip in sight.

Wonderful news. Arguably our biggest talent in the youth system. Could save us £80M on a Fernandinho replacement.

Could be as good as Foden IMO (albeit completely different types of player).

Brilliant news but history shows he won’t get a look in!

Lol, didn't take too long did it ;)

haha I’d love the lad to play some minutes in the premier facts are he might get a game in cups! We know pep enough now he wants to win everything so he picks the strongest team available!

This lad is a serious talent, maybe not Foden level talent, but he doesn't play a position that catches the eye. I really believe he could be the next academy regular. Barring injury he will save us a fortune.

He's really, *really* good. This is wise.

He’s already preparing himself for next season by the look of it too, great attitude and desire.

Young players will almost certainly be given game time next season. First-team players are already exhausted and face a curtailed summer because of the Euros, and next summer will presumably see be shortened, too, so that the domestic season fits the 2022 World Cup. Sheer folly if they are not bled this season coming.
