Romeo Lavia

why is he drunk?

He is mad about Chelsea using the FFP loophole and is leaning on the league to close it. Chelsea isn't a part of the cartel just like us.

 

[urban genie]

can fully understand if a player like lavia and caceado have been brought up playing in teams that play possesion based attractive passing type systems would prefer to play under Potch who has had teams play like that than go to Liverpool and play Joe Kinnear style hoof ball.

Also both are probably settled living on the south coast, why uproot and move north

Bingo!

Bright lights, big city!

Not to mention two very young players getting paid a fortune to live in the Big Smoke!

“Up North” can be a hard sell to players when they are going to get very similar career opportunities and incomes in Lahndan.

Wow, so they're fine to amortise player's contracts for 8 years for FFP reasons for the last two seasons. 100% they're passing FFP then. Cheers for the link

They’ll have to sell big again next summer though.

Not really, they can't make it retrospective as that would immediately see courtrooms involved.

I know players back themselves - but when Lavia looks at the two squads he has to realise that at Chelsea he is danger or disappearing onto the bench whilst Liverpool need him to play and that has to be better for him at this point in his career. We presume that was his reason for going to Southampton instead of staying at City. I hope at this point in his career it's not about who is offering him the biggest salary - because he is going to earn plenty if he becomes the player he believes he can be.

And if these two think he is worth £60m to them - very strange that City don't seem to think he is worth the £40m he would cost us when he would also eventually slot into a club trained slot and free up another squad place.

But in any case - for a player who has played one relegation season in the PL - these figures are bonkers.

Tbf buy back at 40m doesn’t kick in till next year

They can like they have with other knee jerk ffp rule changes
