It would have been,but i saw enough,and so did the Saints,to believe he could step up.Big call, at 18, but hopefully we got it right with the buy back.

He was superb in our EDS,very rarely fell below an 8/10.He didnt catch the eye of most because he does the dirty work and keeps his game simple.
Huge talent,and should have saved us 42m.
I only mean that our EDS were very rarely the second best team on the pitch and with more control he didnt have to uses the full extent of his skills. Off the clips he looks great against a good team of Premier League standard, having to find the space rather given it in the EDS.
8-)
No,he's too good a midfielder.topical question but could he have done a good job at LB? I presume he wouldn't have had the pace or height.
yup, but I meant it to all the people who mention these buyback options.He wont,Rodri and Philips are only young.
Another top club will snap him up,maybe even the Dippers as a Henderson replacement or Chelsea as a Kante.

Pep's mistake was not giving him the opportunity,when he had several chances to do so,last season.
Kid could have been our own Camavinga, I hope we haven't lost a gem here. Anyway I believe in about 5 years we would be looking to bring him back. Rodri and Kal are both 26, in 5 years they should be in their 30's, still playing regularly but not on every match day, Lavia should get a lot of game time by then...assuming we bring him back.It would have been,but i saw enough,and so did the Saints,to believe he could step up.
