I've no idea, you'd have to ask the guy in charge of the bubbles.

Not gonna lie but I spend zero interest in players coming through. I appreciate and understand that 95% if not more are never going to make the step up so it seems futile to me (and I know that everyone is different) to get over excited about a prospect.
I do check in the threads though and read whar posters who I respect are saying about certain players and it looks like this lad has a chance so good luck to him, hope he gets where he wants to go. If it's with us then all the better.

Looks like he is calm in possession, never panicks and good in tight spaces. Its interesting to see him against big guys.
Extending Dinho's contract by a year coinciding with Lavia likely being promoted to the 1st team is a perfect combo.
Can learn from the best by playing with the best, get a few games, then next year be further integrated as the #2 option, and the year after can push Rodri for the starting spot, or both can play as we have seen Rodri and Dinho play together.

Is Lavia a better prospect than Claudio Gomes? - the latter was Fern's sub in most of the pre-season games and looked ok.

Early days but he looks a class above based on his EDS performances last season

Saw this and came here to get to know our boy.
Who is he analogous to (presuming he achieves his potential)?

Am I missing something being 'under age' can he not go on the b list or is that because of his nationality/length of time with us....
While typing I think I've answered my own question.

Perhaps but I reckon it will mean quite a lot to him and will be valuable part of his education.

Yeah I think it's to do with length of time at club and current age. Lavia hasn't been at the club long enough to be on the B list.

He's a very mobile,technically gifted,and intelligent,midfield general.He has the attributes and potential to be a star in the game,hence why many are hoping he is the man to finally fill Dinho's very sizeable shoes.
Wonderful news that he has received this recognition,irrespective of whether he actually gets any game time.

Yep, I'd have thought he'd be over the moon just to be included in the squad. Any actual game time will put him in dreamland.

Understand this and am genuinely chuffed for the kid but, (confess to not watching him very much...) why not Douglas Luis? He's rocking up for the Brazilian 1st team now, and didn't we have a buy-back on him?
