Romeo Lavia

[Keeper!]

Its a huge shame we chose to overlook two very decent,potentially excellent,academy products in favour of Philips.Both would have been far more useful last season.

Agreed but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Phillips at the time looked a decent sensible signing as a back up to Rodri, sadly he looks totally out of his depth even in that role.

Though this is true, look at the absolute bleeting going on when Bobb and Palmer are suggested as Mahrez replacements. "Got to buy, ' Got to buy, 'Why didn't we use the academy?'

I am on record here saying we’d be better off keeping Lavia than signing Philips whom I always said wasn’t good enough for us. I don’t think it’s the same now, especially because of where the two players you mentioned are. And who needs immediate replacing. Bobb can stay and be worked for the future, if it works, it works. But be careful. Palmer just won’t make it here despite the chances given

It wasn't hindsight though.....even though i very much got on board with the Philips signing,as i expected him to be the perfect understudy,i only did so because it was apparent Lavia was not going to get his deserved opportunity.

Doyle was always destined for loan,however.

As you already know, I couldn't agree more.

Whispering: this would be an even better signing for them than Lavia

If he is a replacement for Fabinho or Henderson then he must be a clogger.

Or Milner

Brazilian media is saying Liverpool has approached him as the Lavia alternative. This is one of the most “PL players” in South America today. Very high ceiling, tactically smart.

Fair play to Saints standing there ground against the dippers for Lavia, I was wondering whether we have a sell on clause.
