I feel that would all depend on which manager would get him. If it were one who could trust him the way Ancelotti trusted Camavinga from the get go at Real Madrid. He'd be playing more often than not. Even without starting week in week out in this era of 5 Subs
Romeo Lavia | Chelsea bound?
- Thread starter bosnian_red
- Start date
You think lavia is as good as Camavinga? I haven't watched him enough to know. I know he has potential to be a good player, but Camavinga seems a bit ahead of lavia in his overall development which is why real Madrid went after him and he started a lot of games for them. But that is a good analogy, lavia could have the same progression as Camavinga if he goes to a club that the manager keeps playing him.
Can we buy him and send Mainoo back to them on a loan? It would be wishful thinking but I think Mainoo could replicate what Lavia was able to do in the championship.
He's quality IMO but nowhere near Camavinga. Camavinga is generational, Lavia is merely very good. Doesn't have the ability to drive with the ball or as good passing or as good defensively. Lavia is solid defensively but can improve positioning, his touch and press resistence is excellent and his passing has huge potential, but doesn't have the creative passing yet that Camavinga has.
Yea that is what I taught as well with regards to camavinga. I don't think lavia is at that level, but he could develop into a top footballer especially with consistent 1st team games and if playing in the right environment. Hard to tell if lavia will turn out to be a world class athlete or just a solid footballer
I think he has the potential to be just a top footballer, his press resistance and technique is excellent for sure and potential wise, a midfield of him and Enzo could be excellent.
They really love him (as a cheapish developmental prospect) on the ‘Devil in the details’ podcast. They like his ability to take the ball and turn and his press resistance.
ERM no
. I clearly talked of the trust a young player was given by a manager who signed him. Nothing in the post suggests the players are of the same level let alone are having their abilities compared. I'm simply suggesting if he moves to a club where the manager trust him he WILL play. Right now only City, Liverpool and influx Chelsea don't have room for a player like him to play regularly. I'd expect him to play alot for us, arsenal too, start for spurs, start at Brighton, Villa. For even at this stage his better than the vast majority of players in his positions in the league.

What’s that podcast on?
I listen to it on the podcast app on my phone. But here is a web address:

Think he could have been a smart signing for us but doesn't appear that we're interested.
Nope not interested at all by the looks of it
We don't have any money and won't be making any notable signings until the sale goes through. If we're lucky we'll get Rabiot on a free at best.
Well when you hear timelines from Keegan & Jacobs like 8-12 weeks we will be waiting long time to make any signings

Appeasing the fans. Thanks MUFC.
Usual aggregator cherrypicking horseshit.
Actual context:
https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ice-chelsea-caicedo-brighton?CMP=share_btn_twJacob Steinberg said:
Are Arsenal looking to buy all the midfielders?
Nope just the crazy season with all the top teams being linked to any player who's agent is trying to move them on. I mean we were linked to Robin Koch a day ago
, today it's West Ham and Frankfurt.Hopefully, yes.
I know it seems like that but the truth is money has been set aside for transfers from July 1st, after the club assesses the annual accounts, problem is that Joel and Avram still need to say yes to the transfers and they are dithering over everything, the sooner exclusivity is granted, the sooner they can get more definite answers, if an agreement in principle is agreed next week and although all paperwork to ratify the deal could easily take 10-12 weeks but could also be done in 6/7 as well, since due diligence has mostly been carried out already.
We may see SJ if he wins putting an outline of his plans in place and due to circumstances of the merger, may leave Execs in play until Xmas to prove themselves.
Can't believe people still fall for this bollocks every window.
An article that next to nobody would otherwise care about makes the most passing reference to United, it gets passed around as gospel and then we whinge about the list of players we've apparently missed out on.

Jacob Steinberg clearly reads the caf.
Hopefully we buy 2 from Rice/Caicedo/Lavia/Zubimendi.
I just hope you leave some for some other teams!
Liverpool are focusing on different set of players as they don't want to overpay.
Newcastle/Spurs aswell. Mancity basically takes what they want but have shown only small interest in Rice still.
ManUtd focusing on Mount and other positions. So except for Chelsea no one else seem much interested.
Did Pep try his hardest to keep him?
After the way Pep told Sancho to stay but didn’t try the hardest to keep - I’d be okay about missing out on someone who Pep didn’t cry about.

This is different, they had Rodri and then they got Philips. So obviously they didn't think he was ready then. But added a buyback.
We should try to get him.
- Mount
- Rabiot
- Lavia
Let's try get 2 of them.

They should have keep him and not buying Philips though, or just loaning him out first.
Think we want to get our Xhaka and Partey replacements in this window. We wanted Rice and Caceido, been priced out for Caceido so now looking at Lavia.
Is Lavia that much worse than Caisedo? If we cant bid for Caisedo (money or whatever problem), can Lavia do the trick?
The real question is is Arteta trying to turn Arsenal into a City-light not only tactically but playerwise as well..Arsenal are also after Gundogan...
Which two fit Erik's system best?
We still have many stages to go through before he would come here:
1. Interested
2. Monitoring
3. Scouts attending
4. Preparing a bid
5. Verbal offer
6. Agreed terms
7. Written offer
8. Launching a bid
9. Club denies
10. Simon Stone denies
11. Miguel Delaney pisses on our bonfire - Pep or money
12. Howard Nurse: Lavia then.
13. Lavia having a medical
14. Lavia signs.
15. Fabrizio Romano: “Romeo Lavia *arrow emoji* Manchester United *red dot emoji* Here We Go!”

Definitely Mount,hardworking no8,pressing high up the pitch.Rabiot has more about him than Lavia,I'd like to see him next to Casemiro.
Don't follow aggregarors. The article itself doesn't find us any major link outside of a throwaway line.
Step 12 got me
