At the end of the season. Let's hope that's not a common theme either or it'll be a disaster of a signing.
Romeo Lavia | Chelsea bound?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Sure, Mount is coming off the back of a poor season but the weeping and gnashing of teeth in here over Liverpool's signing of Szoboszlai for seventy million (70!!!) is mind boggling to me. We've paid an idiotic price for Mount and they've got a bargain? What?? Chelsea were a train wreck last year, 2 years ago, Mount was absolutely key in their Champions league run and victory. He'll be great for us.
It’s the shiny new toy kid on the block with an exotic sounding name which multiples his talent by 10. Should know that by now!
It’s pretty mad. I don’t even rate Mount particularly highly but jeez are our fans remarkably pessimistic and “grass is greener” obsessed
In terms of numbers, Szoboszlai has actually regressed this season as opposed to his first season with Leipzig, despite finishing higher up the table and playing more minutes.
It is also impossible to tell if he can translate these numbers to Premier League. He plays in a weak Bundesliga where Sancho absolutely destroyed the stats at an even younger age than Szoboszlai.
I think Mount will comfortably demonstrate being a better footballer than Szoboszlai this season, but we'll see!
Calm Down so all being equal we are loosing out on mount whilst someone else bought a World Cup star like……….James Rodriquez ? World cups are for the 1% the rest is a slower version of national will and should never be judged against a club side, ever.
Whilst being mostly injured, yeah makes sense. Over the past 3 years hes ahead of both by a mile
Mount is nearly 2 years older than Szoboszlai, and came up through Chelsea’s academy, not a few academies in Hungary. He absolutely should have produced more over the past 3 years. I’m far more confident in Ten Hag than I have been with any other manager post-SAF, and I am sure he has a meaningful plan for how to use Mount. But there’s no way to say with any certainty that he will definitely be better than Szoboszlai next year. Both players have question marks. That’s why they’re both going for much less than Bellingham or Rice.
Think we are being linked to up the price. Dont think we are genuinely in for Lavia at this stage. Probably will sell Fred and Mctominay before making a move for a backup DM.
Who said he will be better. I said he is better now follow the convo.
But if you want my opinion he will be better, thats an opinion though
Yeah but you paid ninety five million (95!!!) for Antony last season. That's true brain fartedness.
I'll see you and raise you 100 million for Darwin Nunez.
From a purely balance perspective, a deep-lying playmaker prospect like Lavia and a boring mean DM like Amrabat does make a lot of sense.
Most of our fans need Liverpool seal of approval. If Liverpool signed Mount and we signed the players they did, same fans would be moaning about how Liverpool are getting more proven player for similar price or less.
Also how we shouldn't be signing from Bundesliga and then some nonsense about Kagawa, Mkhi, Sancho.
Most people havent even heard of Szoboszlai up until now, yet he's supposedly better than Mount.
He used to be a great talent in FM20 so….
Just has a cool name better than he actually plays.
Best move for Lavia would be Burnley or somewhere else where he gets guaranteed starting XI position.
Let’s not forget that Mount was a target for them too
Clicked on this thinking it was the lavia thread
Wouldn't mind me a labia
Think he'll end up at Liverpool, they've just reportedly ended their interest in Thuram.
I would have said any of Brighton, Brentford, Fulham, West Ham ahead of Burnley
Is Mount vs Szoboszlai the new Messi vs Ronaldo?
Same as they did with Bellingham, Bayern are reportedly interested.
We bought Darwin to score two (2!!!) in the 7-0. You bought Antony to score nil (0!!!) in the 7-0.
Evolution, dear Watson.
You bought Nunez and he took you from 2nd to 5th or whatever position you ended up in.We bought Darwin to score two (2!!!) in the 7-0. You bought Antony to score nil (0!!!) in the 7-0.
Evolution, dear Watson.
Get them both in, ffs.

Szoboszlai had a release clause
Is that true? Maybe I am the minority as I have heard his name 3 - 5 years before.
