rallyboy Posted 14 July, 2023 Share Posted 14 July, 2023 While it would be great to make demands and be in control, as a relegated club with a very talented player attracting Premier League interest, I'm not sure that what happens next will be fully our decision. We just need to hold out for as much as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSFC Posted 14 July, 2023 Share Posted 14 July, 2023 I hope we hold put for 40m plus for Lavia. We don't need to sell and this "saints are the championship" so the value goes down is bullshit. If he's good enough pay the value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know the value of him and will sell IF someone meets OUR value. He has stated we are not in finacial trouble and will push for immediate return to PL. So we are not a finacially weak club, so forget about the low ball offers on his best assets! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 16 July, 2023 Share Posted 16 July, 2023 I think clubs need to just pay the going rate for this kid and stop trying to cheap out, it's not just his ability but he's such a good character. That's one of the main reasons he will go right to the top. There is no risk associated with signing him. Bristol City want £25-30m for Alex Scott, I don't think £50m is a ridiculous ask at all - he's probably worth more if we're honest, but relegation has harmed his peak value. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even yesterday against Goztepe he looked a class act when he came on. That's reinforcing his value and like you say, there are a number of characters that frankly let themselves down last year when we were on our downward spiral, but Lavia still gave it every game 100%. He comes with zero baggage and with so many prima donnas in this game, that's worth a pretty penny on its own. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to post this again as he is absolute quality - you instantly saw the difference v Goteppe, he was fast, aggressive and wanted to dictate play. Normally when someone leaves us he is dead to me but i will follow and hope lavia has a great career preferably not at liverpool though.
