The way The Athletic reported it was a bit like with Bazunu, all agreed but probably hasnt done the formalities, medical and actually signed.

Anyone know if he had Belgium games and therefore quite possibly still on holiday?

Hopefully it gets officially done soon.

Once Phillips move to City is complete I think Lavia deal will be completed too.

I hope so. The longer this goes on the more nervous I am about it actually happening. 

Same. Any time a Saints transfer draws out I feel like it's going to fall through.

Yep, same.

I hope we don't miss out on Rudi Skacel. I'm pinning all my hopes for the season on him. Has he signed yet?

He's signing on the pitch before our home game, Jim Branning will be letting off balloons first.

LOL Jim Branning !

Still one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen at St Mary's

Any news is this deal done?

My guess is it’ll be done after City sign Kalvin. 

No idea why, just a hunch.

I got a text from a mate in Manchester last night. He reckons Lavia isn't coming. 

Hopefully he's just trying to wind me up as he knows I was looking forward to him signing. 

What would put him in the position to know anything about the transfer? Merely being in a city doesn't qualify ITK status.

Agree.  From City's point of view it doesn't make much sense to release Lavia if they haven't sealed Phillips as an incoming move.

Is that a good reliable source ?

The article is simply crediting The Athletic’s initial report - there is nothing new since then.

Seems like Lavia has changed his mind since it emerged Long was leaving…

Until the last three words of that sentence my heart sank

Is this signing 'insane', like Tino? Or does it need to be labelled differently?

Off the chain!

I thought Simeu was the insane signing? Besides, the politically correct term is ‘mentally hilarious’.

So, how come this lad is so highly rated? He’s only played twice for City in his career, how has he stood out so much?

Clearly you aren’t a football hipster

Good for him that he didn't go to a La Liga club in a region of Spain where they pronounce 'V' as a soft 'B' 

I tried that joke a few days ago, it didn’t fly.

Good scout report - https://footballtalentscout.net/2021/07/04/analysis-why-romeo-lavia-is-turning-heads-at-manchester-city-by-the-american-cityzen/

 Physically strong, quick,  good at driving forward, good ball winner, Ive watched him loads since he was at anderlect and always thought he’d be the perfect replacement for Romeu even when he was 15 and I saw him play in a pre-season youth tournament in France which I saw when I was on holiday there. Colossal signing.

Great read, thanks for posting. I know he's only 18 and he's got a lot of developing to do, but much in the mould of ABK and Bazunu, if you looked at the position on the pitch and the traits the player needed to have to fit our style, he seems to tick every box.

I was wondering if there's any mileage in using that as a rhyme in a song.

Boom. That ticks the box.

Think we and our new recruitment chief are competing with the La Liga club to sign his younger smaller brother.

If we sign him we’ll have to list them as  Lavia Majora and Lavia Minora in the squad.

(Try getting that on the back of your shirt).
