He was far better than £105m Rice when it mattered in the UEFA final. Only saw him then when I took note of him and the WC where again he was superb. Seems to be loads of Southampton and Brighton supports on here who watch all thier games. Amrabat seems like excellent biz and more importantly seems to be the player ETH wants.
Romeo Lavia | Chelsea bound?

If Southampton have any sense their price for Lavia just went up another £10-15m.
Now Soton knows Liverpool have £110M at the ready 
I hope Southampton have upped their asking price for Lavia to £80m once Liverpool come crawling back. Also, Lavia now knows he’s only sloppy seconds, would be hilarious if he snubbed them as well.
Liverpool are going to get absolutely rinsed if they go back for Lavia and that's assuming Lavia is still willing to go to them
Southampton will be loving this, Lavia is now a 70m player.
Is Tchouameni a realistic proposition? Can't imagine he'd be much cheaper than Rice/Caicedo or have I missed something? I like Amrabat's profile but would prefer someone at a higher level. If Tchouameni is available at a cut price, you'd just go for it because his ceiling is so much higher but I'd imagine he's just out of reach financially.
Price of the brick has to go up. Come on Southampton, rinse them
I'm sure this lad will be delighted that Liverpool have tried to penny pinch all summer then agree to pay more than double for Caicedo. Will really feel wanted if they come back in.
We should cheeky bid £60m just to force Liverpool's hand
No he wasn’t. They just had a different game plan which meant he seen a lot more of the ball. They still ended up losing and their defence was exposed twice.
Yep need all of that done before Sept 1
We could have tried for Tchouameni if we had been sensible and took West Ham's offer for the remaining half of McFred
It feels nice to see Liverpool for once being the butt of the joke in the transfermarket. Woodward for a long time looked like a drunk guy at 5 in the morning trying to pull, while landing on his arse.
Now it's finally someone else's turn to be that guy everyone can see has money and is drunk.

I hope Southampton absolutely rinses them, they now know Pool have 110m.
Yeah asking price is definitely up now
I don't think Lavia is the best fit to single-handedly carry a midfield as top heavy as Liverpool's, with TAA also needing constant cover whenever he goes on walkabout.
He's a good player, but you can see how Caicedo would have been a much more apt.
It'll square pegs in round holes if Lavia is their main DM signing.

It really is going to be something like that, Southampton must be rubbing their hands together imagining what lump of that 111M that they want for Lavia now. Imagine the fun if Lavia got ticked off with Liverpool's antics and signed for Brighton with Chelsea's transfer cash.In fairness Liverpool's transfer folks have not done much wrong since Paul Konchesky, but what a way to end that run with a failed/snubbed record panic bid
Yeah that would be funny
It would actually be a hugely sensible move for him and his development, if he was getting well advised.

Nunez, Keita, Benteke, Markovic that I can think of off the top of my head. They have had some shockers.
*yes we have too, but despite our more recent reputation for comedy transfers Liverpool also had a reputation, and probably for longer.
Yeah definitely
We should go in for Lavia. Pile the pressure on Liverpool.
Needed to sell McTominay
No way they can be signing both
Sure, why not at this point ?
It's hard to moan too loud because United ain't exactly blameless in the whole monopoly money in football thing but you know
So that will be £111m + £50m = £161m on two players?
Nah Macallister was only 35 wasn’t he?
Exactly.
743 year contract for Lavia.
Boehly pulling a madness this week, jeez
They still need another striker but wow at that midfield refresh overnight, I'm jealous.

At this point they’re rounding them up just so nobody else can have them. Hostage signings.
What? Chelsea buying Lavia too?
Boehly buying top talent FIFA takeover style. What a top young midfield they’re putting together.
Really fecking over Liverpool there
No mercy. Crush the bellends
