At half time Chelsea have 87% possession but no Lavia not even on the bench, you would have thought he would get a run out |  |

Simply not up to speed, don't forget he came from a side relegated, in every department simply not good enough for the Premiership including speed of thought and fitness. |  | | |

You would have thought he could have played against a League 2 club | |

He’s on an 8-year contract.
He can bide his time. |  |

Perhaps he was advised by Tall Paul who is in a similar position, albeit with less years | |

Looks like Chelsea are signing Cole Palmer, (3 PL starts), from Man City for around £40m, taking Todd's spending to over a billion.
Are they short of midfielders? |  | | |

I agree, this would have been ideal game to improve match fitness. To not even get on the bench was strange.
Still his agent has got his commission and Lavia's bank account is doing nicely following move.
I guess it is a sign of the times, where playing and winning trophies becomes secondary. Even if Chelsea win something this year, at this rate Lavia will not have completed a enough games to qualify for a medal !
It will only get worse with the Saudi league. At the moment, they are only attracting players in the twilight of their career. How long before they start enticing international players under 23 ? | | | |

That’s a crazy signing on both sides. Chelsea don’t need him and City don’t need the money for him (unless they are offsetting FFP, for a change). He’s a very good player to be fair.
As for Lavia, I can see him getting loaded out for the season before the window closes. Otherwise, as you say, he won’t get a game. Will he even make their 25 man squad? | | | |

You keep banging on about this Nick. What's your point? That a very good player would have been better advised to play in the 2nd tier for a season? That's lunacy.
Chelsea have far too many players, they will be getting rid of a load and his time will come. There's no rush. Also, he didn't really feature that much in the pre-season /first league games of the season for us as we always knew he was off so he will need a while to get up to fitness. I assume he's effectively having his pre-season now.
I do think Liverpool would have been a better club for him to join though.
Maybe, that's the real reason for your new obsession Nick? He spurned a move to your club to go to Chelsea? |  |

I tend to show no interest in players that depart from our club where they have spent so little time with us or have made such a small impact (if any) that they are meaningless to me. Whether Lavia plays or not, I couldn't care less.
I show some interest in how JWP performs and gets on because he gave us years of service and showed some loyalty and commitment to our club and though he has departed he did so in a dignified way and for the right reasons. He is also a Hampshire lad.
I am actually tired of players that come to us, supposedly to develop or advance but want to leave within a year or so of joining because they have no commitment to the club, team or just getting their heads down and working their socks off. I hope Lavia does well. I think he is a talent but once we lost our PL status he was never going to stay. I wish no ill of him but equally I don't care whether he plays or not. | | | |
