He’s not as good as Bellingham right now, obviously, but yeah he has a unique skillset. There’s no reason why he couldn’t get to that level in future.
In 6/7 years time Bellingham will probably be one of the best CMs in the world just like he is now, but he won’t be the only CM/DM either. Lots of other players, probably some of which we haven’t even heard of yet will be at or near his level. I think Lavia will be one of those (assuming he doesn’t get serious injuries and his attitude remains good).

Well Mr Henry you have gotten a beautiful nice new Anfield road stand with lots of hospitality possibilities that will increase the value of your product and it did not cost you a dime, now cough up the extra ponds … 
Westham want to put 45m for McTominay. Its current market everyone.

What will West Ham fans think tut tut
He’s half decent and a good fit for West Ham (mid table, EL/ECL ambitions at best).
As for the price - I assume he’s on quite a lengthy contract at United. Alexis for £35m is looking a steal every passing day. Lavia, who has a much higher ceiling than McTominay, for £45m would be better than okay!

particularly a Moyesy side I would have thought.

They should scout Europe. Trindade is the man!! Love his play in YouTube videos!!! Quite impressive
What do you mean every passing day, it was a steal
from the start! We got Ox from the Arse way back when for £45M.

Should have been “more of a steal” in my post.

One thing I find odd about West Ham going in for these Utd players is that in recent years they appeared to have moved away from buying players from the big English sides and getting value from teams from the continent.
I wonder if they are finding it more difficult this summer because bigger clubs are looking to buy players covering the same positions at the same time?
The ‘Off Topic’ Police will be all over this soon.

Nothing wrong with a club wanting a certain amount for a player who they have obligation to sell.
At what point Liverpool go no and walk away is up to us. We are in a negotiation stage these things happen.
WHU might want a certain amount for a certain player, if they are under no obligation to sell then why not, if they want rid then it’s entirely different.
It’s somewhat relevant because it’s being used to show the market value for Lavia, but let’s not go too deeply down this rabbit hole, chaps.
Lavia is a very unusual animal; he appears to be comfortable and proficient in the first, second and even the third phase. It’s easy to see why Klopp (and Southampton, sadly) values him so highly. He would be a gamble, certainly, but what player isn’t in the transfer market?
It’s gotten to a point now that I would be gutted if we didn’t manage to sign him.
