Romeo Lavia has been a popular name this transfer window, with many elite clubs circling on the 19 year old defensive midfielder.
The Belgian was a bright spark in Southamptons relegation campaign last season, and looks to become a serious star of the future with both Liverpool and Manchester United chasing his signature.
Is Lavia ready to make the jump to a top 6 club? Carl Anka is here to discuss just why he thinks he could be a great addition to either Erik ten Hag or Jurgen Klopp’s sides.

Came for the tactical insight, stayed for the poetic intro
Lol
How did you watch the video in reverse?
@@CH-iy3kdNah he watched it in order since he stayed for the poetic intro which comes first in the video
Have to say as a Southampton fan, Lavia was our best player by miles last season. Was the only one who really showed any passion and always clapped the fans. If he does go he will go far. He is the next big thing. Trust us.
Would Southampton be keen on any players in a swap from say Liverpool out of interest? Nat Phillips seems Leeds bound. Kaide Gordon, Bobby Clark and Tyler Morton could all do with with a loan at least if not more.
City LA Masia emerging?🤔
@@someonesgoat u wud learn more abt lavia from city fans tbh
@@prodigalfraudaddy You realise 90% of their fanbase had never watched him before he left right??
@@LoCoAde87 To put Southampton's thoughts into a short sentence: NOOOOOOOOO.
In a longer more thought out response: We are not interested in doing any of Liverpool's work for them. We will not take players that are not particularly beneficial for us. Nat Phillips does not suit our new style as a ball playing CB. We want to control possession and play it out from the back. Even if he could do that which I doubt, he's aging and often injured. As for the young players you mentioned I don't think they're ready for senior football at a side pushing for promotion. Liverpool won't get any discounts on the Lavia deal by handing us their fringe players. We'd MUCH rather take the £50m and use it on our own targets that suit our system.
Big up Carl. Want to see more of him
Lots more, this man has a unique charm
Who’s the guy with the voice over at the end
@@thecalmmindtutors9805 That's Joe Devine. He started TiFo as a magazine in the late 80s and now does voiceover work on most videos like the late Stan Lee
He's the best one.
I can't take him serious because he claims to be a big united fan but I seen him on a show before and they wanted to know his favourite Paul Scholes moment and he couldn't name one.
Carl is great man, need to see him more often
Carl is such a fantastic orator, he needs to do all of these!
Carl Anka, brilliant video! Brilliant analysis as always, but the delivery is just perfect.
Even more excited about Lavia possibly going to Liverpool now. He looks like exactly what we need!
Lol\
Nice job Carl! Hope to see more of you going forward.
Without a great amount of watchable games, the data set isnt there to fully assess a player so young. Even so, just by going by this small subset and "the eye test" I see no reason Lavia cant be an absolute monster with the trajectory hes already on. At only 19 he clearly has the physicality to mix it with teams at the premier league level, so pair that with a world class coach like Klopp, Pep or even Poch and he has the ability to be up there with the best DMs of his generation.
Ten Hag isn't world class??? Just asking
I think he can be. I only mentioned these guys because they have a track record of developing players in the prem.
Point taken
@@thabangmatsepe863 Not if he's gonna rely on an Ajax team from five years ago for most of his transfers.
@@thabangmatsepe863 How is Ten Hag world class when he lost 7-0 to the worst liverpool team in 5 years😭
0:59 ah yes, Mateo Kovavic. Great Croatian midfielder.
Seeing the Okacha frame behind you made my day. 😊
Although I do like that Nigerian top, it would have been hilarious if it had his Bolton shirt up there.
Thanks for the explanation. I didn't watch Southampton much last season and was very confused why everyone was going crazy about him.
Bring Carl more often... Please!
Lavia to Liverpool
Here we go!
In 24/48 hrs
To where?
Carl has improved so much. He’s one of the most entertaining analysts. Love his delivery keep improving my guy! Love from 🇯🇲 ❤
This guy is the best presenter
A lot of fun
As someone who watched him every game, you've nailed the analysis. Except I think you accidentally switched them when you said he's more of a 8 than 6
Carl makes the best videos for Tifo, big fan
I appreciate that I can tell exactly what they were going for with the spelling of "Ackchually"
That good at 19 for a defensive dm. That doesn't happen often.
My go too CDM on Fifa career mode for years love to see him at liverpool
Can't see United spending big on Lavia when they've got Mainoo
u dont know man u well enough then
@@coffeeaddict575 no he's right, you're the one talking out of your depth here mate. Mainoo isn't far from Lavia's raw attributes.
@@coffeeaddict575 aside from having kobbie manoo, its smarter to pay 35-45mil for amrabat than paying 50 mil on lavia
@@coffeeaddict575 they dont even want lavia they have their sights armrabaat..so I dont know where they got that from
Most these United fans have seen mainoo after one game😂😂
Enzo x caicedo x lavia will be fire this season
I see Carl Anka.... so its a must watch video
Carl Anka is a gem
Yay! Carl is back!!!
Great delivery Carl 👌
Thanks editor for freeing me from having to correct the misuse of the Shakespeare quote
this was recommended to me after his move to Chelsea 😂
Best Presenter of football ive seen in YT!
First time watching big Carl and he sold me in minutes, engaging delivery and diverse knowledge. Looking forward to seeing Cai-En-Via playing for us...yeah, I cringed just reading that, will see myself out now...
The map seen in the video is Hotspot. I'm MarshallEisenhower from the EU server and I'm looking forward to seeing Van Speijk in game!
Great content
This guy explains it like i'm 5yrs old and i love it
I'd work for tifo, all their presenters are absolutely ACE
Carl Anka, the football analyst we need but do not deserve. Looks like my Liverpool Reds are closing in on Lavia and I am enthused.
We're not getting him
@@kyle1493 he's a chelsea player now
Carl is BACK!!!
This guy does my head in
i like carl good explainer of things
Smashed it Carl
United are closing in on Amrabat fir around 25mill. And Mainoo is like Lavia. I don't think United will be in for him
Excellent!
Okocha

Proof that Tifo football is the greatest football CZcams channel in the world
United want lavia?????
No sadly they don’t
Exactly, tifo is a good channel, I don't know why they are making up things. United now only want Amrabat as far as I know.
Lavia will be a beast in the future, but now for 50m pound is a big risk I think, too young.
They just making up things...weve never been in for Lavia.....Click Bait
Ex-City player so of course they do.
Tifo IRL want Man UTD to want Lavia.
DM is the most complex position in the game of football because football itself flows through him.
Would work alongside enzo in poches system
Carl anka we want more
2:22 They don't deserve that apology
Best intro ever
Love carl
Gotta love Ankaman 💯
I like this host but the editor did him dirty, slow it down a bit
Love Carl
Lavia is off to Liverpool, things speeding up with regards to getting him in.
Add Manchester United and get more views..brilliant title
Trust me nobody cares about yanited😂
@@BigDeyumyeah mate, that's why every player in the world that makes a transfer "rejected man united" and every article that mentions man united in the title gets the most traffic. Deluded.
They changed it lol😊
Great video! One recommendation for Carl is for him to be mindful about speaking slightly slower. His points seem rushed at times because he's speaking so quickly.
Speaking quickly is not really an issue for podcasts or conversations but video essays or general explanations would be best served with a slower cadence.
Just my two cents as someone who enjoyed the video but thought it could be improved slightly.
WE ❤ CARL!
That intro 😂😂😂
Would also like another DM as well as Lavia at LFC. If Fabinho stays for another season then that would be ideal imo
Dont forget about bajcetic!
Bajcetic is already better than Lavia
@@CraigTheBrute-co3yswtf no that's why we are signing lavia
I'd like another midfielder too, more experienced than Lavia, but doesn't have to be someone in their late 20s. Also someone who can play No 6 or No 8. Manu Kone is due back from injury next week... he'd be a super buy. He's physically ready for the Prem + we can probably sign him for under £30m, possibly £25m. Thiago can play the No 6 role until Klopp feels Lavia is ready. If we get Kone, he can also be eased into getting more minutes as Mac Allister and Szobozslai will start the season no doubt
Can we get more Carl Anka please
Welcome to Liverpool Romeo 🙌🏽
This man is better than the other two. More of him please
Great analysis…can’t wait to see him for chelsea💙
Came for the tactical insight, stayed for the tactical insight.
Didn’t speak about aerial fuels enough which is a big task for a No.6 - loosing Fabinho is a huge problem
Welcome to Chelsea🤩💙🇧🇪
United have a deal agreed with Amarabat and if he signs I imagine Mainoo will go on loan. Our starting CM next year will be Cas/Mount/Bruno. No chance we sign Lavia as things stand especially when all available ££ will be going towards a striker.
Love a cheeky Carl Anka video, more is needed
Hurray more Carl
More Carl!!!
He love liverpool.
Absolutely MADE UP to see Carl ❤
Cark .. Carl .. Carl !! the best videos from Tifo (with Mckenzie ). Thank you for the video but is UTD even going to have a chance liverpool got a 35-40 m bid knocked back
Andddd here he is at the bridge 😁
Everyone wants to sign and Chelsea, fresh from Caicedo., took it.
I like this new guy. 👌
Big up Carl
What’s the difference and similarities between lavia and caicedo?
I'd say Caicedo is closer to being a complete midfielder or box to box midfielder. Basically whatever Lavia can do, Caicedo can do better plus a lot more especially in attack. Caicedo is considered a player ready to be in contention as a starter for a starter whereas Lavia i see being a player you bring on late as a sub or play in the cup games
@@tomcoburn5258no wtf analysis lavia will Start in lfc squad they are not paying 50 mil for a player to come as a sub
Caicedo is not a pure DM but Lavia is. Also Lavia is not good at attacking like Caicedo.
@@unknownstranger2621 that’s what Southampton are demanding for him because he’s one of their key players, that’s not what he’s actually worth. 50 mil nowadays isn’t as much as it used to be
how is he in the air?
Great vid can't wait for lfc to sign him
Lol 😂 that nah see you mate cracked me up
Chelsea fan here, been watching videos of Lavia after Liverpool hijacked Caicedo.
We seriously need an excellent defensive midfielder (6), but I've been seeing that Lavia is more of a deep-lying playmaker that can sometimes tackle. We already have Enzo as an 8. We seriously need a defence-minded player.
Lavia is an excellent player by many metrics but his defensive stats aren't as impressive as Caicedo.
😂😂😂 caicedo and lavia captured i cant stop laughing at liverpool
Do another one showing Chelsea please, missed us 😴
Who is the journalist realted to Liverpool fc? Pls?
When big carl turns up in a lab coat you know he’s gonna drop some serious knowledge
why do you show examples of a play with screenshots? doesn't convey anything. Is it a copyright thing? because it's fair use if you're providing something additional like commentary.
He's going to Liverpool!
On January 31st.
CAAARL
Manchester United have not been linked nor yet indicated any bid. Why the title?
He has a "Buy-Back" Clause to Which TEAM>?????
Nothing similar like Busquets or a signle pivot. Busi never used to run with the ball, instead he used to position himself perfectly to recieve and then distribute the ball. He was a dominant aerial presence an very smart at intercepting the ball whule very good at tackling too. He is better as a double pivot with the freedom to carry the ball instead of being a single pivot.
On the ball he reminds me of Dembele (ex spurs)
Carl knocked this one outta the park.
@TifoIRL Time for a Barcelona Sensible Transfer video. Come on
Everybody wants Carl Anka
Lavia will be world class at the end if this new 23-24 Season, 18 months Lavoina will be world class, nheres no point klopp pa these wages for a
(19 yr's) old in a universal credit Wondow!.
This will be crucial please no kilmarnock player mother well rass clart corn bread Ting
if liverpool really make him as the main replacement for fab, it'd be disrespectful towards bajcetic. both are young, and bajcetic already proved his worth so why bother trying?
bcoz we have more matches
Nice presentation, only critique would be the fast talking. For me, a non-native English speaker, sometimes a little too fast. ;)
Lavia is a good young player but let's not get crazy with "there's a good chance Lavia will be the player Casemiro once was" Casemiro is arguably the best DM of his generation.
He isn't.
Bro paragraph deserves a Grammy 😂😂
Man said Mateo Kovavic.
So he is a premier league version of njabulo blom?
