Gylfi is better than Lamela

Lamela is very injury prone and his main attribute is that he runs a lot. Siggurdson has saved Swansea from relegation two seasons running, put Lamela in that team instead of him, would he do the same?
He isn't injury prone, he still hasn't got past his main injury. Hopefully, if one day we can actually get to the route of the cause, we'll have a player who doesn't break as frequently / at all.
 
But we didn't win the league. Or any cups. How can it be one of our best performances?

The entitlement some of our fans have is actually ridiculous, and the fact they are too short sighted to see Pochs philosophy and give it a chance is ridiculous.

I know, you couldn't make it up.

On the basis of dumping out of three competitions in the el, cl and league cup. Our squad isn't strong enough

Do you not think that we are punching a little above our weight? You don't need to answer, it's rhetorical.
 
It is noble. But if we really can't find a player who can make a difference then the scouting or something has gone wrong.
The scouting department has been revamped/sacked twice in 18 months, so you can definitely make the case the club feels that things had not been good enough on that front. And the lack of activity may stem from the time it takes to rebuild a group capable of delivering the required product.
 
Using the academy makes me go a bit fuzzy, anyone who wants to spunk £50m on an average player instead of trusting our youth will end up disappointed but I sure as hell won't.

Each to their own.
