Modric isn't exactly Charles Atlas...Might be worth a shot. He seems bit more muscular since coming back, but to me the upper body strength is question for me. But maybe spending summer in the gym ?

I think his upper body strength is pathetic its a big reason he doesn't really cut it in the PL he certainly has the ability , not really his fault he looks like he works at it but his natural strength is just poor he gets knocked off the ball so easily. I can't see how he plays in the dembele role with no upper body strength and a tendency to dwell on the ball too Long.
Was thinking the same. Although others can play there, ( Dele etc they are needed further forward) Dembele & Winks who have both been injured are the only 2 who can create. Sissoko, Dier & Wanyama are not creative and really do we need all 3 as like last night when 2 played we were short on creativity. Lamela does not score enough to play further forward and gets stuck in which is a requirement of this position. Could try it out with Dier Sunday.Performances like his 15 mins last night make me wonder if he could drop back into the Dembele role, partly because I don't see a replacement target that gives me wood at the minute
I dont know if there's a point of keeping this player when we now have Son and Lucas. Also, apparently we are highly likely to sign Martial? If that's the case, then wtf is the point?
We are not highly likely to sign Martial. In fact, it's practically impossible.I dont know if there's a point of keeping this player when we now have Son and Lucas. Also, apparently we are highly likely to sign Martial? If that's the case, then wtf is the point?

If think it's become a point of principal now amongst some. They can't bear the thought of us selling him because they'll be proved wrong. It's kind of ridiculous.
Wrong.
Poch: Lamela can get better - BeSoccer
Tottenham missed Lamela's energy - Poch
NW1 is wrong.
This is a beauty of a post. Not only is the injury fake, but POCH WAS GOING TO COME OUT IN A PRESS CONFERENCE throwing a player under the bus and that he must leave.
Hahahaha.
NW1 is wrong.
Erik Lamela starts for Spurs at Juventus, Leroy Sane returns to Manchester City bench at Basel
NW1 is wrong.
Lamela stays and Poch reiterates Lamela is intergral part of Spurs.
Shock horror. NW1 is wrong again.
Another 5 star post. MAY NEVER PLAY FOR SPURS AGAIN!
Hahahahaha.
NW1 wrong again. Who's keeping count?
ROSS BARKLEY WAS A THREAT TO ERIK LAMELA AT SPURS!!
A fresh angle for NW1 to, you guessed it, be wrong.
Lol.
Pochettino lauds Lamela comeback - FOX Sports Asia
More wrong.
And yet, here we are, Lamela has stayed. Not only that, has been a mainstay in matchday squads since his return and trusted to start in the Prem and CL.
How many times can one person be wrong before it hits home? We continue...
NOT EVEN AT THE TRAINING GROUND!!!!
A new depth of wrong from NW1.
When will this wrong end?!
Demanding apologies if Lamela was sold. Anyone get an apology when he stayed? Nah, just persevered in the wrong.
Oh yes, WE are the fantasists.
Yet here we are, and so is Erik Lamela.
I have followed Lamela to his new club. It's called Tottenham Hotspur. How fortunate.
ROSS BARKLEY!!!
I'm 10 minutes in and getting bored now.
Is it Groundhog Day?
Not only has he doubled down on Lamela. He's then thrown Spurs under the bus. ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE SPURS GET TOP 4 THIS SEASON.
Double double wrong wrong.
Another new angle. Poch was apparently only playing a ''weaker'' player to showcase him to sell. Result? Lamela stays and is added to CL squad.
No, no. You're very level headed when it comes to Lamela. The epitome of fair.
I won the bet. You wre wrong again.
Were you proven right? Or are will still waiting for the sunshine?!
Textbook. When proved wrong over and over, just keep moving the goalposts until something sticks and you can boast.
Where have we heard this before?
Lamela features in every game of the CL since added to the squad. Starting at the first opportunity.
Not only did he make the bench, he started.
So much wrong.
Erik Lamela starts for Spurs at Juventus, Leroy Sane returns to Manchester City bench at Basel
Lamela starts against Juventus. Have you considered a career as fortune teller?
As for avoiding referencing Lamela...I think you should take your own advice.
Lol. I think right and wrong are quite obvious in this case.
Honestly mate, it's just best you put this whole debacle behind you and take your own advice and shut the fuck up about Lamela. It's a fucking embarrassment and such a bore to read over and over and over and over and fucking over.
You were wrong, a lot. Accept it and move on.
It's us that will be proven wrong?
You really are shameless.
If we sell him this summer, it will be the 4th consecutive window you've said he'll be sold, would that make you proven right?
Let's go back to this classic post shall we...just to put you back in your box...
Erik Lamela 12 - 0 NW1Spur.
But it's us that are ridiculous and gonna be proven wrong?
And whose fault is that?You're just proving the point. There isn't a rational debate to be had anymore about Lamela.
And whose fault is that?
You want rational? Yet said he'd be banned from the training ground.
Honestly lad, you're a shambles.
You're such a liar.If you read between the lines you'll find the underlying meaning of what I actually said, and that is that I think he'll be sold in the first window that he's sellable. I.e. This window, because he's been either injured or still coming back from being injured in the three previous transfer windows, so therefore was not sellable.
You're such a liar.
That's not what you said. Don't make me go find your posts and expose you.
Son or Lamela ? No. It’s Son AND Lamela. You keep them both and rotate.
Last night a great example as to why. Son was SHIT. Lamela was great. Some weeks it will be other way around. What you don’t want is Lamela or Son & no pressure on them.
Does intrigue me though (subject to the game/oppo)... He does tick a few boxes - Tenacity, good close controll/dribbling, can pick a pass....
