Ex-Spurs Player Érik Lamela
- Thread starter spooky
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Anderson was 10x the player and a reincarnated version would be so much more useful than bang average players like Lamela

Much better. He'd have the benefit of modern sports science and surgical procedures that weren't available in his day.
Love how much sweet Erik boils the Gammon's piss.

Not to mention much more access to Class A drugs!!
It’s a shame because he has more fire in his belly and eyes and pure drive than a few others in the team combined.
I don’t know how’s long you stick with him though? Can’t even say useful squad player anymore.

There's a saying in American football that "the best ability is availability".
I love Lamela as a player as well for the same reason, but there's just not a lot of use for Wilshere's and Cazorla's in a team that's trying to win things.
He’s got loadsa money though
If in your right hand, you had a massive bag of money and your left a life long dream, you'd take what's in the right hand or the left?
Lamela has had both and should take the money and run as this point
That's a great use of words right there. Very clever and so true. It applies to so much.
Isn't that the point though? He hasn't had both at all which is why I said 'you've got too feel for the lad'.
Why should he go anywhere, he has a contract until Summer '22?
Let's hope he comes good (and stays fit) some time soon, so that the untold millions we're giving him don't feel quite so wasted?
Well, what I’m trying to say is that you don’t have to feel too bad for the lad, he’s got something to compensate for it.
I personally feel bad for us more than anyone else because we paid loads for him, are still paying his high wages and we’re not getting much in return.
Why ? I've done jobs that I don't love all of my life , I'd much rather of played top level football until 30 and retired rich
Lamela wishes he'd played top level football too. He hasn't, right?
So the right hand then.
He shouldn't go anywhere with the contract he has but he should focus on getting as much money out of the game as possible now rather than career progression.
He's played at the highest level he could have imo he was never anywhere near good enough to play for anyone better than he has despite some of the nonsense on here
