You'll never find any post of me claiming he had a drug ban, commenting about his dog dying or anything like that. I only ever speculated there maybe a psychologial component to his injury. Given all the things going on in his life at that time, that actually wouldn't be very surprising.
We'll find out Poch's attitude towards him between now and the new season. My position has always been that he's never been in Poch's long term plans, has not and will not be offered a new contract and will be sold in the Summer. You can say I was wrong about this or that but so far I've only been wrong by about 200 odd minutes that he wouldn't play for us again - let's see how long it takes Toby to better that up when he's back. And it's only this window it's been able to sell him, though he perhaps hasn't played enough yet.
I judge players fundamentally on their skill set and back myself as a good judge of attacking players in particular, as that was I was as a player, tricky winter come striker. I'm very keen on Malcom because the skillset is there - pace, balance, ability to strike the ball well in a variety of ways, able to use both feet. I'm less keen on Moura though as Malcom betters him in most areas. When we were linked with Ousmane Dembele 18 months back it took me one YouTube video too see he was a future Ballon d'Or winner and would end up at one of Spanish giants. So with Lamela, it's so simply that the skillset isn't there, which is what my opinion has always been based on.
