Érik Lamela

[shempz]

I've pretty much stayed out of the Lamela row, but this is my tuppence worth.

When he joined I thought he'd be a fancy dan with bags of skill and zero fight when the going gets tough.
How wrong I was - while he may not score as many goals as I thought he would, this kid puts in an amazing shift in every game, even when he's not playing well - and I can't ask more than that.

He's also got a lovely nasty side to him (if there is such a thing). For so many years, we've been mugged off by all the snides that play for the goons, chavs and mancs. Lamela though dishes out the same treatment to them brilliantly. He's an absolute bastard. A bloody beautiful bastard.

Who says he is back at the training ground ? This whole thing has been built on "apparently"

That often used speculative word

Apparently

He trod on Fibreglasses hand and fucked off Wheelchair

Therefore exempt from all criticism!!


Rock on Coco

A well-placed source I know at the club reckons he is one of the hardest trainers at the place and - to use an oft-abused word - passionate. Very.

Reminds me a bit of Chris Waddle who always looked shagged out even when running on to the pitch but was one of the fittest players we had at the time

Apologies if I’ve posted something similar before

Absolutely loving Erik Lamela and Kyle Walker-Peters celebrating as our header on Twitter. Two guys that absolutely love this club and what it's all about.

Why hasn't Lamela been called up to replace Lanzini who got injured ?

They don't want a drug addict round the squad.

Is Lamela an addict ?

 

[Totti]

Why hasn't Lamela been called up to replace Lanzini who got injured ?

Because they play two entirely different positions.

Hence why they've called up a central midfielder to take his place.

Don't go much on that , They're both pretty much attacking midfielders

Worked well for them in the past though.

 

[BernardMatthews]

Seriously though he didn’t even get in their provisional 35.

So asking / expecting for him to be called up at this stage is at a West Ham level of delusion.

That celebration blew my mind as an 11 year old watching a world cup live for the first time.

No chance, he wasn't even in the 35 man short list. Can't see him ever playing for Argentina again.

Anyway, something's been bothering me about Lamela. Why do so many US Spurs fans think he's the dog's bollox? Then I realised it's because of this:



A whole generation of US "Soccer" fans were bought up on the notion that an hispanic looking kid doing a load of pointless flicks and tricks using only his left foot represents the ideal of the ultimate football superstar.

Coke has a lot to answer for.

Didn't know he didn't even make the final 35.

More predictions to add to part 3 from the cat nonce.

I don’t really follow Argentina at all so not sure where they play him or the formation they play.
But their attacking options are crazy.

Can’t wait for this to become *can’t see him ever playing for an Argentina squad managed by Maradona, as a special invitee to the African Cup of Nations wearing black away colours, against an Egypt squad in the second round of the group stages of the tournament held in Morocco as a prepper for the 2026 World Cup, whose biggest prematch storyline was the ongoing 3 way public cuntoff war between Barcelona’s Salah, Mcdonald’s Mido, and that dipper geezer in the Pharoah hat.**

Spoiler: **

**Prediction only valid if local temperature is between 24-27C at time of kickoff of said match.
