If that photo didn't get out, many would still believe he always puts us first & would run through brick walls for us.So in other words, still in the doghouse over the covid breach, which is fair enough. What he and the others did endangered our entire season.
Just imagine if there had been an outbreak that required the entire first team to isolate for 10 days? We would be completely screwed with our schedule.
Can't really disagree with bankrupt.

That´s my theory from the beginning.Not sure why Lamela seems to be singled out over the others, maybe the organiser?
I wish there was a ban so we could see Lamela run around with some fuck off great David Luiz/Cher barnet.As far as I can tell, our players are still getting their hair cut so unless we have a club barber on staff that's a breach of the rules too.
Probably only kane hasn't broken the rules! Thats why I don't say stuff like ndombele or davies or Toby etc loves the club & puts us first & would run through brickwalls for us. None would, including lamela. Lamela gets singled out time & time again for being so commited to us & for putting the club first. When the truth is he would rather go to a dinner party than play for us. The lamela myth.Let's be real, most of our players have probably broken the rules. Let's not forget that Mourinho himself broke the rules during the first lockdown. As far as I can tell, our players are still getting their hair cut so unless we have a club barber on staff that's a breach of the rules too.
Lamela deserves severe criticism but there were two other players at that party and they deserve just as much.
Mourinho will have his reasons. I think the fact he barely plays & gets paid very well doesn't help. Unavailable for massive chunks & then does this. Seems worse when it someone who is unavailable a lot but doesn't seem to care. Gets 100k per week to do nothing & then risked making lots of our players unavailable. The club stood by him & commited to a new expensive contract despite his injury problems & this is how he repays them.Not sure why Lamela seems to be singled out over the others, maybe the organiser? However we really need to offload, 18 months left on his contract and it would be the height of insanity to give him another one.
Maybe he's in the frame for a transferThere has to be something we do not know as Reguilon is playing.

Obviously he threw the party !That´s my theory from the beginning.
Reguilón was in the squad for the very next game after Christmas, while Lo Celso is injured - so it´s a bit more difficult to understand his situation.
Jose´s words about Lamela were really dark since they found out about the party, though.
Even when he mentioned the "amazing gift" he sent to Reguilón and the major disappointment with him afterwards, it didn´t sound as bad as today´s words about the Argentinian.
This is the truth of it. He has been cut a lot of slack. both the reviled Sissoko and Aurier were gooners but they never fail to be available they always work they play with injury. In Aurier case he played when we needed him in the aftermath of his brothers murder. Lamela is good at playing to the base whilst actually doing very little for year after year of renumeration.Mourinho will have his reasons.

Totally agree. Very low productivity but highly valued. A lot of our fan's get fooled by him. The amount of times we hear "we could have done with lamela. "Can't wait for lamela to get back, we will be a much better team". "I love lamela". Its very strange. But in a way not. I think so many have backed him & been proven wrong season after season. So instead of admitting it, they double down & stick with saying he is worth the 100k per week. Despite him being injured a lot & not often a guaranteed starting 11 player.This is the truth of it.
