Ledley king more than made up for it on the pitch.
Lamela is a 1 in 3 when fit and is only fit 1 in 5.

SPURS LEGEND
You have to ask - how has he got away with all this so many times. How has he never been sent off for us?
True legends are Greaves Gazza Hoddle Kane etcI hate the legend status given to bit part players because they somehow look odd, do theatrics or stupid things.
Hate it.
But a fit Lamela would be one of the first names on the team sheetAgreed but entertaining off the ball incidents aside, he's bang average and a bit of a problem.
You forgot Martial as well btw.

He did score some important goals, but you're right, he wasn't consistent. I started following Spurs the year before he joined and I never really understood why people called him 'super pav'. He just didn't seem exceptional. I understand affection for players, so maybe it's just that. I love Lamela, but he's hardly prolific. I call him him the Llama, though, which seems fair.I wouldnโt say he was disrespected but he left without a lot of fanfare considering he was with us 4 years: Roman Pavlyuchenko
Wasnโt a consistent scorer but scored some important goals through the years especially on the cup competitions. Was a lazy sod though

Would put Hugo there too. His time at us is extremely underrated.True legends are Greaves Gazza Hoddle Kane etc
Heโs been good for us but keeper wise I will always choose Pat JenningsWould put Hugo there too. His time at us is extremely underrated.
Lennon was my favourite player at that time. Yes his crosses were wasteful but he scared the life out of the opposition with his speed. He did disappoint in one match when he went off injured towards the end of a match when we had used al our subs much to Redknapps annoyance. However I think most supporters appreciated him and would pick him in their first 11. Would not get in the team now which shows how far we have come.My vote would go to Aaron Lennon. He was with us for ages, gave us width and pace, scored some mint goals, made the CL sparkle with Crouch (lol) and left with a grimace, which we laughed about. He deserved better.
Note: I'm aware he sucked at crosses. But... but... pace! We had time to get up the pitch and watch his cross.
Lennon was synonymous with the sound of the seats hitting the back of the row as everyone in the stadium stood up when he got the ball on the wing. He was class for us for years even if he wasn't elite. As a kid going to spurs he was the most exciting player to watchLennon was my favourite player at that time.

Never ceases to suprise me the outright abuse some players receive from certain quarters.... Look no further than the threads for the likes of Dier, Davies, Winks, Lucas (and others)...... No grasp of the possibility that players can improve/refind form regardless of how many examples there are to the contrary........ It's shameful really.
