Yeah I think that Fazio being offered to West Brom has put that one to bed.
How does a player live up to a price tag though, and is it their fault if the club overpaid? I think we did in Lamela's case, and I don't see why he's to blame for that.
I also think it's silly to say he didn't do much last year. If he didn't do much last year, but got the most assists on the team, and created on par with Navas then which RW in England did much of anything?
End of last season he looked good but has returned a shell of himself, he was a shell of himself for most of last season up till the end. Maybe it's the Prem, maybe it's England but by the sounds of this his heart ain't in it.
He is talented but so is Pritchard and I bet Pritchard will run through walls to get in the team. Also we have Townsend, Clinton, Onomah, and potentially Berahino who is very versatile pushing for that place, it's not as barren an area for us striker or DM.
Lamela is young, has a good record in Italy, didn't fail to the same degree Soldado or Paulinho did. We should be looking at £15-20 million for him, although Italian club are cheaper than us so you never know.

Yeah well its Pochettino's team and thats why we are talking to Inter. I fully back any decision to sell.
Good on Poch, finally seeing the light. A bit of faith has been restored for me over this. Nice to see eye to eye with the manager for once.
Im looking forward to seeing more Pritchard and Njie than Lamela, personally.
You can pine for the lady boy and be cross with Pochy.
It's easy to identify players. It's hard to actually negotiate transfers. It's not like we're the only ones struggling to bring people in.
If anything last season he was coached to death by Poch, didnt look half bad defensively, has come back from a summer holiday and forgotten it all again, I bet Poch has had enough of him
According to Brad Friedel, it's Pochettino, Levy and Mitchell who make the calls.
Lads... I have a confession... I'd rather have Austin at £15m than Berahino for anything over £18m.
I just like how Austin kept our entire back four busy by himself, and how he'd be perfect to throw in when we're chasing a goal late. Toby could just aim his long balls in his direction and it'd be dangerous...ochbye:
I like Austin better as well but Poch will never play a 4-4-2 so there is no chance.
Berahino is good because he can play wide but he is very easily distracted(or maybe big-headed). After his first England cap last season, he thought he was suddenly good enough to play for a champions league club and his form went down after that.
Pretty sure that same thoughts will come back again if he has a few good months with us.
who is it he keeping out the team??? , Townsend is injured, Lennon is gone, dembele can't play on the wing
I won't be cross, but according to reports, it's Coco that wants out, not us that wants to sell. Either way, you can keep melting to your heart's content Sammy, it's the only thing you do.
Well...Alli, Pritchard and Njie so far
Am a bit hurt that Sammy ignored my offer of e-friendship 
Well only Toby A. seems to be a ready made improvement. Wimmier and Tripper are either squad fillers or future prospects at best

Yeah well Poch seems to have more brains than to try and talk him out of it.
And what a shock, his daddy says its him that wants out.
And Im not melting over Lamela talking to Inter. Im fully backing the club....might want to rethink that one.

Im hurt you thought we wasnt already friends
