I think all the "I told you so" bs needs to stop on this forum in regards to Lamela
It's almost as if some fans are so caught up in their side of the debate on here that they want him to do poorly in order to be right. This is not helped by fans on the opposite side of the fence being dicks about every positive thing he ever does and calling those who they debate with "idiots" etc - it only perpetuates the polarisation and makes people take harder stances in the position on the debate
We can all agree he's a talented player - I don't think anyone doubts that
We can all agree he's been disappointing so far - of course some think this more than others which is fine
We all seem to agree he looks unsuited physically to our league, when played at RWF anyway but we should all be encouraged that he's shown potential as a No.10. There's no need to have the silly back and forth arguments now the window is closed, whether or not he should be sold is irrelevant now. He;s with us and it's in everyone's best interest that he does well for the club
No we shouldn't get carried away by one decent 1/4 of a match cameo, and yes there were still aspects of poor play in that performance. It is however ridiculous to dismiss what he and indeed Townsend did against Sunderland because when all is set and done their respective performances were key to us winning the game
I really think we should drop the arguments at this point and stop the agenda's (both positive and negative) because I'm pretty sure all our opinions are actually much closer together than the nature of debate and desire to be right and say I told you so make it seem. We all know he has talent, we all know he's under performed and we all want him to do well, don't we?
Absolutely, it shouldn't be about agendas or who's right or wrong. I just want whats best for the team and giving Lamela a chance in his best position could potentially improve us IMO.
That's why I want to see him given a go there, simple as that.
I've been very critical regarding Townsend's game but he did well on Sunday and showed more maturity by playing more for the team. I'll always give credit when its due, we all want what's best for the team anyway.
