Heard a rumour at the weekend from a friend of a friend of someone fairly high up at the club that he has failed a drug test at the club. Obv a large pinch of salt but would explain a lot if is true

My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with a girl who saw Erik pass-out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.

Didn't catch the news...what's wrong with his brother?
We don't know. The two real possibilities that would be serious enough for Erik to travel home are that he's seriously ill, or kidnapped (which unfortunately isn't unheard of).

A bit more than not unheard of, sadly. Erik's younger brother was kidnapped (and released) at the time he made his debut for us. What the problem is this time, we don't know. Hoping for the best for both Erik and his bro whatever it is.

Those going on about us only losing his pressing please refer to my previous posting of the stats this season with and without Lamela. Not great reading if we're without him for some time longer.
Never understood the "we only miss him, because of his pressing" line. Don't know what "just pressing" means. For one, when our pressing game's on, we're good all over the park, players are energized and more urgent in their play; we take the initiative and ball possession from the opposition. We're basically switched on and we play a whole different, and much more positive game.

Erik's a leader that way. We've missed him

Because, no offence to the guy who posted it, but the drug story is complete BS. You choose to ignore quotes from our own manager where he says he's going through a family emergency. In fact, before the supposed drug ITK you came in here to make jokes which just goes to show the type of **** you are.

We all get you don't rate Lamela, that's fine but you seem to have a real problem with him, to the point where you'll laugh off a family tragedy and even give weight to some unsubstantiated romour which is clearly rubbish just so you can say "I told you so, I know my onions" it's pathetic mate.

In response to @GobbyJJ

Sadly, he looked drugged early in the season when he scored, it was commented on by a few here and I agreed he looked similar to how I recall Del Piero looked. Thought he looked stronger, so suspected he might have had steroids.

Hope this is not true, please coco let it just be creatine or such.

Pretty sure it was this goal, unless it was an assist:




It would fit into the injury situation, as perhaps they did some tests when he was injured and picked something up, so have sent him away on 'compassionate grounds' until his blood runs clean (hope so, as this would mean his brother is Ok also). Of course I hope this is rubbish, but he did look on something early season.

Goddammit, I need to stop visiting this thread. Every time I go in here, I start asking myself if I have dropped about a pound of acid and hallucinating all these shitposts. Sadly, I have not.
