Agreed, I’m a huge fan of Coco and even I think “average to good” is an accurate description of his performances this season.
I also happen to think an “average to good” Lamela is a big asset and well worth keeping hold of.
With:
Eriksen
Alli
Son
Lamela
Moura
...making up the three behind Kane, I think we’ve got every base covered. They all offer something slightly different to each other, all can play different roles in different systems, and would be more or less effective against different types of opponents.
I see absolutely no reason to change any of them, I think we finally have the perfect attacking midfield options in our squad.
We need to sort out our CM in the summer, not worry about whether we swap out Lamela.
Average to good doesn’t cut it, Lamela has been here for 5 years purchased for big money and to give us an edge he is rarely good enough to provide. I would sell him along with Llorente & Jansen for one attacker of calibre who would eradicate a host of varying deficiencies.
