I see both sides of this. On one hand, yeah fans always tend to think that unavailable players are exactly who we need to step it up etc. etc. etc. On the other hand, Lamela at his best would truly be a great fit. We have seen that we are vulnerable when our high press is suffering, and Lamela could change that. I think we also are one super-fit player away from releasing more of the potential in the squad. Missing Wanyama, Dembele struggling, players looking jaded etc. etc., I think a fit Lamela swiftly would carve out a solid spot in the match day squads. He would indeed instantly get a lot of playing time.Can’t believe the Lamela before Dele chat. Lamela has become our Wilshere, the longer he’s been out injured the better player he’s become. Once fit he’ll be amazing, just what we need blah blah blah. I want him back but he’d struggle to get past a place on the bench given out fit starting 11 now imo
