Erik Lamela

Barcelona and Spain centre-back Miguel I believe.

Different uncle. Toni Nadal, Miguel's brother, was Rafa's coach...

Wow that was a waste of 5 minutes

Sinister motherfuckers, the lot of them.

And they're communists

IMO he got the rest of the season to prove himself.

I’m left handed and right footed. Genuine head fuck.

I play some sports right hand and some left. Can’t write with my right but can play sports with my wrong hand better than the average right handed.

I am ok with my left foot, I put it down to my stance.

I am the same as you and my old man is the exact opposite, Right handed but does most things with his left. Its weird but does have its advantages like snooker, I can play a shot off of both hands.

Judging by the last couple pages we're all Left right handed communists who speak Latin & parcel tongue...the joys of SC on a Monday morning.

Friend of mine is right-handed and left-footed, too. Good footballer as well. He's never thought it as odd... which struck me as odd.

It has always seemed to me that if someone is left-footed (like me) it is because they are stronger on their right (This is certainly true with me. I am right-handed and everything about my left side is comparatively weak). Being left footed means you are more able to balance, swivel, and turn on your right side: your right hip-joint is more flexible. There's a quick test that anyone can do to check this: stand on one leg. I predict that right-footers will be able to balance on their left foot for longer than they can on their right before wavering and even toppling over. Think about any approach to kicking a football: it is about easily getting your body-shape and balance correct on the opposite side to the foot you are kicking with. This is why I have always had a bee in my bonnet about the best way to coach someone to be able to use their so-called weaker foot. You teach them to balance and swivel and turn on the side they normally use to kick the ball. Teddy Sheringham used to tell a story about how he taught himself to use his weaker foot. He used to stand in front of a full-length mirror at home and kick an imaginary ball with his stronger foot. He'd note his body shape while doing this and then practice replicating that body-shape while using his weaker foot. He was therefore practicing how to balance on his weaker side: the one he usually favoured to kick the ball.

I had a dream last night that I was pals with Lamela and that in his time off with injury he had written a quite successful euro-style pop song (the title of which I've forgotten but it was catchy). He asked me if I wanted to go on a run with him and I said yes because I'm now fat after xmas festivities. I'm not technically ITK but close enough.

So, is Lamela left-handed or not?

So, is Lamela left-handed or not?

He holds his chopper in his right hand and the tissue in his left whilst balancing on his left foot. Not sure which would be dominant as catching your man goo in the tissue takes good hand eye coordination, not so hard to hold your chopper?

Could see him going by Wednesday. Loan to perm ?

I really don't think he's going anywhere this window. We'll need all the resources we have to try to make top 4.

 

[Steffen]

He hasn't returned to full match fitness yet, who would want to loan/buy him? He stays, at least until summer IMO. At least I hope so

 

[tiger666]

Makes no sense loaning him now.

 

[dagraham]

Don’t know why people’s reactions to signings are that we will immediately ship people out?

These things are a process and one injury can change everything.

 

[thinktank]

I’m a weird mix of left and right. All left footed but a complete mix with hands. I write with my left, play tennis with left but serve with my right. Cricket bat and bowl right, darts right, snooker left. It seems anything that requires power it feel more natural with my right but precision I use left. I am quite ambidextrous for some things like darts, I can use either. With practice I could be just as good with my left. When I left school I trained as a plasterer. It felt more a left thing for me but my dad was right handed and pestered me to use my right as it doesn’t really work plasterers using different hands. Within a couple of days I was just as good with my right.

 

[rossdapep]

Hercules has rejected this twice now yet people are still speculating. Stop! Lamela is staying!

Yeah but isn't he a gay drug addict?

Sounds snug and erotic

If he has to prove himself, i hope he actually gets some minutes to do so
