You are probably right sadly regarding Lamela.
I have always thought he was an important member of the squad because of his creativity. However Alli has developed a lot over the past year in this regard and Grealish will give us more in that department. We've could have a couple of alternatives to Eriksen now.
I'd be more accepting of Lamela leaving if Grealish arrived, but I do still think his work rate and aggressive nature could be sorely missed. We will need to think carefully about it as you need those characters around the squad.
Lamela is 3x the player.
We'd be going backwards if we sold Lamela and replaced him with Grealish.
