Have to agree with most of your post.Sorry but Lamela has no pace..no close control in tight area's or faceed with beating players one on one. No presence on the pitch and to be honest is a very average player. Bulking up a kid that didn"t even want to come to the prem in the first place will not suddenly make him R7.. If someone can tell me what they have seen to warrant us paying 27 mil for him is beyond me. Gio Do Santos has done more in a Spurs shirt. And he was terrible
Fact is he has not got pace.
He has not shown much in the way of ball control and repeatedly kept knocking it too far in front of him.
He is/was far too weak for PL football.
He was not worth anywhere near what we paid for him.
However I cant believe we paid that much for someone who hasnt got something special in his locker (Bloody hope not anyway),
If he strengthens we may get to see it but I dont think anyone can put hand on heart and say we've seen anything at all yet in a Spurs shirt.
Heres to hoping it works out.
