Lamela

[Mullers]

Lets not blame the lad for anything to do with the move.

I'm very upset with the powers that be, regarding Lemala.
When I see our biggest purchase 'ever' looking so uncomfortable on the pitch, I worry as a fan.
He was identified as a €30m purchase, €30m!

Looking at our purchases this summer he really sticks out like a sore thumb, as the others, other than down to injuries, have looked good buys. So what happened?

I'm not impatient. I will give players all the time in the world to settle and improve and yes we will 'have' to give him time and I have to be honest it could be a long time.

Lamela's purchase for €30m 'concerns' me greatly, we are not a big enough club to right off these type of galactico purchases like Chelsea, Real or even Liverpool.

Talking about these type of subjects is not whinging, kneejerking and definitely not, not backing one of 'our' players.

Franco/Roma/€30m?

Soldado has already been panned by people for hardly scoring in free play, Erikkson started well but has faded a little bit lately, Holtby who has taken his place, was written off by many last season.

You say you will give players all the time in the world but yet you are not doing that with Lamela. You've written him off very early. It could be that we don't see the of Lamela until next season. Like Modric at Madrid.

Except the difference is that blocking Lloris' path to the first team was a decent, aging goalkeeper. Blocking Lamela's path to the first team is a top class young winger who has been one of, if not our best, player this season and is undroppable at the moment. Or you could argue that Eriksen and Holtby stand in his way in the #10 position.

Eriksen is not blocking his way. He can play LM. Lamela should go straight in at number 10. Holtby is not in his class. We are not creating anything. Our most expensive signing can't get into our team that scored 1 lucky penalty in its last 2 home games against very average opposition. I know a couple of Roma fans who are shocked that Lamela is not getting into our team. It makes me think hat AVB didn't want him in the first place.

Erik needs to play like Modric did last year for Rael. I dont see it happening with current frailties in the first team performances. AVB want 4th, I can't see him jeopardising this for anything. If we fade and look like missing top four by a long way, Erik may well then be accommodated.

Erik is to some extent a victim of circumstance. A bloody expensive one.

Its why I thought short term loan just to get game time (I agree it does sound a little barking) - But I don't see the odd cup game being of use personally, it will just confirm what we know. He's lacking match fitness and confidence.

You would have thought that any club prepared to spend £30m on a player will expect that player to be instantly used. I'm pretty sure Baldini and Levy saw this, but AVB is seeing something else, which to be honest is his prerogative.

Every player needs to show he is worth a place in the starting 11. The fee has nothing to do with it.

Can you honestly say Lamela has shone in any way since he has been with us?

Its unfair on other players just to put Lamela in the team because of his fee and it doesn't send out a good message to the squad. I want Lamela to succeed as much as the next fan but he needs to show he is ready before he is given a start.

Apparently this does not apply to aaron lennon, so that kinda blows that theory out of the water.

 

[Spurs_Q8]

it's similar situation to Redknapp - Bale..
It was the only period where i didn't accept HR as our manager, he was about to waste a huge talant for us, and now I've the same issue with AVB over Lamela..

He react with Lamela is a player new to football..
New to EPL? yeah at least he was fit against Chelsea and Chadli wasn't for while (and New to league) and also Lennon was out for 2 months and still plays more !
He gives Lamela some cup mins, and take him off in 60-65 .. WTF !!

you love it or hate it, you need to select the best players, since their attitude is good and fit..
that's fit Lamela, and i don't care if AVB lost his job tomorrow..

although team is doing well, but that's down to squad depth and skills..
last year we struggled at home vs the likes Norwich, West Brom, Wigan, Fulham and almost fail vs Southamption and QPR..
this year might happen again.. with embarrassment against crap club at home 0-3.. and almost waste it yesterday..

Lamela can easily take any AM position or even as Saldado backup..
He is better than most players here, he had 1 good assist in EPL in short time..

 

[JollyHappy]

I'd love to see Lamela in the no 10 position against Hull on Wednesday. It's the prefect game to try it out as far as I can see.

Lennon has been at the club for a number of years and is an established first team player. Lamela hasn't even had one good game for us EVER.

Wait for it ....wait for it.... Cardiff. He did a good pass.

Bull shit, what has he shown?
your quote not mine back it up.

And Lennon?
Hes done what exactly?
To start over chadli? why?

I don't particularly rate Lennon but he has less to prove than Lamela. He was part of a team that finished with the highest points tally ever in the prem last season.

I will repeat - LAMELA HASN'T EVEN HAD ONE GOOD GAME FOR US

 

[danielneeds]

After Ronaldo obviously Modric provably along with Isco has emerged as Real's best player.

I would Diego Lopez has been right up there too.

he hasnt played one whole game for us, so that might be a little hard, dont you think?
Lennon should fight for his place in the 11.

He's started nearly every cup match and hasn't shone. There is no way AVB can justify putting him ahead of others.

As I have said. The reasoning behind Lennon's start will be due to his performances last season under AVB. He is a trusted member of the team. Lamela needs to earn that trust.

Until Lamela performs in the starts he is given in the cups as Holtby has then I don't see AVB starting him.

If you fail to understand this logic then I really do despair.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

I think you have hit the nail on the head, Roma was his home. Feel sorry for Erik.

Yeah, it must be a real nighmare being him. All rich, and young, and good looking, and playing football for a living, and living in the finest city in the world, (sometimes) playing for the finest club in the world. yeah, the poor poor bastard!

 

[Ghost Hardware]

We should give him a run out in the number 10 role, no one is making it their own at the minute

Exactly this, Eriksen has been dipping in form every match he plays and at the moment I am surprised more fans aren't jumping on his back as much as Lamela's. Obviously Lamela cost a lot more but some people on here don't want to see him anywhere near the starting line up but still want Eriksen to be our number 10 despite some rather lacklustre performances. Personally I think Lamela should be given a chance behind the striker and Eriksen should be moved to the left. At the moment I don't see why Eriksen should be ahead of Lamela in the pecking order, I think they will both come good if they are given enough time on the pitch.

So Chadli started to show promise in the cup games as you stated.
Lennon nicks his place on last year performance where had no competition for the right wing.
Comes in and looks garbage against sherrif.
Where as Chadli scored 2 and actually looks a better player than lennon on the left.
if thats your idea of logic its certainly twisted to say the least.
And lamela has actually contributed more than lennon so far this season.
if lamela has done nothing thats not saying alot for lennon is it?

I agree that Chadli should have least been on the bench.

FFS! CAN YOU READ??? Do you really want me to repeat what I have already written??
