With you on this 100%. People are slowly waking up to it. My only hope is Levy has seen it and sells him now before it's too late.

He cost 30 Million pounds! 30 Million! I want more than trying to put the ball into dangerous areas. He cost the same as Fabregas, or Mata, or Oscar!
We all want him to be the new superstar, and weve all seen clips of how good he look for Roma, but since he has been with us,( and please dont bang on about how he was injured 99 percent of last season, because he didnt get an injury till Feb, and we bought him in August)
He has been woeful. Weather he quickly becomes a 30 mill player, i really hope so, but people can have opinions about what theve seen of him, without being slagged off and Neg rep because what they have seen hasnt in there opinion been good.

You're expecting him to do what though? On Saturday I saw him get the ball and look to produce. Problem was the movement into space off the ball was not there and west ham were defending deep.

Im not denyinh that he's been disappointing but you sound like you were expecting a 21 year old moving to a foreign country, not knowing the language or culture to take the prem by storm. Not even Ronaldo could do that all the years ago! What Lamela needs is a string of games to acclimatise to the prem and a more fluid system with players moving off the ball. Let's see if Pochettino can deliver this eh?

Seeing as we could really do with a RCB if MM doesn't happen what options do you think we have Snarf for a first choice partner for Verts?

Ogbonna would be good but not sure he could play with Jan seeing as they're both LCBs.

I would love Benedikt Howedes but it appears he isn't too big on moving right now. I think he'd be a great partner to Jan.

I wanted Garay but that didn't happen unfortunately.

Omer Toprak is another good RCB option but he would likely cost a fair chunk of change given he was really good last season and he has a contract that runs until 2018. Really decent passer of the ball, quality defender who was really solid throughout the season for Leverkusen. He's also stated he would want to stay at Leverkusen.

It's incredibly hard to find a decent option for the RCB position that can step right in and contribute.

I think lamela takes to many touches and tries the difficult thing too often hopefully he will settle down as he is probably just trying too hard after last season.

Anyone heard anything about this Depay fella that we are supposed to be interested in?

This is going to be one of those 'you snooze, you lose' moments. Clearly we have interest, but it will be this window or (most likely) never for us to get him.

And he's played the equivalent of about 6/7 league games for us. In short, shut the fuck up and keep all your bullshit until he's had a proper season. If he's still flattering to deceive then, go wild. I neg repped ypu because you're being incredibly kneejerk and irrational.
