Player Watch: Erik Lamela

[yankspurs]

Whats funny is that probably the only reason this was released today was dimarzio got his hands on one of the pictures cut from the shoot. The pr department probably wasnt too pleased with that

 

[Cornpattbuck]

He's had horrible luck in the last couple of years, but there's definitely a high quality player there. Hopefully he stays clear of injury etc this year and we get to see him at his best again. Really pleased we've given him the deal.

 

[GMI]

How about this?

Left footed but right handed. Very suspicious ?

 

[VegasII]

Good move, hope he excels this season.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Very good player to have in the squad. Glad we’ve tied him down.

 

[Wsussexspur]

Delighted we have tied him down. Real cult hero!

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

Strange, when he had the fan club on here I thought he was good but not great. When he came back last season he was imo better than before.

Good news, him and Moura on the right is great with Eriksen (presumably) going to play more CM.

We're missing one for the left (Zaha) and we are complete for attacking options.

Had a quick search of the thread and couldn't see this linked anywhere...remember watching this one Saturday morning actually...

 

[mark87]

Francis Gibbs must be FURIOUS.

Hey! That's the same for me too, punk.

 

[iddebu52]

Wonderful news for El Coco. Everywhere you go always take Lamela with you....

 

[Finchyid]

Not going to lie....am happier about this than i would be about signing martial!

 

[nicdic]

Great news. Will be like a new signing this year. Him and Lucas with full pre-season behind them is a big deal.

 

[Shadydan]

Nice!

 

[rambu]

Great news.
Wish him a healthy and good year; by the looks of things we can really use that.
Hope he can play more centrally, or even a partial CM? Depends on who we can sign I guess.

PS. His cheeks are getting more and more sunken, wonder what his body fat is currently.

 

[Spartan Spurs]

Very pleased with this news.
Such a talented player.

There was plenty of talk of him being sold in order to make room for bringing someone else in.
Still may happen but I hope not.

No one on the team plays like him.
Hope he can play to his potential. If so, it will be a massive boost to the club.

Damn, I was already so happy about this new contract, but reading your post got me thinking: why was Son given a 5 years extension and Lamela just a 4 years one? Now I'm convinced Levy only made this deal to up his price some 20, 30 million pounds.
