I'm one of his biggest critics and most of that is down to injury record and the frustration of cocking up a large number of counter attacks due to holding onto the ball too long/not getting his head up.
However when he does have a run of games and form he's useful; so I'm on the fence of he's by far not one of the first I'd be getting moved on (although there have been times when he would've been) that being said if a decent offer came in that means we can improve at CB, RB and CM options then I'd listen to it (on the proviso that the other deadwood is moved on too)
Then again if he's okay with his squad role and doesn't want the moon on a stick to re-sign I'm not mad at it except he would then be an ageing player with an iffy injury record and he doesn't tend to heal quickly as it is so I don't think it'll speed up with age so we could end up with a sick note that's impossible to move on. Also I've no idea if any of his injuries would prevent him passing a medical anyway.
Final thing with these splinters in my arse; I've always felt that Argentine footballers players coming from abroad to the PL always work out best if you have at least two at a club, so if keeping Lamela in the squad keeps Lo Celso happy then he's worth it (unless we sign another or we keep Gazza or Foyth)
All very much my own opinions you're allowed to have your own.

but we've not played Wednesday in 20 years. And the way they're going, it might be 20 more.
