Player Watch: Erik Lamela

[Lemon]

i thought your post was out of order dude. Wasn't even funny if you were trying to be. It was ill timed nonsense after that moron posted the earlier bit on failing a drug test. Understand you may be a Lamela fan but seriously why do you want to contribute to the toxic bullshit in any way.

Wasn't meant to be funny.

Because, sadly I think it is plausible that the rumour has merit, that's all. It was interspersed with 'hope not' several times.

 

[DCSPUR]

Most toxic thread on SC.

@Archibald&Crooks may want to shut it down - but 100% up to him

 

[Charly***]

You go Charly*** way to ingratiate yourself with the pack.

As said a few times, Raymond Verheijen is critical after the fact, making him appear an expert in hindsight, personally I relayed my concerns just BEFORE the spates of injuries, and gave physiological insight into why I think the injuries are happening.

Your posts on conditioning of the players are fair enough and add insight to the forum. In my opinion you could use a little humility rather than present these as opinions rather than cold hard facts where you're right, everyone else is wrong and there's no middle ground. After all these posts are your conjecture, you don't have all the information available to you, just some observations. You may find your ideas are better received this way. Just my opinion.

However even alluding to one of our player using Steroids based on very little other than your own conjecture does not warrant serious debate and you should be careful about making such potential spurious insinuations i.m.h.o.

Thing is Coco is my favourite, I was supporting him alone, virtually, until @jezz took over the defending mantle. Doesn't stop me thinking objectively about the sensory information I receive.

People are acting like if we post anything about him looking like he might have taken something, it means the drug police will track him down in Argentina and say "a couple of posters on a forum said..."

Get a grip everyone.

You need to get grip, accusing ppl can have a snow ball effect on their life. Sometimes you need to think before you post.

Agree with the first paragraph, almost entirely.

Second paragraph I also kind of agree, but this is a forum, I'd thought it early season but made no comment. Sorry everyone is soo upset. But I am prone to being blunt.

Saw the guy getting pilloried for passing something on, and thought he didn't deserve such stick, as he clearly said pinch of salt and that it was tenuous etcetera.

ASL? Princess?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

OK it stops now. The childish insults, the cock jousting and the drugs stuff. All of it.

Thank you.

Awww awww awww

Ok, my bad.

In response to @GobbyJJ

Sadly, he looked drugged early in the season when he scored, it was commented on by a few here and I agreed he looked similar to how I recall Del Piero looked. Thought he looked stronger, so suspected he might have had steroids.

Hope this is not true, please coco let it just be creatine or such.

Pretty sure it was this goal, unless it was an assist:




It would fit into the injury situation, as perhaps they did some tests when he was injured and picked something up, so have sent him away on 'compassionate grounds' until his blood runs clean (hope so, as this would mean his brother is Ok also). Of course I hope this is rubbish, but he did look on something early season.

Why is everyone getting apoplectic with Lemon for just voicing an opinion on this.

I've actually described Lamela as looking like an effeminate gazelle on PCP previously, I could easily believe the kids dabbled. Hope not obviously but let's be honest, it's rife in sport and we are sticking our heads up our arses if we think it couldn't possibly happen to one of ours.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

So Lamela's brother could be in all sorts of shit, meaning Erik needs our support, but let's accuse him of being a drug cheat instead.

You know when I asked that the drug stuff stopped? It wasn't code for lets slip a bakwell tart up nanah's snatch.

I would post this in the Lamela thread but it's locked and I didn't know where to put it.

Personally, really happy to see him back. I hope he can add some more creativity to our team.

Our Saviour

 

[widmerpool]

Excellent news. Hope he's benefited from the rest and comes back pressing like a madman.

 

[Shadydan]

Oh, the drugs must have worn off @Lemon

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

We're not having any sort of drugs talk. At all. I'll re-open the original thread and merge this one into it when I get back in the office, but right now lurking in a dimly lit supermarket car park dressed as Santa and exposing myself takes priority.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

OK there's a need for a thread on the guy so we're re-opening this in the hope that people have calmed down now.

There will be none of this drugs bollocks either, I don't care how good you think your source is or how big you think your old chap is or even if your starsign is ****, if anyone tries to start that up again, well, even if it is the season of goodwill you won't find much heading your way..........'kay?

Could do with him scoring goals and playing well too

 

[The Apprentice]

He's been injured.

We've missed him massively.
