Would rather we give him 10... Bale wouldn't be happy with changing his number again....What if we were to give Lamela 11? Would there be a massive shit storm?

Agree, and I would also be surprised if he would be willing to move somewhere and not be first choice... He started upfront for Italy on Wednesday, this being a World Cup year he will want maximum exposure, siting on the bench behind Soldado will not give him that.Don't think that we will pay 15m for a 2nd option striker. And we won't play 4-4-2. Unless Osvaldo is supposed to play in AMC role, kind of like Michu, but I doubt it.
Yeah I know... I was just making a joke.I meant if Bale goes. Lamela does the heart celeb with 11 on the back.

7mThese are not done deals, by the way but reported in Italy that Spurs are negotiating for both Lamela and Osvaldo. Baldini knows them well..
I would love to watch the fallout from a multimillion pound scrap over silly hand gestures unfold, in real time.
Still, shows how lamentably far neoliberalism has come - the greedy assininities of the unjustifiably wealthy so accepted that they're a spectator sport.

Thought this was interesting as some have said Roma do not need money

12mLamela I can't imagine they'll let go of lightly. And frankly, if I was Garcia, I'd be furious if they did.

See, now, I'd love Lamela. No doubt about that.
But Osvaldo is a bit strange as I don't like the idea of selling Defoe right now, but I'm fine with selling Adebayor. In a perfect scenario, we'd have a guy like Soldado, a bench option like Defoe and a younger #9 striker that we can mold.

I'm starting to wonder if our reported "interest" in Osvaldo hasn't just been to block his move to Southampton, to put Roma in a worse negotiating position on Lamela.
Good article below about Lamela's development by Richard Whittle.
Must be tempting to stick with the 4-2-3-1, we'd finally have someone suitable to play that position.
