Player Watch: Erik Lamela

[Ossie85]

erm... He's argentinian- I think they could know something

I am Argentinian, and follow that account. The journo is Juan Pablo Varsky. He has his personal account (https://twitter.com/JPVarsky). Varsky Sports is an account he opened to report everything sports related from Argentina. He doesn't manage that account. 2 guys manage it, and they report things that appear in newspapers all over the world. There's no inside knowledge. And I know this for a fact, because I personally know one of the guys that manage that account.

Juan Pablo Varsky is one of the best sports journalists here, but he's not someone that reports about player transfers. He writes and talks about tactics.

Spurs and Roma are discussing payment methods and bonuses aspect of Lamela deal according to Di Marzio

Sky Italia just mentioned it is a six year deal worth 2.5mEuros and rising each year.

Okay took a bit of digging. He's called Coco because his little brother couldn't say Erik and would call him Coco. So it stuck.

And I believe this because my son's godmother is called Coco because he couldn't pronounce her name

My brother couldn't pronounce my name either so my Nick name '****' has stuck with me all my life as well.

It's going to be a bit award when he goes up against Arsenal in a few weeks...



AVB is discussing tactics to his new winger, as it is his big day, his EPL opener.
"Okay Coco, I need you to cut down the line"

Wilshere is listening in, attempting to foil the plan. But... he for some reason loses it.
"Co...co?! Line?!" Jack grunts to himself.

AVB gives Lamela a pat and the back and says, "Enjoy yourself, and play your natural game."
Lamela runs off, Wilshere follows him.

Lamela looks back and sees Wilshere following him and says, in spanglish, "Go tu rata."
Wilshere seems unaffected by these words. He continues to follow Lamela, who is now getting a little nervous.

Ramsey sees all of this taking place and yells over to his teammate, "Jack, Jack... JACK!!! What are you doing mate?! Cool it, kickoff is about to start. You need to get over here"
Wilshere seems unresponsive to his teammate's words, as he begins ferociously attempting to tackle Lamela.

Lamela is, at this point, running around the field, terrified, as he realizes something is wrong with Wilshere, very wrong. He now seems obsessed with the boy, and is sprinting after him, foaming at the mouth and clawing at his back.

Lamela screams in terror, "Aléjate de mí!!!" He is running as fast as he can, but Wilshere is catching up, running faster than he has ever before.

To Lamela's terror, Wilshere finally manages to bring him down. He is pounding on Lamela's back, yelling, "Coco!!! Jack need Coco!!! Line.... of.... Coco!!!!!!!!!!!"

Players of both teams are now surrounding them, and it takes 4 players, working together, to pull Wilshere off.

An argument erupts.

Wenger has witnessed all of this, and he quickly runs over, carrying a very suspicious look on his face.
He yells over to the group of players, "Let me take him, I can help."

Wenger pulls out what appears to be a small bag of smelling salts, with which he calls Wilshere over to, "Here boy.... c'mon Jack, here boy!"
Jack quickly perks up, pushes everyone aside, and runs over to Wenger.
He grabs the bag and sticks it up his nose. A sigh of relief draws over his face.

Wilshere then quietly walks over to Lamela, bag still up his nose. Lamela is laying on the ground in a state of shock.
He offers him a hand, and offers apologies, "Sorry mate, these things happen sometimes."

I thought that tweet was about Willian?

No. Question turned to Lamela mid chain.

 

[Cavehillspur]

No. Question turned to Lamela mid chain.

Ahh okay, good stuff I was wondering when I seen it posted in the ITK Daily Thread Hopefully get Willian wrapped up tomorrow and then sort out the deal for this chap, exciting times.

 

[YiddoInPoland]

The only thing that concerns me is if this talk is true and Lamela is Bales replacement that we could be gazzumped because of being dicked around by madrid.

No e of the ITKs have mentioned him in any detail, and JJ just said if Bale leaves its a possibility. Its been a great summer so far but if Bale goes the we need someone to slot in for him of somewhere near the qualitu level. This guy looks class but my knowledge of his is limited to youtube

Lamela-Tottenham, si tratta ancora: le ultimissime http://fb.me/6sbu7GvYZ

From his webpage via google translate:

Lamela-Tottenham, it is again: the latest

Article published Thursday, August 22, 2013 at 00:02 - Football , Rome .
lamela pp.
Erik Lamela at Tottenham, it is yet. Today was the blitz in Spain Argentina's entourage, who meanwhile was presented at the Olimpico against Roma. The agreement was almost reached an agreement several years from 2.4 million per season to rise. However, there is still no agreement between the clubs, because Tottenham have offered 30 million plus bonuses while Roma asks for 35. And there is not even an agreement on the payment, the company would like red and yellow in 2 years while the English club would prefer in 4-5 years. The parties continue to talk. Lamela, meanwhile, is training with Roma.
