I think you've nominated yourself as the designated match thread starter in that case!

Until things go horribly wrong then we can all blame Devo. DL is safe we have a new scapegoat.

This doesn't sound good...

No Stomach for the fight:

"Erik Lamela’s Tottenham career looks all but over after his father revealed the player is desperate to quit White Hart Lane.

Lamela only joined Spurs in the summer as part of a club record £30million deal, but he has struggled to adapt to life in England.

And despite Tim Sherwood previously shrugging off speculation that the 21-year-old could leave on-loan this month, Jose Lamela says his son is desperate to leave.

‘Erik is not happy and wants to go back to Italy,’ he told the Italian media.

‘He has been linked with Lazio, but I don’t know anything about this. Could he re-join Roma? I don’t know.

‘Tottenham does not want him to leave in January.’

Lamela has made just nine Premier League appearances this term – and was previously linked with a transfer to Inter Milan."

Played in an organised friendly today v Charlton. So did Holtby.
Spurs won 10-6, both Lamela and Holtby scored. Obika scored six.

Devo from Dublin · 08-01-2014 5:19pm

I think we should keep him but do with him what we have done with other youngsters, ie Walker,Caulker,Rose, Livermore..send them out with gaurantteed Prem Football every week. Holtby to for that matter.
Let them come back in the summer with the Prem experience ready to rock.
I was listening to The Spurs Show podcast this morning, and one of the guests was saying that , he was in Argentina 3 years ago watching River Plate and this young lad was running rings round everyone, and the locals and natives were saying he's their new Maradonna, this lad then went to Roma!!!!:eek:
We CANT sell him or loan him out of the EPL!!!!

Heard the podcast alright this morning. Surely putting Lamela out on loan is a complete disaster. If he is put out on loan who ever approved the purchase should be ****ed straight out the door after him.

Fully agree. You don't spend that kind of money on a player and then send him out on loan (unless you're Chelsea).

We already paid the 30m but that should not stop us doing what is firstly, best for the club and also what is good for the player. If loaning him out is the right thing to do then do it. It didn't work out yet, sometimes these things are instant success other times not so. I don't think someone should automatically be sacked if he is loaned out.

Personally I would not loan him out til he has got the chance to play a half dozen full and consecutive games for us.

Leinstersqspur · 08-01-2014 9:02pm

He needs a few games, loaning him out is not necessary. He is a class above Walker, Caulker, Rose et al. He played a full season for Roma last season in Serie A and banged in 15 goals. He needs a run of games, he should be started at home to Palace, away to Swansea and if he shows form in those two at home to City.

nbar12 · 09-01-2014 2:35am

if he's going to be loaned out it should be to another premier league club who are maybe battling relegation

Sugarlumps · 09-01-2014 8:53am

Loaning out a 30 million player is farcical. Just play him, even for 20 minute bursts coming on as sub until his confidence grows. It's the only way he's going to progress in this league.

davycc · 09-01-2014 7:38pm

if he is fit id start him for the next 5 games in a row and he will be absolutely flying by then im sure...needs actual real game time to grow..10mins here and there isnt worth a fook to him overall...only way he will show his true abilites will be by like this imo

everdead.ie · 10-01-2014 10:16am

Both his father and brother have both said he's not going anywhere in January so he's here for a bit longer anyway hopefully he gets some more game time.

He'll have to put the work in and fight for his place if he's to make the World Cup.

Hopefully we see the best of him, I think he could be great for us!

everdead.ie · 10-01-2014 3:22pm

OK so Lamela doubtful according to Michael Bridge in twitter.

Devo from Dublin · 10-01-2014 4:25pm

FFS..getting really p1ssed off with this Lamela saga..

From now on, he's known to me as................Pamela!

Sugarlumps · 10-01-2014 4:34pm

In fairness were decimated with injuries, to me there seems to be more injuries than ever, and that goes for all clubs. And considering you can barely make a tackle these days, what with all the latest technology to enhance recovery it's worse than ever.

Change of system to incorporate Lamela & Chadli.

leonards · 13-02-2014 11:30pm

It's all gone very quiet on this thread! What the plan do you think? I'm hoping he plages in EL...

irishmover · 13-02-2014 11:32pm

He's out for another 6 weeks with a back injury isn't he? So don't think there's any plan for now

tippspur · 14-02-2014 12:01am

Something fishy about all this Lamela injury stuff.
