I backed Lamela last season and up till now, he's got talent in him but I'm now conceding he just isn't suited to the Premiership and will no doubt dazzle again in another league.
He wants too much time on the ball, that might be quite ok in the Italian league but not here.
We'd be best shipping him out next summer as he's decent in Europe so would do well there and I wouldn't even bother with a replacement winger, just bring Pritchard in to the first team.
Eriksen, Chadli, Lennon and Pritchard covering the wings would do me, Lennon looks like a new player and getting back to his best under Poch.
Also far more important positions to improve than buying another winger.

If there's blame to go around, I think Levy should get most of it.
The Bale money was not well spent.
And now the manager is supposed to fix the problem.

not sure how levy takes most of the blame…. unless we are assuming that levy bought all the players with the bale money… which most of us know he didnt (singlehandedly anyway)

Did you watch the game today, Chronic?
Were there more players that were "good enough"? Like Soldado?
Or is it that Lloris and Vertongehn aren't leaving?
Like they've already said so.

Other players not knowing what he's trying to do isn't because he's far superior to them and they aren't able to paint pictures like he does, it's because he spends forever on the ball yet doesn't think about what he's about to do!

yes i did.
oh you are talking on today's performance?
i thought you meant generally.
at least half the squad is the required standard for spurs. its the dross half that needs sorting out… and those members of the half that are good enough but have an attitude problem, that also need sorting out

Lamela reminds of a lad I used to play foltball with at school . He had unlimited skill but was always afraid to have a pop . I asked him why he didn't just do what comes natural ? He said he was afraid .

Spurs mate of mine reckons that the club spent such a massive amount of money on him and when he didn't meet expectation, they felt they needed a manager to get the most out of him. Step in Poch. He thinks his appointment was partly influenced by Lamela's underperformance.
Anyone else heard or buy this??

i don't buy it…. it might have been part of a reason.. but to hire a manager on that basis alone would be ridiculous

Don't buy it at all. Why would Poch get the best out of him, because theyre from the same country? Means nothing.
