have seen that Lamela is linked with a move to inter milan and its kind of disapponted me,
i know he hasnt set the world alight however stats suggest he could be a big player for us and whats more hes a different type of player.
admittedly he contantly seems to run into players and lose the ball, but in his defence he doesnt lose his nerve and continues to try, aaron lennon on the other hand just plays it safe and checks back or passes sideways.
looking at these stats
http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2015/04/29/report-pochettino-planning-spurs-revamp-club-to-sell-lamela-sold/
despite losing the ball often he still has the best take on rate of anyone in our team,and hes created the 2nd most chances despite being on the field for a lot less minutes than other players. hes got 6 assists and i just think with another season under his belt next year could be his breakthrough.
if he was a liability in the sense of having no work rate id say let him go but hes never shied away from closing down etc and works hard for the team.
what do you guys think would be the best solution for lamela next season and what can he bring to the team that others possibly cant..
keep or sell?
What to do with Lamela

Was our best player against the Saints. Well at least the 1st half. Give him rest of the srason and maybe 1st half of next because right now we be lucky to get half of what we paid for him.

One of the few players beside Eriksen who could pick a decent pass in the attacking third. Just needs to sort out other aspects of his game. Think there is a little hope for him still.

I would keep him, he is still only just 23 years old and is slowly improving, I can remember cries for Bale and Kane to be sold because they were not performing, and look what has happened with those two.

Billy I agree, I was in the minority who said Kane looked like he could be a player when he first started appearing in the Europa, we need to give Lamela another season. Must admit Lennons form at Everton is pretty good, he has played more centrally but there's not a huge difference in their formation and ours.

Thing is he can beat a man, he's taken on and beat more men than any other spurs player.

Sell Lamela cos he's wànk.
Loses the ball constantly, commits stupid fouls, can't beat a man, his shooting is poor, passing is poor. I can remember ONE good game and that was the win against QPR at home.
Agree with Chicken on this whole subject
Maybe not regarding his comments on Townsend. Would rather play with 10 men than be forced to play either Lamela or Townsend
Can't wait for this mass fire sale of shìt from our team. Here's hoping for a busy busy summer

He was good against Burnley at home.

Despite having a poor season he'd chipped in with a few assists and goals this year.
Certainly has more end product than Townsend and Lennon. Hopefully this year has helped him adapt and he'll produce more regularly next year.

If anyone's willing to stump up 15-20 million for him then I'd sell him. Problem is that bar Juventus, these Italian teams haven't got a pot to piśš in unless they sell a big name and will try the 'loan with a view to buy' crap.

Billy,

=======================
With respect, this would suggest we should never consider selling anybody or allowing any players to move on? Just because 2 players didn’t appear to be living up to their expectations, and then turned it around and proved people wrong, does not mean that every signing or youth team player is going to become the world’s most expensive signing or score 30 goals in a season, respectively. Sometimes we just have to accept they are not good enough and stop using a couple of examples that are quite simply a throw in the ocean compared to the majority of cases.
Just the same as because Bostock turned out to be a disaster doesn’t mean we should not ever sign any upcoming youngsters in the future. The Bale / Kane scenarios are minority cases – not a blueprint for all.
