Is this confirmed?

I have a question, will Lamela start now and has he had a good pre-season?

Yes to both

That's two questions but probably yes and yes.

"I have a question, will Lamela start now and has he had a good pre-season?"

Fantasy football query ??
Lamela has looked like he is fully fit again during pre-season and has played ok. So I would expect to start a lot more games this season.

Thanks, purely for FF purposes

I think Chadli like Siggy won't be getting much gametime, which is a shame because he's looked decent in the games he's played and is different from Lamela/Lennon and Townsend

But in reality if he was to leave we would be left with 3 widemen with Eriksen filling the last LW/Inside forward spot if needed

Holtby should feature more this season, I want Schneiderlin but at the cost of Chadli, I'm not sure

Is Lamela a cheap(ish) buy in your FF league ??

Can't we swap him for Paulinho + £15m

Happier for Naughton to go the other way.

I'd drive Paulinho to Southampton myself

£8m, similar to Miralles, Nasri ect but just below the likes of Cesc, Mata, Silva.

You have to take risks to win and I was a big fan of Lamela at Roma.

My concern with getting rid of Chadli is that we will look very light on the left hand side of our attack. Eriksson should be in the number 10 role, which leaves Chadli, Llamela and Townsend (both prefer to play on the right) as the left footed attackers in the squad. If Llamela plays right, Eriksson centre then Townsend is the only choice for the left.

Schneiderlin is a good player but I'm not sure we need him, we have Bentaleb and Capoue who are similar.

Agreed, and if anyone had watched him at Roma then they'd know he's a talent, looked like the Lamela of old pre-season, I know it's two bob teams like Celtic and Toronto, but he's more physical

Bony would take spurs up a level,

I also think he would play really well with Soldado,

Musacchiob is a brilliant player as well.

I think you are underrating paulinho as well, id give it till January until you lot judge him, he's a good player

Cheers Thudd, I'm given Lamela the nod so on your head be it

It;s two bob teams though Busbys

"two bob teams like Celtic and Toronto"

Don't put Toronto in the same level as Celtshit... Toronto are far superior

Sorry H, but the MLS just does not stand up to the superior power of Soldado and Townsend

Haha, I just have a feeling under a manager form his home country and an arm round his shoulder (not the AVB or Sherwood way) he could still come good.

You guys buying a striker or what?

Can't see a new striker coming in tbh... Think we will wait for JRod to get fit and get him as he can play left and central

We need a striker that's for sure, Adey is a tall, gangly frontman who's lazy

Soldado - Box striker, need's the ball to feet

We need a quick striker, someone with the pace of say Shane Long (but not him) to get beyond and stretch teams,

I think we're set elsewhere if other targets are brought in

Hopefully Lamela can up his game, if so Soldado may be of use.

I think Bony would be a good choice for you.

The fight for the top 6 will be interesting again this season
