In defence of him, playing under 3 managers in his short time cannot help, especially as they have utilised him varying roles.
He seems to be expected to do a fair bit of defensive work, which he is awful at, so the system doesn't really suit him either.
However, even Gervinho looks a world beater at Roma, so you should take Lamela 's for there with caution.

I tend to think Lamela will become a success with Spurs because his attitude appears to be spot on.
We've seen glimpses of his talent, but when things aren't going his way he hasn't hidden from matches and tries to make a difference. For instance the fact he even attempted the rabona shot, let alone pulled it off, when he was having a bit of a stinker fills me with confidence it will work out for him.
I'm also pretty sure there were photo's of him doing extra training post matches last season, by himself. He seems to have the right attitude and has the talent, so I am prepared to give him less flak than someone like Ade.

Trevor Sinclair scored and amazing goal once.
Lamela is trying too hard, he needs a PL goal desperately to settle him down
