I quite like him, but he definitely has to be moved on. Such small niggling injuries keep him out for months at a time, and is totally useless as it stands.

You've gotta love him. But yeah, it's got to the point where he's a wasted squad space for most of the season.

Should have got rid a few seasons ago. I've no problem with the guy and he works hard but he's always lacked quality and always has injury problems.

unfortunately he is loving life at the club despite hardly playing so is unlikely to move. Really is a waste of a squad place and Non HG player. Injuries around the same time every year is just ridiculous. Need a squad upgrade and he's a player we can sell to free up foreign player spot.

Should have been moved on 2 seasons back, no value at all, be difficult to sell also just taking up space in the squad

I think even if we offer him a free transfer it would be worth it. We would at least save a few million quid a year on wages. Time to move on and get a homegrown player in or ideally promote an academy player to fill the squad player role.

Agree with the above.

Would never have him in the starting 11, but useful as an impact sub I guess. But time to move on 👍

It`s a shame he is so injury prone, I love his work rate, commitment, shietehousery and love for Spurs.

For me it is the injury problems that make me want to get rid of Lamela. If he was fit for 90% of the season he would be an extremely valuable player.

Feels harsh getting rid of someone because they can't stay fit but there is very little loyalty in modern football. If Real or Barca wanted to sign him and triple his wages (hypothetically!) I'm sure he'd be off in a shot.

Don't mind him as the 25th man in the squad but if it's a choice between him and Dele it's a no brainer

I love Lamela but no point if he cannot stay fit.

A good player and useful squad member when fit, which is barely ever, thus making him a waste of time, wages, and squad space, sadly. Don’t see who would buy him with his injury record though.

Sell Alli and Lamela and buy Dybala

will be a shame to see him go, but the time's probably come.

if he didn't play RF or was homegrown then maybe room could be found but as it it's hard to see how he can say.

will be sad to see him go if he does though and hope he gets some better luck for the rest of his career.

It's at least 2 years past time to call it a day with Lamela. There's a point at which hoping he'll one day get over his injury issues becomes pure delusion.
