No Axel. Is Brian really his brother? I thought that was all a big hoax

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Yeah. A guy on the Internet pretending to be someone he isn't apparently...
It's not that big a problem, plenty of players and even managers don't speak the native language when they move.
Pochettino made Southampton awesome last season whilst speaking through a translator.
Only the highlights and yes I knew he came on for 10 minutes. I was talking about his first start for us
I thought Adkins was doing a superb job there and that it was madness to sack him mid season.
I do stand by the point, but there is no denying the new guy has come in and taken them up a level - huge call to make by SCBC but clearly the right one
Yes, many words have been eaten on my part too. Apparently the board put a lot of time and effort into sourcing who Adkin's replacement would be before he was let go and his sacking was all about trying to achieve progression rather than bailing the team out of a bad situation. Which sort of sucks, but as you said, you can't deny it's paid off so far.

New Tottenham Hotspur signing Erik Lamela suffered a terrifying ordeal on the eve of his White Hart Lane debut after his brother was kidnapped by armed carjackers and held for ransom.
Lamela, 21, who joined Spurs from Roma for a club record £30 million, came off the bench late on as Andre Villas-Boas’ men secured a 2-0 win over Norwich on Saturday.
However, the Argentina international’s preparations for the big occasion were hit on Friday night with the news his 18-year-old brother Axel was taken at gunpoint in their nation’s capital.
The criminals kidnapped Axel from his BMW in the Vicente Lopez area of Buenos Aires, according to reports in Italy. Axel was held prisoner for several hours but released once a ransom of 5,000 pesos (£550) was paid.
It is believed the kidnapping was not due to Axel’s high profile footballer brother but simply because of the expensive car he was driving.
The younger Lamela’s mobile phone was used to call his family and demand the ransom; he was released on Friday evening once payment was received.
Erik and Axel’s older brother, Brian Lamela, said: “They told us to get the ransom money and make sure the police were not involved. They came to our front door to collect the money.
“They did not cover their faces and the security cameras at our house recorded them. My brother is calm. All of us think it was a random incident -- they simply kidnapped him for the car and nothing else.”
Clearly kicking themselves when they realise they kidnapped a footballers brother and released him for a mere £550.
Glad he is safe and well though.

Didn't see the game
How did he look when he was on?

Damn sexy
Creepy as always.
He only had about ten minutes, but he had a couple of neat little touches, got a great reception, hope he can live up to the hype. Don't think the lingo thing will be a big problem on the pitch, he only needs to know a few to get by, and using his eyes is much more important than using his ears when actually playing!
Loved that moment at 1:26.
the norwich player would have been shitting himself, not because a guy worth as much as their whole team is coming towards him, but because of that stare that lamela has

I've had two avatars on here, VDV and Bale. Both left, changing to this beautiful man.
Thought I would just share that
