No worries, just racking up the price for Sunderland
I'm pretty sure Spurs already gave Brian Lamela a job as technical director due to his twitter prowess.
Why Why Why. How would it benefit you or I as a fan if he was sold for £50million. We wont see the money. It just weakens our team and lines the pockets of Levy & Co. Bale, Modric, Berbatov etc etc etc. How many more examples do you fucking need. I dont care if they offer a billion quid. I do not want to see the club I love sell their best players every time a fucking big offer gets put in front Levy`s nose
I don't think selling Lamela at this stage would be anywhere close to our selling Bale, Modric, or Berbatov. Those 3 were proven players and world class. And I agree with your sentiment on them, even if we all know the sad reality. Lamela, at present, only has the potential to be world class. I know he's looked good this pre-season and he clearly has natural talent, but he's no guarantee. Are you saying you wouldn't consider a ridiculous offer for a player that has yet to prove they are world class?
EDIT: Before you get fired up, I don't want to sell Lamela and I do think he will come good. I am just trying to be reasonable here.
You make a good point except for one flaw. The purchase of Lamela was founded by (at least partially) by the sale of Bale. It is hard to make the case that we can't sell our best players because we don't reinvest the money in new players, when the player we are talking about was purchased with money obtained through the sale of our best player.
Yes, even if we were offered silly money, I would not take it right at the moment.
Right now we need Lamela far more than either A: we need the money, or B: the time spent to find a replacement.
Fair points you make. Again, I do hope we keep him.
EDIT: Wait, I am being far too kind here....FUCK YOU!
Don't really have an opinion myself, just curious to drum up a little thought on the matter
Centre-back dreams.
Is he going to be better than Caulker?
