On what basis though Scott? Thats the thing.....you never claimed any of those things when was fit and playing.
Yet you deny being influenced about his mentality by the bullshit rumours.
The hip operation proves a lot. For one, his injury is confirmed, so people can stop saying it as "injury" followed by "maybe he has mental issues who knows" and other such crap.
Maybe Kane has mental issues.....but no one mentions that for some reason. Could it be because there are no rumours flying around about him having a drug problem.
Any reason in particular why we should give a shit about this particular bloke's spewings on Twitter?
We been through all this. I told you lots of reasons why. I can't be assed to go over it all again.
Actually, I said that stuff about his mentality & where he is best suited over a year before those stories came out.
& if you want to falsely believe I believed stories about crack & him being depressed because of his dog dying then that is cool with me.
I really can't force myself to care about what strangers on the internet think.
Ok, I thought lamela ran off to a crack den somewhere. Or insert what ever you like.
Still won't admit schmood being predictable I see.
Anyway, not going to get in another long argument with you for everyone's sake.
Bye.

...You not seen the full tweet when he continues on "....And bollocks to all the hysterical, media-baited twats that doubt me.... Fuck ya'll!"
I think its because Lamela has liked it
It seems the people criticizing anyone for speculating are now openly speculating and deciding certain things are true.
There's no evidence the club denied giving him surgery when it was obviously needed. In the early days everything pointed towards a minor injury.
There's no evidence the surgery is anything other than exploratory to try and find the source of his pain, and we could end up back where we started if nothing is found.
I think the attempts to turn this into a "Victory for Lamela's hip day" are a little premature.
I agreed to stop speculating and coming up with theories and I think those on the other side of the debate should do the same. We simply need to wait and see.

Best types to sell to.Man City... Now there's a financial model I can get down with!ochserious2:
unless you only sell to teams who have financial models you can get down with.
I think you are wrong again but too arrogant to admit it.
I am wrong. You wont drop dead.
...And all of which during the paradise-era that was AVB/Timmy.
ochfacepalm:I'll admit, in a sense, when we signed him it felt like we were signing a timid boy, yet he's long since revealed one of his key traits is his fire/tenacity.
Finds out its not some phantom pain caused in his hip by depression.
Asks for all speculation to halt.
:eriksenlol:
ochlol:
:vert:
No one is saying he is cured, but we have proof that he is injured and concrete news from the club that SHOULD see the back of some of the pathetic shit being spouted about the guy, and put the ridiculous rumours to bed.
Its not a victory for his hip whatsover, to anyone, least of all Lamela. He is the biggest loser in this, because his preferred treatments have failed. Why would anyone celebrate that.
Maybe some wish he was pictured in an opium den as not to look as silly as they do today
Sarcasm aside, in City we are talking about one of a handfull of clubs of such a profile....
Play ball with me for a mo'....
MAR 17 - Having missed most of this season, Lamela: "I'm having surgery"
JUL 17 - Played no competitive games for Spurs and is declared for sale.
Cue: Barca, Real, Bayern, City or Utd (who always have 'the pick of the litter') swoop with say £15m(*)???
(*which doesn't buy proven ability in his position since the last TV money hike.)
...Doesn't amount to much of a plan on our part does it?
We know what he can contribute when fit.... Given his current situ (and contrary to the reasoning of some) especially because we're entering the final year of his contract; I'd say he is worth more to us than any fee we could realistically expect to be offered (further still, if you consider what we actually have invested in him as stands)...
In my "arrogant" world, injuries are simply an occupational hazard. Meanwhile, I trust the club to handle the contract end of things right... This simply allows me (in my "arrogance" of course! ;o] ), to be patient enough to simply look forward to the return of a player who has proven to be of the caliber we currently require.... Without plotting his sale for the sake of some token dosh that will be a mere blip to our transfer kitty whilst we are sat on far more sale-able assets... (GKN/N'Jie/Bentaleb/Sissoko.... Players with lower ceilings, yet are fit & capable of raising similar fees).
Aside from the nominal financial gain in said scenario, shouldn't we as a club be showing a little more commitment to our injured players if we them to give it all for the shirt.... (...And for below market wages too! lol )
What if you're Toby sat their pondering your new contract?
What if you're a international compatriot or former team-mate of Erik's and Spurs are desperately trying to sign you?
...If not, then what for simple humanity of the situation? Think of yourself in the workplace... He's not skiving and deserving of a 'tough shit!' attitude... Anyone thinking that Lamela wouldn't rather have been playing all season is nuts!
(Aside: Peeps wanna chat 'depression' an such things.... Sell a player on, contrary to their desires, whilst injured and regardless of how much they earn that's a fast-track to depression/break-down/etc. for the average player right there!)
A likely story. I bet the other three say "I am a drug addict." 4/6 "I miss my dog" 5/6 and "I'm off back to Roma in the summer and I can't wait to put my nightmare time in London behind me." 6/6
This is something nobody can answer sensibly.
Who on earth is going to buy him now, or in the summer? He needs the surgery, to get fit again & to then play some games before anyone will go near him. By which time, he will probably be offered & accept a new contract. He will be back in a Spurs shirt & i for one am very happy about that.
Tottenham Hotspur FC should clarify the situation whether good news or bad. They should put a stop to all the nonsense reporting and opinions form all. Nip it in the bud now. Because other clubs will get to know, if its a serious injury, it cant be for that reason.
My feelings, they are keeping it quiet because its a discipline matter (here you go, another opinion?)
