One reason I love Lamela: I’d fucking hate him if he weren’t Spurs. And I think a lot do. And he’s Spurs through and through. If you had to put money on a player doing a Zidane on someone for getting rough with Eriksen, who is the favourite? Lamela for my money.

With proper guidance from Poch, Lamela might even morph into a box to box midfielder. We can then fill the starting eleven with Kane, Eriksen, Son, Alli and Lamela.
It will be very difficult to replace a player of Lamela's attributes. Hardworking, top attitude, decent attacking ability, good assist/goals stats, tough tackling, affordable wages, relatively young, loyal
His ball control and dribbling is a bit similar to this legend. Interesting to see how he would look like as b2b CM.

Well, I don't think there could be 2 different opinions about his "special attention" on Fiberglass. This was GOLD! This little cu*ty weasel had no idea what hit him 
Though as Lamela's overall impact on the game, I feel it might have actually been better yesterday. There were some cleaver flicks and quick passes, but generally we tried to put together too many passes in front of their box, and in all honesty, none of those passages did result in very dangerous moment. Our goals (and even good chances) actually came from the wing or from the midfield (or from long distance shots for the matter of it). Few times he was close to do smth special but JUST ABOUT fell short of it - either pass was seen through or did not make it to the ball fast enough.
I hope really soon he manages to execute those "almosts" into "oh, wow" 's. Clearly the attitude and willingness to work is there. Hope in next games (or latest next season) the confidence in front of the goal will be back and he'll help us to great achievements!

This x100
He shows that fucking rat zero respect each time they meet on a pitch & even less professional courtesy. There is genuine beef between them & Erik just flattens the little shit time and time again. Love him.
The thought of the nastiness of a Lamela/Dier midfield breaking the spirit/bones/careers of wheelchair and Ramsey.

Always said Lamela might work as a central midfielder in a 3.
His tenacity, close control and pressing would do really really well - but I don't think it'll ever happen. It's such a different position to play than what he's doing now where he floats all over. Dembele/Dier/Lamela as a midfield three COULD work, you have Dembele holding the ball and keeping possession, dribbling through the press. Dier breaking things up and Lamela just being a dickhead hunting everyone down like a possessed Kante.
I think people forget because the press avoids recounting the events of "the Battle of the Bridge©". The conventional narrative is "Spurs lost their rag", but in truth, Chelsea spent 90 minutes trying to goad and cheap shot their way to victory. And Fabregas was a major instigator of the game ending brawl by dick punching Pochettino's staff on his way by, along with some choice Spanish remarks.
Lamela, unlike Vorm, didn't back down and chased Fabregas down the tunnel, trying to take on the entire Chelsea squad. Coco doesn't forget, nor does he forgive.
Does this poster know where on the body the elbow is???? Wally!
Fibreglass is such a weasel shit cunt, he’s the type of prick to start something, but be the first to run away as soon as someone stands up to him. He’s deserved it every time Erik has left his foot in.
We need that bite in our team and we have it with Lamela and Dele.
Vertonghen and Dier too.
