Who does he start ahead of when his competition is Son, Eriksen and Dele?

What a ridiculous thing to put.
I've seen Son play in games where you wondered if he'd ever kicked a ball before.

I’m happy with this news , if he can stay injury free his a nailed on starter in my view.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A nailed on starter? Really?
If we're honest he isn't that great. He has 10 goals in over 100 appearances for an attacking mid.
I'm content with keeping him as he can be a useful squad player but I really would have expected a better player after 5 seasons given the improvements shown by others. As I keep saying about him, he's never shown a period of fantastic form before, whereas Son, Dele, Eriksen all have. What you get is a 7 out of 10 performance maybe once every 3 games, at best, and after 5 seasons I'm past thinking that's ever going to change.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry Spurtle but I disagree, the season before he was out for a year he was fantastic. Proper team player who puts in a shift regardless of the result or goals scored. His passing and vision is top notch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think he gets overpraised by Spurs supporters Eddie. A player that appears to get better in his own absence. I remember supporters saying how we missed and needed him when he was injured in that season, when we actually didn't, we coped just fine.
He's never been a real game changer or match winner. Just someone who has so far only been good rather than great and never puts in better than a 7/10 performance when he does put one in because while he does good things, like puts himself about, he also frustrates with decision making and needless fouls.
He hasn't kicked on in form the way the others have, even before his injury, so I don't see that he'll ever be a regular starter, unless we get struck by injury.
I would say his performance v Lesta was more than a 7/10 Tbh

I love Lamela`s work rate, he never hides on the pitch, even when he is not playing his best, he contributes goals, assists and aggressive closing down.
He also called Wheelchair a pu55y, which is worth a new contract alone

Yes but when Son has a stinker he literally looks like he can't play the game. As you say though all players can have bad games or loss of form, injuries and suspensions so plenty of opportunities for Lamela.
Happy days!

Oh ok, I didn't get to see much of that one.
Anyway Lamela definitely isn’t a nailed on starter but he’s a great back up and well worth persisting with.
We have enough rubbish to move on this summer without worrying about Lamela
Lamela is a great player to have in the squad. He can cover several positions and has a goal or two in h9m as well

Yeah he has his consistency issues and sometimes he can be attrocious but conversely his performance vs Stoke last season was one of the best I have ever seen from a Spurs player. Also in terms of goals and assists Lamela’s best season doesn’t even come close to Son’s - yet both have their uses (Lamela more useful in tricky away games).
It may be an unpopular opinion based on some of the reaction, but signing two decent players in the prime of the career on long contracts *IS* a good thing

I agree with Hengy, Lamela is not anywhere near the worse player to have in your squad. He can be very useful on his day.

Lamela better than Son? Are you mad?
Son scores a lot more goals than Lamela, but for ability I reckon Lamela is better. Both offer plenty when on form.

WE should all be a lot more concerned with Sissoko and Llorente still going to be kicking about when they are filling positions that need better quality options for us to improve

Fair enough each to their own even though I don’t know too many people who prefer Lamela to Son. They are both the types of options a team like us should be aspiring to have. Will be interesting to see if Moura has enough to usurp either.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ability is quite vague though because one certainly has more ability when it comes to finishing, and attacking play in general.
In terms of flair, I can't say there's much difference other than a rabona goal.
Lamela has better passing, vision and creativity whereas Son is faster, more ambidextrous and a better finisher with better movement. Very different players, both good. Son's far greater output makes it hard to argue against him being better

Remember the little ball Lamela dinked through for Eriksens winner at City? Son can only dream about having that kind of skill and vision.
As I say I'm glad they both signed. If you are away at the Emirates you call on Lamela and if you are at home to Wycombe in the Cup you play Son.
Both very different players. Son better goal threat. Lamela better creativity and I remember we played some of our better games with Lamela initiating the press. Read some quotes from the coaching staff including Poch which they say his energy being great for team. I think we all can agree that Poch knows better than all of us to which players he trust and are vital to the team.

What about Son's assist for Dele in the 2-0 win against City? He was superb that day and got MOTM, and was in great form overall. In the same game Lamela missed a penalty, one that Son wanted to take.

I’ve seen Lamela, Dele Alli, Eriksen and literally every other player in the world do this. What is your point? That a footballer can have a bad game?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes but when Son has a stinker he literally looks like he can't play the game. As you say though all players can have bad games or loss of form, injuries and suspensions so plenty of opportunities for Lamela.
Happy days!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah he has his consistency issues and sometimes he can be attrocious but conversely his performance vs Stoke last season was one of the best I have ever seen from a Spurs player. Also in terms of goals and assists Lamela’s best season doesn’t even come close to Son’s - yet both have their uses (Lamela more useful in tricky away games).
It may be an unpopular opinion based on some of the reaction, but signing two decent players in the prime of the career on long contracts *IS* a good thing
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I completely agree and I'm glad they have both signed I just happen to believe that if he can stay injury free Lamela is the better player of the 2 (especially in grudge matches).

Lamela better than Son? Are you mad?

Son scores a lot more goals than Lamela, but for ability I reckon Lamela is better. Both offer plenty when on form.

WE should all be a lot more concerned with Sissoko and Llorente still going to be kicking about when they are filling positions that need better quality options for us to improve

Who does he start ahead of when his competition is Son, Eriksen and Dele?

What a ridiculous thing to put.
I've seen Son play in games where you wondered if he'd ever kicked a ball before.

Fair enough each to their own even though I don’t know too many people who prefer Lamela to Son. They are both the types of options a team like us should be aspiring to have. Will be interesting to see if Moura has enough to usurp either.

Ability is quite vague though because one certainly has more ability when it comes to finishing, and attacking play in general.
In terms of flair, I can't say there's much difference other than a rabona goal.

Lamela has better passing, vision and creativity whereas Son is faster, more ambidextrous and a better finisher with better movement. Very different players, both good. Son's far greater output makes it hard to argue against him being better

Remember the little ball Lamela dinked through for Eriksens winner at City? Son can only dream about having that kind of skill and vision.
As I say I'm glad they both signed. If you are away at the Emirates you call on Lamela and if you are at home to Wycombe in the Cup you play Son.

Both very different players. Son better goal threat. Lamela better creativity and I remember we played some of our better games with Lamela initiating the press. Read some quotes from the coaching staff including Poch which they say his energy being great for team. I think we all can agree that Poch knows better than all of us to which players he trust and are vital to the team.

What about Son's assist for Dele in the 2-0 win against City? He was superb that day and got MOTM, and was in great form overall. In the same game Lamela missed a penalty, one that Son wanted to take.
