Not sure what is down with old Blue Steel, but something does not seem right.
My theory is this is either a Berahino situation, or an Aaron Lennon one. Hopefully the former for Erik's sake
Good point. Forgot about him. Off of him to miss the celebration. Just checked his twitter - no message either.
Fack him
He's in Spain doing his rehab after hip surgery. Probably don't want him going on a plane ATM.
Follow him on instagram and you'll see daily updates from him. Last week or so he's been on the bike
No posts from him about the Lane though?? Very odd
He's a goner

No post from Onomah either while in Japan? He going as well.
Think some are just eager to get rid

It's not an excuse it's what's actually happening
We should probably call it quits with Lamela anyway.

I'd cash in if we could get a decent fee for him but after pretty much a full season out im not sure we could.
Maybe inter will come in for him now they are apparently loaded
Send him out on loan to Bournemouth for a season,and watch him disappear into obscurity.
Cashing in on him is one thing, replacing him is another. I know we've overhauled our scouting team etc but until they show me what they're capable of I'm judging them on the low bar that was presented to them.

I reckon we could sell for close to £20m somewhere. We've worked wonders with other players.
Anything in that £10m-£20m range and I personally would offload him. We're not going to miss him much.
I would like to see him back, despite prior reservations.
I think the 2 in the 3421 would suit him down to the ground myself, close to his natural 10 position.
My hunch for some time has been to see him move to CM though, in the 'Dembele'. I think he is tenacious enough for it, and would give us a bit of passing composure in there

I know we've had a great season but let's not forget he was probably our best attacker start of season while Kane, Eriksen & Alli all started slow.
We could've done with him in the bench instead of Sissoko/Nkoudou/Onomah
Personally, I hope this is a cover story for a drugs ban.
I would prefer that, and a ban served, than a player with a chronic injury such as this
Deffo keep him as long as he's gonna be ready for next season

Inter are a mess. Their fans facked off during the game the other day. No European football yet again. I say we take Gabriel Barbosa off their hands
"Gabriel Barbosa"
That the young Brazilian from the Olympics?
As I've said before, our other attacking players have all had periods where they've been on fire, and I've never seen that with Lamela. He might have a decent game every so often with a 7/10 performance, but I'm yet to see the consistency in him that I've seen in Alli, Eriksen, Son.
To be honest it would not take much to bring in a £30m player for him who we could get far more out of than the 2 and a bit seasons we've got from Lamela, which have ever only been good rather than great.
Agree Spurtle although I'm not so sure I trust us to get a better player after last summers attacking signings

I don't know anything about him but I was thinking how we could do worse than have some South American talent in our team, other than Lamela obviously.
When you look at Liverpool with Coutinho, Arsenal with Sanchez, City and Chelsea with their SA players. They can be hit and miss in the PL but when they hit they have high ceilings.

Even though I think he's overrated, we'd get more out of Barkley than what we've had out of Lamela. Or Zaha. Players we're already linked to.
As long as we don't go for another one of these unheard of pacy wingers from the French league again.
Lamela is a vital squad member, he is now familiar with the PL and he brings goals, assists and a great work ethic also.
If fully fit he should be part of our squad for sure. There is no point replacing him with another player who may or may not fit in straight away.
