Fault? Have I ever said it was Lamela´s "fault"?
He was supposed to be more than 1/3 of the player Bale was. That was the context.
Of course things like injuries influences things, but did anyone ever see a top class player in Lamela? He never showed any of that potential in my opinion.
Not that he has been useless. Definitely not. And he will still be useful if he stays.
Well this all started because people were complaining he was meant to replace Bale. If that's not an expectation of top class I don't know what is. I have the same opinion of him as you do. I think he's a useful squad player and now and then he hits a good vein of form that makes him a starter for a period. I'd sell him this summer though.
