We missed him against City, which I know you disagree with. As for the rest of the games, when we come up against the big teams he is crucial.
What are the similarities with Bentaleb, who is still a Spurs player even if he's on loan?
1) Both used the media to say they wanted new contracts, although Lamela was no where near as crass as Bentaleb.
2) Both started the season poorly, giving away possession that led to game changing goals.
3) Both suffered long term injuries and then players came in and out performed them. There's no way Lamela's getting straight back into the team ahead of the likes of Son, for example.
For all these reasons I think Lamela will follow Bentaleb out of the club in the Summer.
