This thread was a fucking disgrace for the longest time with posters making up bogus rumours about his absence. The baseless disdain for Lamela drove them to slanderous statements. Only those of us in the very small minority have ever always supported Lamela.There are very few of us that can claim to have backed Lamela for his whole time here (I absolutely have, and nobody will be able to find proof to the contrary - even the mandem in the COYS WhatsApp chats I'm in). Some of the stick he's received has been genuinely gross and some normally level-headed posters became absolute twats when discussing Lamela a while back. Seems to have settled now, with some accepting that he doesn't have to score 100 in a season to be a good player.
