[TommyGee]

Greg Stobart talking bollocks then.

Wasn't it Matt Law? He got called out brilliantly by @bankruptspurs

 

[Sweetsman]

My guy Coco coming out firing!!!!!!! Love him. Love him. Love him.

I think we missed him against City.

Greg Stobart talking bollocks then.

And not for the first time. He once had an "in" with Spurs and it seems he's lived off that (on here) ever since.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

If anything that makes me think that the reason he is recovering in Roma is solely because he's homesick...why else would he need to go out there?

 

[iddebu52]

Love this guy! He loves it at Spurs!

He's now lived in England longer than he's lived in Italy, so I would be surprised if that was the case.

I have mot really been following this thread but does he have friends and family in Italy? I have a lot of Argentine friends in Lo don and one thing is clear and that is family is way more important for them than anything. They tend to live in multi-generational family groups, love the whole extended family and feeling of being part of a close knit community. Being outside of that can make them very uncomfortable because that tends to be what they have always known

Could it be that 27 lamelas and their menagerie of parakeets and pumas live in the the apartment above uptownspur? Could this be the reason?

Exactly. He's been wide off the mark for a long time. Ever since Dim Shitwood left in fact...

If he were homesick, "home" would be Buenos Aires, not Roma

#thfc Lamela is due back tomorrow. Poch: "All the rumours don’t help him in the end but we try to advise him on being focused on recovering"

I don't know anyone that places anything over their family

You should meet my family

Can't wait for the reception he'll get when he returns. Hopefully that alone gives him massive encouragement.


I'd imagine it'll take him a while to regain full fitness, but even as a sub he could have a massive impact on the remainder of our season.
