He's a bit marmite. Love him or not. He was above average last season. The season before that we barely saw him because of a back injury and this season he has a hip injury. Barely seen him. The issue here isn't, will he play for us again? More the fact that I don't think he has bought enough to warrant staying with us. Im going to upset the pro lamela camp and say I haven't missed him. He doesn't bring enough to make him missable. He infuriates more than than he makes me salivate. I don't think he is fast enough. I don't think he can shoot well enough. And I don't think he can pass well enough. He's our player and if he stays i will support him. But he certainly isn't someone I will pine for when/if he goes. I remain unconvinced he is what we need. However i would like to eat my words as I want all players to succeed at this club. I just can't see him pushing on like Bale did. And yes I get that he isn't bale. but I just don't see what the fuss is about with him.

Disagree bingo: For every disagree rating this post gets from now on I'm doing a shot.

11 goals from midfield last season but can't shoot well enough?

11 goals and multiple assists last season. Works hard for the team, is always running. Yeah no big miss at all... :/

sorry league table says we haven't missed him? As I stated before I just don't rate him as highly as others. I don't care how many internet disagrees I get, That's my view.

I didn't say I hate him and I want him gone. I explained my reasoning. That's my view. agree or disagree.

And again just to reiterate my point. he's missed basically two seasons of football. and had one good season.

No, league table says we have a great manager and decent squad which have compensated for his loss.

I see the FanBoy club have got stuck in. Same childish bunch who will not tolerate any differing view other than the one which they espouse.

Someone told me on here they have Lamela fantasies. It pretty much makes sense. Lets see who gets more negs. :sneaky:

His hip ffs nothing else!!
With so little feedback from the club, over the time of his absence, there's no surprise fans have been speculating wildly. It's all they've got.

Club could have fed little nuggets to manage negative surmising.

Disagreeing with a point of view is not childish.
Calling people "fanboy club" is childish.

I didn't put disagree rating on anyone's post who's point I disagreed with? I responded with my views and got 10 disagrees for a balanced view. Sorry a lot of it is childish. I couldn't give a shit about the ratings they don't bother me. but respond to a post rather than just hit the disagree button.
