Just waiting for that leaked press picture of him to appear on twitter in front of the cockerel

Solid signing this chap at a remarkably decent fee...(remember, Andy Carroll cost £30M ?)

Akin to a certain Michael Carrick... I'll probably get slated for this, but hey ho, isn't this is a forum for opinions and the like.

Never been that impressed, but now he plays for us I’m going to get behind him- at least until about ten minutes into the first match thread on 12 September?

I’m waiting until his first cross finds the first defender

Be a shame for him to go but understandable given his injury record. Be a big gamble for someone to take on especially when money is so tight

The club are trying to offload Lamela.

This surprises me. He feels like a Mourinho type player to me. Seems relatively content to be a squad player and he can be trusted to come in and be a nuisance to the opposition when needed.

It does feel like it’s time to move him on though, and there are attainable, younger upgrades available right now. How long does he have on his contract?

Sad times.

Although I rate him hugely I know he hasn’t set the world alight consistently - but one of the only players who has approached everything, consistently, with a tenacious, exemplary, hard working attitude since he came in. I’d really miss him in our squad.

If we're looking to offload him then we're trying to make room and raise funds for another attack minded player.

Ally Gold mentioned that despite Vorm and Vertonghen leaving we have still hit the foreign player limit with Hojbjerg because Foyth is a year older too. Makes the likes of Lamela potentially expendable.

I expect we'll try to offload a few foreign players and if that's not possible it wouldn't surprise me to see us focus attention to more home grown options.
