Player Watch: Erik Lamela

[etchedchaos]

It's funny how many people ask Brian if he plays too He doesn't. If you're wondering.

Are you sure? Perhaps we should ask him.

Brian Lamela (Erik's brother) has just started following Spurs on twitter.

Pretty insignificant in the grand scheme, but nice.

Edit: FFS Marvel!

insignificant? pshhht.

signed. done. dusted.

Everyone needs to stop doing this, it is flat out embarrassing.

   @brianlamela I understand, just tell Erik that Tottenham will love him if he joins! Follow me brian?

Honestly, leave the poor kid alone, he has probably gotten himself in over his own head with all the questions. You are just going to be pestering him at this point.

Erik Lamela can be the next superstar.........depends on whether he wants it badly enough.....Gareth wasnt as good as he is at 21 and drove himself on.....lets see what the boy can do......but this one is the one I want.....please

Could be a superstar and he has all the ability to be as good as Bale (whisper it: maybe even better).

 

[etchedchaos]

Snarf, does he have a good right foot? Bale doesn't .

It's not great, but he won't miss sitters with it like Bale did on occasion.

Everyone needs to stop doing this, it is flat out embarrassing.

Btw I didn't flat out ask him like this fella did. But he was feeding Spurs fans with hope so they are gonna ask him

Also, here are some performances from his time at River Plate, where here played as a no 10. He would freely switch with the LW at times, so you get to see a bit of him in both positions. The videos are in the spoilers.

Take into consideration that these were almost 3 years ago.

Spoiler: Lamela vs San Lorenzo

Spoiler: Lamela vs Racing Club

 

[Curtis Peterson]

Poor kid stepped into the terrible world of football fans on Twitter...

 

[Yid]

Nothing beats Sandro unfollowing Willian following his change of heart...

That is correct, sir.

 

[ItsBoris]

Just a thought about Lamela. If he was flying in tomorrow or Tuesday to sign surely we would be getting a plethora of ITK like the Willian deal? We had a ridiculous amount. There seems to be no substantial talk of it aside from a few Italian media outlets and that being rehashed by our newspapers.

There's always a lack of ITK on the weekend.

 

[Yid]

If we close this transfer window by signing both Lamela & Chiriches, would this be considered the best window in history of our club?
Thoughts?

Certainly in my lifetime/memory of supporting the club since 1990

He has definitely improved sinced then, but it is clear to see his talent. His vision stands out in these clips and he isn't just relying on his power and dribbling which is great to see. Imagining him in our current side is a really nice thought.

Yup,
And mine since 1981.

1 thing I'd say for Erics brother is that his english is good. Hopefully that means that Eric can also speak English which will help alot in him settling.

by his tweets he said his brother doesn't speak very good English & the sweet Lamela followed me ain't that cute?

 

[ackie]

Nothing new but from Sky Italia

Fabrizio Romano ‏@FabRomano21

10m​

Lamela, 90 minutes on the bench. Now starts the right week to finalize deal with Tottenham. Travel to London, 30M€, medicals and sign #THFC

I would prefer that that says sign subject to medical

 

[Lilbaz]

As usual the closer it gets the more nervous.
