We didn't pay 30m for Bale though did we.Bale took a hell of a lot of shit and stick for quite a while from fickle fans and idiotic press knobheads.
Lamela would appear to be getting the same treatment.
Anyone with an ounce of sense expects the finished article for that price.
Thats why he's getting so much shit.
If we'd paid 10m he may not even be in the starting 11 to be honest but I'm fairly sure he wouldn't be getting as much grief.
No the fee's not his fault but I'm sorry, you cant just dismiss the ridiculous high fee we paid.
We were mugged proper imo.
Edit- You cant go paying 30m for prospects in the hope that they MAY turn out to be the next Bale. Even clubs owned by billionaires can't let alone us.
Seems anytime a young player is criticised these days some twat counters with 'well Bale blah blah blah' as if the Bale example is the norm as opposed to an exception.
