Erik Lamela (announced by Roma p.41)

Re: Erik Lamela

Imagine both Lamela and Willian here for the NLD - and Bale for his last game for Spurs :D
 
Re: Erik Lamela

Bloody hell....has there ever been a transfer window like this? I remember us signing Klinsmann and thought it was a joke, but this is incredible. Potentially Lamela and Willian, on top of the four that have already signed.

If these two are as good as everyone is saying we are gonna be in for one hell of a ride this season!
 
Re: Erik Lamela

Sad to see him go but if those to are as good as they're cracked up to be then the team this summer will have improved massively

Agreed. It only takes one injury to Bale and we are f:::ed all season. Better to spread the risk in my opinion.

Bale = 6 new 1st team players (willian, soldado, capoue, paulinho, chadli, contraeo)...lokking at it like that....trade of the century.

And as Statto says , we are only £20ish million net spend over AVB's reign (deals completed so far)
 
Re: Erik Lamela

Ive seen Lamela a lot, as I follow Roma in serie A. He is one hell of a player, and thats a promise. Not as strong physically as Bale, but not light weight. I think he's better with the ball to his feet. Good vision, scores goals from close and long range. His pace is not like Bales, but not slow. And, he has a truly brilliant left foot. Often playes as a free man out right, but drifts inside a lot (like Bale in second half of last season). Was the shining star in a Roma team that was dissapointing last season, and is just 21.
Willian I havent seen that much. I saw him against Chelsea in the CL, and he impressed me a lot. VERY quick feets, eye for a pass, and could put in a few goals as well.
The only question I have is how long they need to adapt to the PL. But if Bale is going, I cant see many players avaliable to be better signings for us.
 
Re: Erik Lamela

Text from a mate whose an Arsenal fan: "Lamela's team in London to negotiate with us. Not Spuds! You and Liverpool can fight over inferior Willian".

He claims it's from some Gooner ITK (I imagine their ITKs are about as reliable as ours... so expect Lamela to sign for us today :)

Hmmm interesting.

The Baldini factor still makes me think he is here to talk to us.
 
Re: Erik Lamela

@dimarzio (same Italian journo claiming Bale to Madrid is done at £93m including £15m for Coentrão) also said Lamela doesn't have permission to talk to Spurs, apparently.

Do you have the direct quotes from him?

From his twitter https://twitter.com/dimarzio:

Quindi anche la @OfficialASRoma è a Londra con entourage di #Lamela. E non in vacanza, suppongo. Attendiamo sviluppi...#calciomercato

So also is in London with @ OfficialASRoma entourage # Lamela. And not on vacation, I suppose. We await developments ... # transfers

Article from him http://www.gianlucadimarzio.com/calciomercato/tottenham-accelerata-per-willian-e-lamela/:

Gareth Bale al Real Madrid. E il Tottenham è pronto ad investire tutto per altri calciatori. Il trasferimento del gallese alle merengues frutterà alle casse del club inglese circa 93 milioni di pounds. Per questo, c’è stata un’accelerata per Willian, per il quale sono stati offerti 35 milioni di pounds ed è stato superato il Liverpool, concorrente diretto di questi giorni. E c’è stata un’accelerazione anche per Erik Lamela, che può andare in Inghilterra. La Roma è a Londra. Il Tottenham si scatena.

Gareth Bale to Real Madrid. And Tottenham is ready to invest around for other players. The transfer of the Welsh Merengues will yield to the coffers of the English club about 93 million pounds. For this reason, there has been accelerated for Willian, for whom they were offered 35 million pounds and was passed Liverpool, a direct competitor of these days. And there has been an acceleration even for Erik Lamela, who can go to England. Roma are in London. Tottenham is unleashed.

The Baldini factor makes me think the same thing. Along with the fact that there's been no mention of the Lamela-to-Arsenal thing anywhere in the press (that I've seen). I imagine every team has their little cohort of teenage "twitter ITKs" and this theory probably came from one of Arsenal's... 50% guesswork, 50% wish-fulfilment, 100% attention-seeking.
 
Re: Erik Lamela

No, the no-permission thing was second-hand, in one of @spurpanyol's tweets, and he didn't provide a direct link. There's a suggestion in the Willian thread that Baldini is meeting Sabatini about Lamela, though, so, even if it's true, it can change...
 
Re: Erik Lamela

I always think this sort of information ultimately benefits from a lot less fine-graining. Think I'll just take a look later on :)

Ok, cheers, was just wondering since I couldn't see that comment on his twitter :)

And yes, it can change :)
