Linked with us today, all you FM experts, etc, what is he like ???

He makes the heart sign. One of the clan.
Very unlikely we'll sign him.
Would take a 25 to 30 million fee imo though the Baldini element is interesting - what does he know? Clause, Roma need the cash? Still a highly unlikely transfer.
We have a better chance signing Villa than Lamela tbh.

how long as he been with Roma? would it have been Baldini who signed him - might give us an edge...
also you say he can play off the striker - could he play in a front 3 with Bale and a central forward?
On 6 August 2011, Lamela joined Italian Serie A club Roma for a fee €12 million, plus €2 million in bonuses, which was activated after his 20th club appearance.[3] Roma also paid an additional €3.2 million to Orel B.V. — plus 10% added value if the player is later sold above €12 million — and €3.06 million in the form of taxes to the Government of Argentina.
I've just seen this guy on youtube as I'm not really an avid Seria A watcher. There is something about the way he plays that reminds me of RVP. Is that a fair comparison?
One of Baldini's boys isn't he?
Erik Lamela is probably the one player in world football who could replace Bale if he left. He's very similar to him IMO.
He's well out of our league now. I think Madrid might end up going for Suarez + Lamela, instead of Bale.
Not even on the same planet in terms of ability/end product/skill or pace.
Ability? Debatable. He isn't a kick and run player like Bale, but he's a better dribbler with the ball.
End product? At 21, scoring 15 in 33 in Serie A is no mean feat. Sure, Bale scored absolute worldies but lets see what Lamela can do in a few years time.
Skill? Lamela beats him in that department
Pace? Bale beats many a player.
Bale is definitely better than Lamela, no one would deny it. But I have no doubt Lamela can easily go on to be one of the best footballers in the world, especially if someone like Real Madrid or Bayern Munich were to buy him. The guy is ridiculously good.
Never seen him, but he looks like him in that picture....just has spikier hair!
wow, just wow.
