hmmm i'd probably need to read the full story of that quote about kinnear to judge, just seems like the kind of story that's going to be about now, imagine there'll be a lot of disparaging stuff floating about

Calling Lamela a flop is extremely harsh. Started 2/3 league games all season due to no fault of his own. Not his fault that AVB simply refused to play him and that he's been injured since Sherwood's came in and we've started to actually play attacking. Said it at the start of the season that it will take at least a season before we see anything even resembling his form at Roma, but the pricetag clouds logical reasoning and too much is expected instantaneously. Understandable, but harsh, nonetheless.
A disappointment, yes, I've been disappointed myself, but to call a 21 year old who hasn't been given a proper chance yet, a flop? After 6 months? Triggers already been pulled back.

The only other people I'd consider being bigger flops right now are Fellaini, Jovetic, Soldado and Van Wolfswinkel. The first two have been injured for ages so I wouldn't even include them.

Osvaldo was a flop.
Lamela is not, yet.

tbf to Lamela, from about November (or when his family moved over for a period) the games he played in he looked like a very good prospect and probably warranted a start in the next game but avb never bothered.

i think last season inflated people's perception of Lamela, tbf. Let's not forget that he played under Zeman. Osvaldo scored 16 goals last season under Zeman

Now that is a tough one, Lamela has been a disappointment but due to his price tag I declare that he is indeed a FLOP!!

Erik Lamela is fast becoming the flop of the season y'know. Thought he would be class as well (still could be for all we know). complete madness considering lennon and townsend are both very good players in that position already settled in the squad and country, a buy for tge sake of buying but more time when we spend big we fucking waste,modric was worth the money but none of the other big money players have been
