Lamela is such a waste of money. For the same price they could have bought so many better players.

Lamela is such a waste of money. For the same price they could have bought so many better players.

For the price they paid, Spurs would have expected an instant or quick impact from him, but to say he was a waste of money is ludicrous.

He hasn't hit the ground running as he, the club and the fans would want him to, but it sometimes takes players a while to adjust to new surroundings and settle; especially South Americans. It's a completely new life, teammates, surroundings, food, culture and language, it's certainly not an easy thing to adjust straight away.

This is the kind of knee-jerk reactions in football today that are making the game a joke, nobody seems to have any patience anymore.

He's not a bad player at all though from what I've seen of him prior to joining Spurs, another Argentine who failed to show his true worth but who was a world class player was Juan Veron. Perhaps it won't work out for Lamela in England, but he'll go on to have a good career regardless in my opinion.

As poor as Spurs have been, City have been great, they really do have the players to tear most teams apart. Their squad is scary.

Spurs SHOULD have expected a ready made player for that price. Look at Hazard, he cost the same amount and he went to Chelsea at the same age, and performed very well in his first season. They're both similar sort of players. In my opinion, he was never worth the money - or not at the time they bought him, at least.

Anyway, it's not just Lamela who's playing awfully. Soldado has one goal in open play this season, and that seriously isn't good enough for a 26 million striker. Not even mentioning Paulinho, Holtby and Capoue. They've all been awful too. The only great signing they made was Eriksen.
