And Robben has been doing it for 20 years, and still they couldn't stop him.

Yeah there are I agree. But the greats can all use the other foot even for one touch. Lamela doesn’t, and has got worse on that front

He's a decent player, my only concern with him is his fitness.

Is it that time of year yet again? We say having Lamela back would be like a new signing. He then impresses until October when injuries hit and he only plays bit part role for rest of year.

Good point however they are two differences, 1, Bale is a better player 2, he also had the pace that Lamela does not so could move quicker.

Anyone who gets injured in a warm up worries me
The guy is a decent squad player to have he really is but I also feel he is one we could sell for good money and get a more versatile replacement who can stay fit for more than half a season
I also think with Lamela he should move for his own progression. Back to Italy he may shine with less games for example
There's a whole world of gap between as good as Bale and the minimum required to get away with being one-footed. Lamela is well inside that gap.

Its called reading the game and IF you have pace its makes it harder for the opposing player to get to you and show you what direction he wants you to go, Llamela does not have the pace.
He has( Llamela) skill of that there is no doubt but he is SO one footed it makes it easier to read him, top defenders will usually have the edge over him.

Both Maradona and Messi also made decent careers without ever really using their right feet.

But they could use it ( and did) Llamela looks like he has problems standing on his right foot ( joke) let alone using it.

It depends what the injuries are. If your knee is screwed, like Sandro or Wanyama, then its game over.
If they are muscular, you may be able to cure the problem, like Woodgate did when he discovered pilates.
Lamela's problem seem to have been his hips, but they've both been operated on now, so there could be hope for a 5-6 year injury free period. Presumably our medical team were consulted when we gave him a new 4 year contract last summer.

Messi does toe-poke an odd one in on his right, but you'll almost never find footage of Maradona touching the ball with his right foot
Top defenders will have the edge over (almost) everyone - that's why they're top defenders. There are plenty of very good, very one footed players - Lamela is one of them.
Who needs a right foot?

Apart from the 2 goals he scored with his right foot this season of course
But what did the Romans ever do for us....................

You could show Chrissy Waddle which way you wanted him to go ...then he'd call you a taxi.

That goal was agaianst a pub team and he still wouldn’t use his right foot

But waddle was borderline world class
Lamela doesn’t get in his countries squad now

How many of them has Lamela scored against with a Rabona? Or even his right leg?
He scored one vs Leicester at Wembley I remember
I’m sure there are maybe a couple of others
