No Stomach for the fight:
"Erik Lamela’s Tottenham career looks all but over after his father revealed the player is desperate to quit White Hart Lane.
Lamela only joined Spurs in the summer as part of a club record £30million deal, but he has struggled to adapt to life in England.
And despite Tim Sherwood previously shrugging off speculation that the 21-year-old could leave on-loan this month, Jose Lamela says his son is desperate to leave.
‘Erik is not happy and wants to go back to Italy,’ he told the Italian media.
‘He has been linked with Lazio, but I don’t know anything about this. Could he re-join Roma? I don’t know.
‘Tottenham does not want him to leave in January.’
Lamela has made just nine Premier League appearances this term – and was previously linked with a transfer to Inter Milan."

Hard to see a way back from here. Devastating news. In flashes you can see what a ridiculously skilful player he is.
If it has to be, then recoup anything over £20m you can and move on.
Not good is it? On the other hand he is contracted to play for Spurs and Levy won't settle for a knock-down price. If the story is true then Lamela's unhappiness really can only be cured on the football pitch, and unless Tim picks him we'll never see that talent fully realised in a Spurs shirt. I don't think we should give up on the boy just yet but he needs playing time.

Yeah who knows what's true and what isn't.
Brian Lamela responsed to a couple of tweets last week saying that Erik is happy at spurs and isn't looking for a loan move or something to that effect
And it must be true because it's in The Metro.
Are you saying a man that looks like this would lie????
A Roma fan was saying today that Lamela was seen predominantly as a striker at Roma. They played 4-3-1-2 with Totti behind Lamela and Osvaldo. It was the right side of the front two.
What do the rest of you that have seen a lot of Lamela say? Sounds like he could have easily partnered Soldado up top

Lets not let the facts in the way of this witch hunt, but the lad has been injured for the last 2 weeks.
