A Tottenham insider has allegedly spoken about the future of multi-million pound misfit Erik Lamela and claimed that the club are looking at a summer swap deal that would bring AC Milan’s Stephan el Shaarawy to the club.

Our record signing has been absent with a prolonged injury that nobody seems to know too much about and with no date set for his return, the Argentine’s time is running out if he wants to make an impression in this campaign.

The ‘insider’ is quoted as saying,

“It’s no secret that Lamela hasn’t settled here and if we can do this deal that might be the best for everyone.  El Shaarawy is a player we like and he could strengthen an important area for us and give us a few more goals.”

El Shaarawy is similar to Lamela in almost every sense. They are the same age – 21 – both can operate on the wing or up front and the two men have similar scoring records in Serie A. If the source is correct then it’s clearly felt that El Shaarawy can adapt better to English football but as with so many of these stories, the ITK element to it has to be debatable.

  1. cant wait to see what sherwoods team is thurs cant understand why hw restered players thurs last its our best chance of winning a trophy ?

    my team would be

    LLORIS
    WALKER KABOUL VERTONGHAN FRYERS
    LENNON DEMBELE SANDRO TOWNSEND
    ADE SOLDADO

    ITS SHIT OR BUST WONT MAKE TOP FOUR SO MAY AS WELL GO ALL OUT AND TRY TO WIN THIS CUP

  2. I know top 4 looks a long shot now but we should not by any means give up! Look at our run in, we still have a shot but the players and TS must believe it! Every international we have should be playing out of their skin for us and for a chance of making their national team ready for the world cup. We have a squad more than capable of still fighting on two fronts, it all comes down to TS to get things right tactically.

  3. Nabs is gonna be a star when he matures his game…no doubt….erikson should not be on the bench!! Thats silly and scandalous. Our left side in chadli….mmmmmid rather have townsend there with his pace and natural left foot….for me id have..
    Lloris
    walker verts cheriches/kaboul rose

    lennon dembele paulinho townsend

    Erikson
    Ade

    i think with paulinho and erikson pushing forward and providing support to ade aswell as the creative aspect the both have wed start scoring. Ade and paulinho can head a ball well…..townsend and lennon are pacey and can cross a ball….dembele is hard as nails and can keep the ball at his feet like glue …he supports centre mid and preferably cheriches with his ability lkie verts to get slightly forward and support the mid would boost our attacking options no end….

  4. When robby soldier starts poppin some in ade….robbo and erikson attacking with lennon and townsend on either wings……i think were on to a winner….we just need everyone fit again!

  5. What a load of cobblers!! We couldnt afford sharaways wages? Our best bet is to try n win uefa cup. Top four is impossible now and our players better start showing their worth tonight and rest of season. Knaughton did a good job last week against dnipro winger konoppopodopodopdopdos!!!! For 3/4 of game anyway. My predicted team lloris, knaughton, vert, dawson, fryers, lennon, sandro, paulinho, dembelee, townsend, soldado.

    but would prefer dawson out for kaboul but think hes injured, and eriksen in the centre playing please.. he deserves a chance as playing well. Good luck to soldado tonight, hes a quality player and needs a bit if lady luck. Come on spurs u can do it!!!
