Hearing the gaffer’s response to journalists wondering what the truth is with Lamela is beyond parody.
“Lamela is linked with different clubs and it’s so difficult for me to understand. That was so strange to hear.
“It’s a player who has not played since October and all that he is suffering in the last four, five months – do you think that he is thinking to move? He is thinking to go to Italy? He is very happy here.”
Happy, I bet he’s soiling himself with joy.
£65,000 a week to occasionally answer the phone and mumble ‘My hip, it is no good, Mr Fawlty’ must be the best job he’s ever had.
Poch is in equally good humour.
“But I think it made me laugh, every time I hear all that in the media, because it is impossible for him – impossible for the club, impossible for his agent, impossible for his people – to think about moving. Where?”
This wild speculation that makes you chuckle so heartily Maurico is down to the abysmal and it has to be said, completely unconvincing guano that THFC has served up to excuse the our recording signing going MIA for what is now what, seven months?
Mind you, if Poch thinks this is funny, wait until he realises what his transfer budget is in August. He’ll be pissing himself.
