For 6 months at least, in order to get more playing time? Would they agree to come to Palace? Would such a player help Palace score a lot of goals? I'm no manager (like you guys always remind me ), but I reckon they really could. I was looking at Lamela's value and it has dropped considerly after his injury. He's now rated at just 20 million and even a South American team like River is thinking they could get him (news appeared this month, though he responded that he's not ready to go back to South America just yet). Pochettino still appreciates him and has welcomed him back, but with Son and Eriksen in great shape on the wings and Lucas Moura a great substitute and even Dele Alli or Sissoko able to cover there, Lamela might find his options limited. Stranger loans have happened for PL players who wanted minutes, Sturridge just last year to WBA. 28 goals and assists for Tottenham in 3200 minutes in the last 2 years, definitely the best of the players in the title and the hardest to get. Would only be a short stay until the summer as he wouldn't want to stay here permanently and I don't really like getting players we can't buy (they leave a hole for next year), but maybe if the situation is desperate after the holidays we should push for a move... Only problem is that his injury could return, though he has looked great since coming back: 6 goals and 2 assists this season alone.
If not them, then at least try to get Spaniard Cristian Tello from Betis. Strong as an ox, 29 goals and assists in 5500 monutes the last 2 years for Betis and Fiorentina, could have done more if not used as wingback sometimes. Raised by Barcelona. Valued at just 6 million. 7 goals and assists this season alone for Betis in the La Liga and the Europa League.

Lamela is better than Lucas. Spurs don't have a great squad. No chance they're letting Lamela go, especially on loan.
