Lamine Yamal

[East Level 2]

Radio report said none of the dwarves complained. Well they'd been paid hadn't they, so someone had to get upset on their behalf.

 

[Bluemania66]

It's just a small matter.

 

[jacko74]

I don't know mate it was all over the papers.

Yes but not reported in the same tone of outrage and condemnation that this one has been, and certainly no hint of investigation or punishment by the footballing authorities.

Maybe Yamal has been up to other stuff? A quick check is maybe women have been exploited.

Lamine Yamal: Barcelona winger set to be investigated over dwarfism row

Spain's Ministry of Social Rights asks the country's prosecutor's office to investigate Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal after he reportedly hired people with dwarfism to perform at his 18th birthday party.

Didn't anyone ask the dwarfs if they were happy?

The girl who sat in front of me at the Etihad was on the verge of getting married. At half time I was chatting to her asking how things were progressing and she said her fiancé was in Benidorm on his stag weekend and they'd hired a dwarf in a gimp suit for the day

Fame and money make people do the most stupid things, because they can.

I’m sure he’s paying his correct taxes like Messi did.

Nobody complained about The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (great film!)

One of them who was quoted on the BBC article said they had a great time. Got paid, joined in with the festivities after performing, and were treated well by all present.

Brings to mind the scene in Wolf of Wall Street (no, not THAT scene with Margot Robbie!) where the stockbrokers were throwing "people of restricted growth" at a type of overgrown dartboard.

Something not quite right about his behaviour for me. I get the impression he’s got a lot of negative influences in his life, none bigger than that of his father who behaves like a classless pleb who’s won the lottery.

He’s so so talented, it’d be a shame if he wastes it or let’s the fame and off field distractions get the better of him.

Neymar vibes?

Apart from not wanting to bang his sister.

He should be the heir to Messi with his talent.

 

[doobyedoobye]

if the reports are true and that's a big if then the tone of the party looked a little "off" imo

 

[OnlyOneUweRosler]

This kid is some player and along with Pedri Barca's most important player.

However 9 goals and 13 assists surely isn't enough for a Balón Dor.

I know we don't like Liverpool but surely Salah would be a more worthy recipient.

He is a pretty good player, and tons of potential, but his stats are nowhere near R9 at the same age. Also I think Yamal could turn into a Neymar i.e., a technically gifted player who never really hits his potential.

My mate hired small people? And was handcuffed to one for the whole night at his birthday bash a few years ago.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

He's a character and a top little player not everyone can be a robot off the pitch. So what if he ends up a Neymar or Ronaldinho type it's not like both didn't have better careers than 99.9% of players

Now't wrong with that as long as you give the little fellah a reach around.

 

[feelymcfeel]

He could've just hired Gary Oldman to reprise his role from Tiptoes.

Lol.

By Small People, do you mean a Dwarf?

Sorry, but can't get that Billy Connolly Dwarf on a bus story out of my head now you've said that.
