Should David Moyes be looking to sell Manuel Lanzini in the next transfer window?Yes, he's not been good enough
No, he can return to form |
The 27-year-old midfielder has been the 12th-best performer for the Hammers in the Premier League so far this season with a 6.65/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
However, following the club’s image Twitter post (per West Ham), supporters continued to air that they did not miss the Argentine playing for the Irons.
Lanzini missing for 2 years already. Last time saw him playing football with Arnautovic..

What do we think?
It is sad to see so many West Ham supporters react negatively to what is a nice message from the 27-year-old midfielder and a real shame to see how fans regard Lanzini.
However, it is perhaps his return of zero goals and two assists in 19 Premier League appearances this season (per WhoScored) which has left fans disappointed.
