Sell and buy Eze as his replacement. Yes when he’s fit + firing he’s class, but he’s clearly injury-prone and how often do we see him at his best?

Sell. Mentally he’s lost it

Sell for anything around £20m!
Which I think is a realistic fee given how many still rate him & his age.
We need to be looking at younger & hungrier players like Eze to come in for the likes of him, Yarm & Sanchez over the summer— Steven McCarthy (@StevenMcCarthy9) April 15, 2020
Sell without a moments hesitation.

Should West Ham be looking to sell Manuel Lanzini in the next transfer window?Yes, he's not good enough
No, he'll re-find his form

Over the duration of the Premier League season so far, the 27-year-old Argentine has been the 12th-best performer for David Moyes’ side with a 6.65/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
To earn that rating, Lanzini has managed to bag only two assists and zero goals in 19 league outings (per WhoScored), seemingly leaving many West Ham fans to decide that they’ve seen enough.
He was brilliant that season with Payet… but it turns out so was everyone else… because they were playing with Payet.
He is overrated and probably finished at the top level. That injured ended careers 15 years ago.

Would pay someone to take him, at least that way Fornals might actually make it onto the pitch

What do we think?
Judging from the responses of these West Ham fans, some are pretty set in their opinion that they believe it would be best for Lanzini to depart from the London Stadium.
With a current market value of £14.4 million (as per Transfermarkt), getting a fee around the £20-million mark as one fan suggested may be a tricky task.
