West Ham have finally confirmed the loan signing of Argentine playmaker who they call Manuel ‘The Jewel’ Lanzini.The 22-year-old has joined the Hammers on a season-long deal, with an option to make it permanent, from UAE Arabian Gulf League club Al-Jazira after passing his medical at Spire Roding Hospital private hospital yesterday.Lanzini told the club’s official TV channel.“This is very emotional because it is one of the best teams I have ever signed for, It is a very important step for my career and for my future.
I am looking forward to what is a new era for me. I’m very happy and I look forward to meeting my new teammates. This is a new challenge for me and that can only help in the future. It will test my ability in one of the best leagues in the world, so I am looking forward to getting started. I am someone who always gives 100 per cent. I’m an attacking player, I can change the game’s tempo and I hope to give my maximum for the fans to appreciate me.”Lanzini becomes West Ham’s eighth signing of the summer after Darren Randolph, Pedro Obiang, Stephen Hendrie, Dimitri Payet, Martin Samuelsen, Angelo Ogbonna and Carl Jenkinson also joined the Hammers.

No more midfielders.WE NEED STRIKERS!!!!BILIC PLAYS 451!!!LANZINI,SAMUELSEN,PAYET,ZARATE!!!DONER KEBAB!!!
Hahaha Navajo said earlier I had a split personality for mentioning STRIKERS!!!! IT MUST BE CONTAGIOUS!!! HOPEFULLY IT IS THEN THEY MIGHT LISTEN THROUGH THEIR EAR DEFENDERS!!!! WE NEED MORE STRIKERS THAN A BOX OF SWAN VESTAS!!!
HAHA,THE GUY CRACKS ME UP.HE HAS HAD ABOUT THOUSAND DIFFERENT FORMATIONS SO FAR THIS PRESEASON!!!!BUT WE STILL NEED STRIKERS!!!BILIC PLAYS 451!!!!! 😀
HE IS RIGHT!!! A SQUAD FULL OF STRIKERS,AN ARMY OF STRIKERS THAT CAN RULE THE WORLD!!! EXTERMINATE!!!! EXTERMINATE!!!!
Shhhhh…it’s okay, we all know you have an opinion, let me get you another pint…
CAN’T DRINK!!!!! MEDICATION!!!! MEDICATION!!!!
Don’t know what canchazitas is all about. I was merely wondering what had happened to this deal, which had been tossed around as a virtually done deal some time ago, not on here, by the way, so you might have missed all the speculation that went on.
Then, it all disappeared again.
Incidentally, on those reports he was listed as a striker and he obviously scores like one, so it might be interesting to see how Bilic uses him.
Whatever, he is the fourth signing that should actually improve and strengthen the squad. The rest are still too untried to know if they can, yet
Ahh Can be fair you do come across as a glass half empty poster but I was only joking so hopefully no offence caused
Thanks 🙂
would be nice to have a couple of experienced players as well though, but world class ones that have done it all.
Cambiasso could fit that bill!!
With you on that Eriko,I thought as a freebie Cambiaso was the signing of the season last year but we’ve got a pretty full midfield squad already. If he maintained his levels might be a better choice than Song. Could be time for us to head to bunkers lol
Thinking about the average age of the squad, we must be doing pretty good here. The only players over 30 is Nolan (will leave), Collins (2nd choice) and Amalfitano (same). Anyone else??
Another positive,well spotted Eriko. It gets better and better.
What’s not to like
Plenty of time to settle in and I am pleased we are in Europe so all these new signings can get used to each other,before the fatigue kicks in
The club have employed an English teacher to help him settle in https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H-oH-TELcLE
Nice one, he looks a bit like the karate kid.
Great signing and with an option to make it permanent.
It is one of the best teams I have ever signed for said Lanzini… can`t argue with that!
This is what I meant, must be pi**ed!
Great signing and with an with an option to make it permanent.

It’s now the third flair player(Payet and Samuelsen are looking great already) signed this summer, recruits look good and done early.
Hope Lanzini can cope with the physicality of EPL and give us some excitement~~~
Now one more striker and another backup RB please!
Im cured! Glad to say the canchazitis didn’t last long. Welcome aboard Manuel can’t wait to see your skills being deployed in Slav’s army
