Please ignore morning reports that West Ham fear Manuel Lanzini could be stolen away by a rival Premier League club.
One – admitting what you already know from ClaretandHugh – that the Hammers want to sign him permanently claim that the club will do so in January.
They then go on to say that the Hammers bosses have opened talks with his parent club – the UAE side Al Jazira -which is not the case because a deal has already been agreed at £8 million in the summer.
Manu will become our player if we decide to take him which has already been strongly suggested inside the club.
We were told by our best source in a story published on OCTOBER 18 under the headline: ‘Lanzini contract “unbreakable:”‘ “Please assure supporters via the site that we have a contract with him and his club and we believe its unbreakable. We are absolutely sure that it is.
“Obviously we could make the decision now or in January but why judge him over nine games or half a season when we can do so over 38.”
