West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has confirmed what ClaretandHugh has told you for weeks – Manu Lanzini will be a permanent signing before the end of the season.
Doubts that Liverpool and others may try to woo him away have been regularly denied by us and this morning Slav has made it clear he wants to the player on board for a very long time.
Speaking at his morning press conference he said: “With Manuel Lanzini the situation is clear. He came on loan and the option is there, so we want him in the Club for a long, long time.”
ClaretandHugh can confirm the deal will be done “very soon” and has now been confirmed to us by two key sources. However, suggestions that he will arrive for £7.5 million as reported on some internet outlets are wrong.
The deal has been agreed with Al Jaziera for £8 million and we understand vice chairman Karen Brady will be responsble for signing the deal.
A source said: “The media often confuse situations but your consistent reporting that the deal will be done is 100 per cent correct.”
Big signing for us,he will be a round for many years and will grow to be one of the best in the world,when both 100% fit he and Payet will take most teams apart,
And did not break the bank and his wages are reasonable
WOnderful news. £7.5 mil. for Lanzini is a bargain. When you think that Manure paid Depay £25 mil. or City paid Sterling £45 mil… well, thinkin’ on that make me smile 😉
Good times Matte
The new boy from Germany under the Spuds and Gooners noses for nada is even better
Another victory over Lawersons Liverpoor last night no doubt he will predict a Chelski win this week
Looking good for a lot of money for are new forward
Yes bubs, good times. D&D are doing things in the proper way, there’ s a real project and investments in quality youth. BFS reign is a distant memory, dinosaurs are finally extinct, we have entered the modern age, electricity insetad of fire… lol 😀
He has us at 1-1 Bubs, and says he was tempted to tip us to win!
Ha ha , mobile instead of drum,
Can’t wait for samuleson to team up with the squad next year , he’s clearly streets ahead of the likes of moses , who is costing a arm and a leg ,
On another note. Just seen the england squad ???? I eliminated 10 imediatly , were good on strikers but defensively we will get slaughtered . The good thing to come out of this is Woy of the hotspurs will not be around after the euros , plus noble and Cressy will not be nobeled by spuds in the england camp ! Ashton comes to mind , on that front I’m happy we will not be involved in another euro campaign ,doomed to failure !
