Hypothetically might he not be purchasing another home in the area? Just because some of the belongings are going abroad doesn't mean he's leaving right? As a multi millionaire he could have another home abroad to send belongings to?

You could well be right! I’m indifferent TBH.

No clue if it's accurate, but the idea of a Lanzini sale to fund players we need more isn't crazy.

He's still got some value given his age, and that a club may think he'll continue to regain form but he's behing Fornals and Anderson right now for us (at least he should be) in terms of performance, and if he's on the wing there is Antonio, Snodgrass and soon Yarmalenko in competition.

Given current form, salary, position. He is one of the obvious names if you're looking to sell to buy.

But strange of Moyes to stick with Lanzini through his utterly useless displays at the expense of Fornals, only for Lanzini to be sold in the window.

I would sell him for sure. Wouldn’t get more than £10m for him though.

Not if the plan was to sell. After injury clubs would want to see a player playing minutes. Keeps him in shop window. Can't see him going personally

I don't know much about Piatek at all but from what I'm reading on the net, he's a fox in the box type. Does he have much in the way of pace? Because that's what we're missing.

He's a Lewandowski lite. In almost every regard I'd say. So no, not particularly quick.

Apart from the Payet season, Lanzini has by and large been meh to me. Loose on the pass, weak in possession and inconsistent. This season he has been really awful. Zero confidence. Scared. Even his ball carrying skills has deserted him after his injury. Eclipsed by Anderson, Fornals and even Snodgrass - he is a luxury we can't afford at the moment and I would not be surprised if he was sold to fund the rebalancing of the team.

Should consider changing his nickname to La Fantasma (The Ghost)!

Agreed, he's annoyed me for years. Absolute liability.

He wouldn't necessarily get any input into the decision
