Ain't nobody like Lanzini

So as expected Manuel Lanzini has been released. The 30-year-old has given good service to the club and leaves some fine memories, not least that epic piledriver in added time to secure a 3-3 draw at Spurs during lockdown. He also scored a stunning consolation goal at Man City and netted with a lovely bit of control and half-volley at Crystal Palace in 2021-22. Then there was his winner against Spurs under Slaven Bilic. His best season was probably his first and the final one at the Boleyn, when he combined to such great effect with Dimitri Payet and Mark Noble. A bad long-term injury seemed to rob him of some of his pace, but he was always a solid technician and played his part in getting the Irons to the Europa Conference League final. He deserved his goal against Leeds in our final home match. Best of luck in the rest of your career, Manuel.
