Nah. I'm getting Moyes vibes
Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
He was playing in China up until recently. He's fecking shit, and he's a garbage human being and terrible dressing room influence.
But go ahead, delude yourself into believing he'd be a brilliant signing and we actually have a master plan in place.
Take me back in time to the Danny fecking Ings rumours.
Wouldn't be too harsh on the club, maybe that prolific data system that made us pick AWB out of 804 fullbacks did the same with Arnautovic?
A 33 year old player who "only scored two less goals" than the 23 year old West Ham have taken a punt on.
And this is a selling point.
He gives his all every time he plays? Managers who have worked with him constantly complain about his work ethic.
We are the laughing stock of the football world. What was it Rangnick said about signing players on their last contract?
The only agenda here is people don't want another over the hill stop gap signing. And it seems he's a racist as well.
Coming to the bolded part, how can you even say that after watching us today? Our only goal was from a set piece and it was an OG. Rashford and Bruno missed very good chances and have been shit for more or less for a year and you think our attack is decent? It's about improving depth but also getting in good quality. Not another 33 year old striker. That is the problem people have.
This reminds me of Liverpool's failure days before Goofy, when they'd go for the likes of Ricky Lambert, Peter Crouch and Robbie Fowler.
Where are the songs at, any chanters
yep, excellent point
Get on the blower with Zlatan, we love a second coming at United.
This may come as a shock, but there are other forwards in Europe than the ones we’ve got and fecking Arnautovic, God give me strength.
I don’t see how anyone can defend this transfer, he’s bang average, past his best and a nightmare in the dressing room. It’s embarrassing that we’ve bid for him.
On the bbc now, this is officially official, we are KEEN. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62460220
He’s a racist
A fecking racist
He won’t take the knee.
He’s a racist
A filthy racist
Our number 9, Arnie…
A whim-away, a whim-away, a whim-away….
Fecking hell. Came here to post this. I was expecting we would brief that the interest has died down, not this.
Of all the rumours that have appeared in the last day's time it had to be the Arnautovic story that had legs. Sané or Ruiz would've been too good to be true.
Signing no one would be better than signing Arnautovic. All we'd be doing is adding more deadwood to the squad. We'd get to the end of the season and he'd be linked with a loan move away while we're left picking up half his wages
There are some people here who will blindly defend everything the club does, with no exception. I'm convinced the Glazers have some paid shills infiltrating the Caf; there's no other explanation for it.This may come as a shock, but there are other forwards in Europe than the ones we’ve got and fecking Arnautovic, God give me strength.

We are miles off in rating our players, Martial wouldn’t start for any top 6 side in the league and as it’s shown for the past 6 years and his latest loan at Sevilla he will flop once again, he’s nowhere near the standard over a 38 game season. We don’t need support for Martial, he in fact is the support player at best.
Id rather see Garnacho get minutes 100% than using those minutes on a soon to be 34 year old striker that wouldn’t get into a single PL side.
Spurs have Kane and Son and added Richarlison
Arsenal added Jesus
Chelsea added Sterling
City Haaland
Pool Nunez
In your world Martial is a starter and his backup is Marko Arnautovich?
Let’s not even get into the racism allegations either

Same player who went on strike to force his way out of West Ham to go to fecking China and has a history of improper behavior yet we should fine with bringing that into an already questionable dressing room just because he might score a few goals off the benchA 33 year old player who "only scored two less goals" than the 23 year old West Ham have taken a punt on.
And this is a selling point.
feck off
Any of the other top 6 clubs would be justifiably ridiculed for the same move
Don't our new scouts and coach have any young prospects prospects they want to bring in?
It's evidence that ten hag has run out of ideas, "oh damn I can't get Anthony, what other attacker can I sign from a small pool of players that I am comfortably familiar with?
A thirty million pound punt.A 33 year old player who "only scored two less goals" than the 23 year old West Ham have taken a punt on.
And this is a selling point.
That's a bit more of a gamble than £8m no?
Sesko scored 5 league goals last season, yet you're happy to spend £40m on him yeah?
Sometimes an issue doesn't need a long term solution, it just needs solving. I think we've come to that point.
We're ran by fecking imbeciles.
Didn't the club make losses of £/$92 million last year? There's literally not a pot to piss in. We didn't get anything for 5 players that just left. Brilliant business.
Not a great look, is it?
I mean, the way this looks we've been working on a deal for some weeks - and the news breaks today (for whatever reason - it wasn't the result, it was reported before the match).
The reasons for targeting him (solid backup, offers something we lack, would be an asset to the dressing room, ETH has worked with him before and likes his attitude) are reported by multiple sources simultaneously, i.e. seems very much like a brief.
So, nobody - weeks ago, when the player was first approached - thought twice about this? Nobody realized that this is a stupid feckin' idea from a PR perspective? A random Caf member could have told them that this is a player who won't just arrive - like a "decent backup" transfer - under the radar, like: of course both fans on social media and journos of all sorts would react to United signing this prick. Do they understand nothing about how these things work - especially in England and especially when United are involved?
Ole get your boots son; it’s time to come of age

I can stomach it if we get in another striker as well. Just arnautovic on his own and i give up.
Rather we bring back welbeck
I try to stay positive, but this is just more of the same but somehow worse

I didn't say it would be a problem. I was responding to a prior poster who suggested he'd be third-choice.
Yeah, our attack is decent. We didn't struggle to score last season, and we won't struggle to score this season.
Our issue remain elsewhere.
So a striker who scored more goals than Leao last season isn't decent? Yet some on here were hoping for Leao, strange.
I'm all for buying for the future etc, but we have Garnacho who is one for the future, what we need is for the here and now, someone who will provide depth, goals and workrate. That's what Marko will give.
Ha! He'll be in good company.
Fecking hell on the BBC? I really need the club to stop this shit now. This is terrible if it goes ahead.
Yeah, and I was asking you why Marko stepping in as third choice would be an issue? As that's the idea of a squad, they step in when needed.
You keep ignoring the fact Arnautovic is a racist cnut.
I understand some of the logic behind the stopgap signings. Ronaldo is a legend of the game. Ibrahimovic and Cavani were world class in their day. All of these players have elite mentalities and even if it didn't work, I can see the reasoning for having them around the young attackers in the squad. Ighalo was very questionable, but at least he was a United fan who was made up to be at the club and gave his all the few times he was called upon.
Marko Arnautovic was a Stoke player in his prime. He had six seasons in the Premier League and his best goal return was 11 AND he's a racist AND he's a cnut AND he's shown to have attitude issues in other ways with the way he left West Ham. There is no redeeming feature of this signing.
If we want a naff striker on the cheap to bring off the bench we can find twenty better options for the same price with none of the baggage.
It's astonishing. I really don't know what to think.
ETH must know this about him though. So clearly our manager is cool with racists? That\s fecking depressing.
Da fuq. You cannot be serious
