Yep. His mate’s aren’t going to get him out of this mess. We need much more quality and ambition - but time is pressing to spend what we needed to. 3 months wasted to pursue one player that’s not going to fix our problems, however good he is.
Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
Don’t really see the problem with this. He’s a decent striker who can rotate with Martial, he was well above everyone else he played with at West Ham.
He has a bit of fire about him, he can score goals, and is good at being a target man. Get him in, and we go for a big name striker next season.

The main reason for that was Ronaldo scored half of those goals and he wants to now leave. If he leaves we are stuck with Martial and another 33 year old. We are fecked if this guy is the best we can come up with. "Good" character too, seeing as he left to play in China in what should be the prime years of his career.
I have been supportive of ETH until now but I'll seriously start questioning him if this signing goes through.
He's racist.
We’re a washed up laughing stock.
Seeing this a lot. What did he do or say? I don’t remember the incident.
I know nothing about that, and that has nothing to do with his footballing ability, which is what I am discussing.
Was he banned for the racism, or was it a mandatory one game?
As I remember it he wasn't banned for the full extent of racism, just a mandatory one game, but I could be wrong, as I say I don't know anything about it.
You do realise he was starting for West Ham and forced his way out for a big money move to China, right?
How many fecking short term options are we going to sign as CF?
Ighalo
Cavani
Zlatan
Ronaldo
Falcao
Now fecking this? It’s not short term if you keep fecking doing it! When do we sign the long term option? Who’s working on that?
Ighalo
Cavani
Zlatan
Ronaldo
Falcao
Now fecking this? It’s not short term if you keep fecking doing it! When do we sign the long term option? Who’s working on that?
Couldn’t care less.
Like who?
Someone who can score goals, has international experience, is relatively low cost, has a good work ethic, knows the premiership, good in the air and on the ground,
Name one and I'll be impressed.
The long term option was for Greenwood to be No. 9 after Sancho arrived. Martial also wasn’t supposed to turn into a complete dud.
Can I interest you in supporting Chelsea?
Each to their own but that is majorly f*cked up. You're not someone I'd go for a pint with anyway.
Martial should be gone, and Greenwood is unfortunate but just our fecking luck.
Chelsea just offloaded Werner and meanwhile we’re stuck with shite because no one has the balls to pull the tigger on a failed signing
I actually agree with this, if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s a racist cnut.
The last player I would want is Arnautovic…but we are too soft in so many areas…we might need some attitude about the place…Brighton had some much more passion and aggression to win every second ball…we need an influence like Cantona, Keane or Robson had back in the day…one to protect and guide the youngsters…that is the only reason I can see us being interested in this guy…
Here’s a thought. How about buying a cheaper midfielder and then using the excess funds to get a better striker in?
What. The. feck.
Erik ten hag is underestimating the premier league pep buys haaland we buy 33 year old west ham reject
Not racist myself, so no.
Is he even the best player in Bologna? Have they any midfielders we could use for example?
Wow really?
We might be in bigger trouble than I thought this season.
He should be nowhere near the club. We already have plenty of average and nothing players.

Videos and pictures are new to me
It smacks of a mid table club move, oh wait yeah, as you were.
He was cleared of this by the Dutch FA
Well that's a no surely then for us
He’s a mid table signing …. But I guess that’s where we are heading so ya I see your point
Oh god this is happening isn't it.
I just hope he's announced at the same time as De Jong and a RW, plus Sesko with a loan back, as its the only way to avoid a full meltdown.

He was a mid table signing in his prime.
Midfield issue is by far bigger.
People accepting this signing have completed accepted us as a mid table side. The owners have zero ambition and they have convinced few of our supporters too.
He’s 33 and spent the last few years in China…
To even consider signing him raises some pretty serious questions about the way the club's run.
Jesus threads like this really bring out the racists on the caf
To be 3rd choice behind Ronaldo & Martial? Seems kinda pointless.
This is where our problems are . Buying some randomer that a manager doesn’t want and over paying on another cnut that doesn’t want to be here
