Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out

I can begrudgingly accept Rabiot but United should not be associated with this racist asshole. The board should override EtH if he wants him.
 
I'm thinking similarly, I'm very torn on this, though. Football fans in general are idiots and will quickly forget, the dude at Arsenal barely got a mention the other day, but would we as fans really want that at United?

Anyway, think we're derailing this cnuts thread with stories about another cnut
The case at Arsenal has been an eye-opener in how little fans care as long as the team is doing well. It's not unthinkable that it could happen here with Greenwood as well.
 
Ighalo was a short-term stop gap until we could find a proper #9. We didn't find one, so we got in Cavani, who was supposed to be a short-term stop gap until we could find a proper #9. He stayed for two years, we didn't find a #9 and now we are signing a 33 year old racist dickhead, whose career peaked in a midtable West Ham side, presumably as a short term stop gap. It's a total shambles.

Exactly my point, a couple of goals more outweigh a clean character for many fans. It's not even a conscious thing, it's part of the tribal football nature.
 
A few months back, amidst the links and rumours, United fans were sniffing at signing Robert Lewandowski. Now, United are looking to sign Marko Arnautovic. This has to be a joke! :lol:
 
If he comes cheap and scores 7 goals as a third or fourth striker, what's wrong with that? Is it just "we are Manchester United FFS" kind of mentality?
 
The straw that broke the camel's back, we are firmly mid table fodder. A once great club in a slow steady but very permanent decline.

The worry is the decline is not that slow anymore.

Back in the day I never envisaged a time when Spurs fans etc would be looking down and laughing at the state of us .

But here we are and we deserve all the ridicule coming our way

It is the panic stop gap nature of it even more so than the player, we have been in stop gap mode for years now.

It is just another example of the shambolic way the club has been run, we don't have a clue what we are doing.
 
Surely the backlash from the fans will prevent this from happening...
 
If we sign Arnautovic that has to be the final straw surely? Absolute madness to even be interested in an average 33 year old...... Then add in the racism etc and it's just nuts.

I honestly don't think we will win the PL in then next 10 years and by that time we will be behind Newcastle also as well as the others we already can't compete with. Dark days ahead for us IMO. We are like Liverpool of 10 years ago but without a Gerrard, Torres or Suarez.

To only sign a cheap LB, a CB and a free midfielder is just nowhere near enough after the disaster of last year. Every man and his dog knows we needed this and at least another CDM, RB, RW and a striker....... Pathetic.
 
Kind of signing that just cements we're a club with top 6 aspirations, nothing more.

I'd say lower than that

If one of the relegation teams went for him, I could see why as it's a different threat as a squad option

Anything above that and it would be a very strange move. Don't think he'd get in to the Fulham or Forest XI regularly

Blows me away that he's a real life target for Manchester United

The fact he's known to be a racist, sexist piece of shit.
 
The supposed three year deal makes it even worse. I can’t wait for us to loan him out next season and still be paying his wages.
 
Obviously no lessons have been learnt and it’s business as usual. City get Haaland, Liverpool Nunez and Utd going for Arnautovic. The gap gets wider every year unfortunately.
 
I remain confident we are fecking shambles and the guys who replaced Ed are equally as useless.
