This is where we are at. We are a midtable club. I've accepted it.
Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
I know Eriksen is 3 years younger and if he slows down by the end of this season and we are looking to move him on, it will be difficult for us. 2 year + 1 option would have made a lot more sense for Eriksen too. Was just being tongue in cheek with that comment about us not knowing about options.
Saying that I hope we don't go for this guy. If he is being brought in as a back up for this season that means we are banking on Sesko to come to us next year and that deal is nowhere near set in stone.
Remember when people said no to Richarlison and Nunez in June/July. Good times.

I refuse to believe this is the level of player we're in the market for, how can we not do better.
Yep, 3 out of 4 signings from Bologna, Brentford and PSV.
Not saying you can’t sign good players from those clubs but they are piss easy deals to make. It was either us or the LB going to Lyon, striker staying at Bologna or midfielder staying at Brentford
We have Martial back from loan. Almost like a new signing.Remember when people said no to Richarlison and Nunez in June/July. Good times.

Agreed
Poundland Zlatan.
And why doesn’t a capital letter automatically kick in after a full stop on Red Cafe?
Rangnick still trying to act as a consultant by pushing players he has managed onto us?
ETH managed him himself
Wow... just wow.
You don't replace mediocrity with more mediocrity. That won't get us out of this mess. It's just throwing another average/below average player into the squad.
Well atleast the club played a blinder in leaking this today. Takes the focus away from our terrible performance today.
It’s Arnold trying to redeem himself after today .
Looks like it’s not working with you guys.

I'm loving the meltdown over this
Cheering you a dismal match earlier.
Early early days.
All good everyone crying about this but he would actually improve us.

Apparently ETH and his assistant worked with this guy during their time as FC Twente it seems. So not Ralph I guess.
Didn’t know that. Thanks for the info!
How are we this inept at planning
I don't know man. This has sucked the life out of me.
To see how inept we are. Not buying a CM in Jan, or now and not buying an attacker.
I give up. We all know how bad it is. Yet it's worse.
I thought he was younger than 33.
But even if he was a little younger, ETH talks about getting "the right player", I don't think Poundland Zlatan is the right player.

Maybe a source said we're getting someone from Austria, meaning the Austrian league, and they misunderstood them, and thought an Austrian?!
Gives me hope that this isn't true.
That’s because he’s like the fourth choice striker on his transfer list.
Exactly that, similar player but leagues apart.
We can do miles better but given the positions that need strengthening back up striker clearly isn't seen as that much of a priority.
Do you have a time machine or something ? Scamacca signed for west ham 2 weeks ago. He's even on the bench for them right now.
It’s just rinse and fecking repeat at this club until all these shit twats either leave on a free or retire. I’m only 44 and I’m honestly starting to worry whether I will see this club on top again before I kick the bucket.
These quotes are actually even more worrying than us being linked with Arnautovic. They imply we are happy with our options which is the absolute worst case. Rather get Arnautovic than no one and I really don't want him here
Ighalo, Cavani, Arnautovic.
It fits the pattern. The club wants us to keep buying cheap grandads to tide us over. There is no money left at the club.

this is a joke right? Won't pay up for anyone half decent... So going after this idiot?I'm not sure we'd be buying a 60m defender or another LB if that was the case
Don’t be ridiculous
My thoughts exactly.
Plenty of money left (£’s)
50m on Martinez
65M on FDJ
18M on Malacia
That’s 120m there
40M on Sesko allegedly and we still want a RB.
There’s money available.
City buy halland.. We have. a bid rejected for Arnautovic.. The guy who moved from West ham to china
On the bright side we're still in the running for Sesko. We Arnautovic yet.
That is the mentality: Ronaldo, Martial, Rashford
If Arnautovic comes one of them have to leave
I mean, it's not that ridiculous. Liverpool went 30 years without winning the league.
Why couldn't this be done weeks ago? What's changed apart form the Martial injury?
