Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out

[sullydnl]

Mate, we are crap. Like seriously "good enough" is so funny. We are bums.

And short term signings like Arnautovic, Ronaldo, Cavani and Ighalo are a big part of why.

It's been clear since last january we needed to sign a CF. We shouldn't be resorting to no-future barrell scraping, because it's a symptom of a failing recruitment set up. No more, no less.

 

[Trigg]

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

 

[Snafu17]

It's just awful planning isn't it? I mean, it might work as a stop gap solution, but you have to ask yourself how did it come to this for the 10th time in the last decade.

 

[Leftback99]

Yeah, we're skint.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

He's good with his back to goal - very much like Martial in that respect. Ideally, not someone who I'd want, but he's an extra body and on his day, he can be a handful. Short term solution. Our focus should be on the wing and in midfield.

 

[Nickelodeon]

Not just Arnautovic but a 33 year old one. For his own sake, he shouldn’t come here because his name will always be preceded by “not good enough”. He may be remembered as a decent footballer otherwise.

 

[izec]

How are we this inept at planning

Murtough and Arnold are learning on the job

 

[pcaming]

This is genuinely the best we can do? We might as well rehire our crap scouts, management are off their meds.

 

[Josep Dowling]

I’m sure ten Hag still thinks he’s managing Ajax.

 

[Dazzmondo]

This has such Ighalo vibes. A player that will never be good enough to do anything at Utd but he's cheap so why not? Love that we have people spouting this "we only sign the right players" excuse as a reason not to sign other talented players and then we get clearly credible links with Arnautovic. It's all nonsense. Lack of a reliable recruitment team has absolutely destroyed our window and season.

 

[Idxomer]

Should be good enough to help us finish in the top half of the table.

 

[Andre Kagawa]

I know we're desperate, but Arnautovic?! Come on, man.

 

[TheLord]

Not a bad place to retire. Lucky you, Marko Arnautović.

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Yep, right player that.

 

[shabin_d_great]

Quite a step up for him from Bologna to a bottom half EPL side. Hope he is up for the challenge..

 

[Rightnr]

As inspirational a signing as Avram's haircut.

 

[charlenefan]

Utterly embarrassing if we sign him

 

[crossy1686]

We're going to sign this bloke and Neves on deadline day...

Arnautovic

 

[devilish]

So our transfer window consists of a backup LB, ETH 2nd choice CB at Ajax, a free transfer from Brendford and a 33 year striker from Bologna. That sounds more like the transfers made by a mid EPL club then a title contender

 

[Castia]

Texted my City mate that we‘ve bid for Arnoutovich. He thinks I’m winding him up he doesn’t believe it.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Bloody hell, no words.

 

[saik]

Confirming ourselves as a mid table club aren't we?

 

[BusbyMalone]

Can't be real, surely. No way...

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Feck sake there surely has to be better options than this? Scraping the barrel here. Also what is it with us signing stop gap strikers at the tail end of their careers? We need a striker so go out and spend the fecking money on a quality one who’ll be here for the next 5-10 years.

 

[Devil81]

He holds the ball up well but it stinks of a club in financial ruin.

We need to strengthen so many positions maybe a cheap back up option to Ronaldo isnt as mad as it currently seems.

 

[unplayable]

He wants to join us. That's a nice change if nothing else...

 

[CallyRed]

Is Jozy Altidore available?

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Cement the 10th place battle.

 

[RedChisel]

You can only think this is deliberate sabotage at this point.

 

[Superunknown]

I'm convinced that this is an elaborate piss take. There's just no way.

This club

 

[redom]

Last thing we need.

 

[Cassidy]

I'm convinced that this is an elaborate piss take. There's just no way.

Remember Ighalo?

 

[DevTheRed]

Isn’t he an absolute c*nt? One to avoid.

 

[Godfather]

We're going to sign this bloke and Neves on deadline day...

I think I'll spend my time better than watching us week in week out if that's the plan.

 

[izec]

3 years

Has he even stayed 3 years without breaks at a club? feck me dead

United should hijack scamaca move to west ham and sell Marcus rashford. Ronaldo plays better with another striker besides him
