I'm all for this

This signing may get us from an 8th position finish to 8th position come end of the season

This is like a year 1 Klopp signing. Not to great on stature but someone who will run a lot and follow instructions. Arnautovic had a period when he was a bit of a diva, but he’s since redeemed himself.

edit: damn I forgot about the racist cloud around. Feck.

:lol:

You can't seriously believe this?

We shouldn't be anywhere near this signing, its absolutely embarrassing to even be linked with him.

This potential deal, while Haaland is aiming for a debut hat trick, pretty much sums up the gap between us and what glazers have allowed us to become.

They're champions and keep getting better, we're rubbish and keep getting worse. Cavani for arnautovic is a drop in what was a low bar

This fabeled "character" that we look for in players... what is it? Because whatever it is, it's questionable.

Tbh, few transfer links have pissed me off as much as this one. A Short-termist approach for a racist wanker who's nowhere near good enough. It sums up our lack of strategy and our lack of money. Horrendous.

Yeah. I'm understanding of the need for a short term stop gap .. but seriously? Arnautović? What the feck is he going to do? Its a joke. The Glazers are an embarrassment with our lack of spending this summer considering the competition.

Isnt this your typical interaction between Serbs and Albanians when it gets heated? I wouldnt call this racist at all, more like temper issues. Arnautovic should know better as a professional player.

Now as a signing.... I refuse to believe this is true...

I think this is what baffles me. How can this possibly be the best we can come up with. Surely even in the state we're currently in, we can do better?
We can do better, but there is either no ambition or no money to do better. We basically have no scouting department. If Ten Hag wanted Robin van Persie from retirement to lead the line, the club would back him and think he knows what he is doing.

Well as much as I'd like them gone, we very much are pursuing the managers targets... this is on ETH and his coaches.

Surely this can't be true, EtH said they buying the right players when he did the skysports interview the other day

So if we do get him, I will be baffled

You hardly need a scouting department to come up with something better than Arnautovic.

I need to find a way of not paying much attention to football. Need to disconnect from this.

The funny thing is he was actually a really decent footballer 5-10 years ago. Comfortably our best player in Austria. But even for him we come way too late

Honestly, a 14 year old with access to Football Manager could come up with a list of names more appropriate than this lunatic..

Hopefully there's nothing in it.
