Usually after a bad result we get some news about the Glazers planning to paint the windows or replace the toilets on the roof so at least this is a different tactic.
Yep.

The old kick 'em in the balls after they've been kicked in the balls routine.

I'd rather build those new toilets myself than see Arnautovic at United.

Weren't people on this forum complaining about not going for some random signings? Well, here you go.
Random as in “I had no idea there were 20 year olds that talented in Bolivia” not “Jesus Christ. Did the entire scouting team take molly?”

This is some next level banter if we truly sign him. Biggest club in the world and this is what we've come to? Going for scraps?

Liverpool sunk slightly lower in the Hodgson era, but they recovered fairly quickly and were playing some incredible football with Rodgers. For us it's almost 10 years of complete and utter rubbish, with no light at the end of the tunnel in sight
Liverpool played 1 CL season in 9 years. We haven’t even been out of the CL for more than one year at a time. Liverpool won 1 league cup in 13 years. We’ve won 3 major trophies since Fergie retired.

Real talk - signing Arnautoivc at this stage in the window during the "mega rebuild summer" is vile. A damning indictment on everyone at the club, especially Murtough and his "scouts" but also ETH, and a spit in the face of all the fans.

Could go for Toney, or Jonathan David, or silly money moves for Schick or Sesko... at least you could explain that. And then if all else fails sign Arnautovic on August 31st at midnight.

But doing it now with 3 weeks to go?! Fecking disgraceful. There's not a shred of intellect or nous anywhere in the club at the moment. Murtough is a clueless 'jobs for the boys' number cruncher tasked with a job orders of magnitude above his competence level.

The whole point of having a DoF is you dont end up just signing players who the manager has experience of.

This is the worst piece of transfer news ive ever heard involving this club. A 33 year old past-it middle-team striker with a history of enthusiastic racism is being touted to wear one of the most prestigeous club emblems in football at one of the most iconic arenas.

This is shocking and frankly upsetting.

NO! He's not a hidden gem, he's not going to surprise us, he won't be transformed by ETH into a revived goal machine. He's shite and he will remain shite.

I wouldn't even take him as a backup's backup.

Exactly. This knee jerk reaction are really something.

Here's hoping we walk away to save face after the backlash from the fans was registered
I don’t even dare to think about who they have in mind that is even lower down the list than Arnautovic, if they don't get him. :nervous:

It's starting to feel like the job's way too big for Ten Hag. A bit like Moyes' he needs his boys around him.

That twitter account is infuriating.
I can't believe they have such a decent following. No disrespect but how do a couple of American college guys get insider info at a club United? It just doesn't ring true.

It’s almost a parody that people were praising our scouting for identifying Sesko when in reality they were making a bid for Arnautović

Love to see it, this place acting like having standards, shitting on other players, this one or that one not good enough for United, here comes Arnautovic and suddenly tune changing slowly.

Ten Hag didn't walk into Manchester United demanding that we sign Marco Arnautovic.

This is a signing you make when you fail to secure your main targets in the position, plural. Just as our previous managers complained about having to settle for their fourth and fifth choice signings.

I have no idea why anyone would blame ETH for the continuation of a pattern that has long preceded him just because he's choosing the particular flavour of shit he's being served.
