That's pretty unfair, Smalling has his faults but he rarely gets paced/out muscled by anybody.
tbf he's been ok this season but it is common knowledge if you press him he can panic or resort to pulling the opponents shirt.
Arnautovic has been impressive this season as a centre forward.
However I don't want us to buy him because we have so many other positions that need strengthening and I still believe Rashford can come good.

Id take him because he is an excellent right winger too
Fixed it for you.
Like all centre backs?
TBF according to the Prophet Di Marzio Arnautovic is plan B to Mandzukic

I honestly don't see how you don't see it .There are have so many games where you'd see Lukaku being used to knock down headers unto the path of his teammates. How many times have we bemoaned him not winning headers in matchday threads ?
Besides, would he ever wanna come to play as a backup anyway ? Hasn't he played his best football up top, being the main man for West Ham ? Like you said, for the money involved, he will wanna have a bigger role that maybe the club is ready give him.
Great player
Stop using words like great and excellent to describe this inconsistent, average and sometimes flashy player. He is NOT Manchester United-material whatsoever, not now, not ever.
Happy to take the tickets off ya if you have buyers remorseMy first season as an ST holder is going to be brutal
I'm playing the long gameHappy to take the tickets off ya if you have buyers remorse
Good God. You know how almost every prestige player in Europe uses us to get a better contract by flirting, leaking to the press and the re-signing? This is that right?
Right?
Right?
I think you'll be quite pleased. The recruitments we've been linked in will do wonders for the team. Even ArnautovicI'm playing the long game
Mate, I had a season ticket for the three seasons I was at uni in manc. Moyes, LVG, LVG. My brother for comparison Had a season ticket from 2007-2011..My first season as an ST holder is going to be brutal
Ouch. I didn't think it possible, but it really could be worse!
Hilarious quote from peak Mourinho at Inter.

Well. It's one thing to be taken advantage of by a player for Real Madrid, but west ham? Not that I believe in any of this but if we sign him it has to go down as the most random signing ever!
I like him as a player, but don't know if his attitude is up for it.
I wont complain about not getting Arnautovic, believe that
Hope so.
Hopefully plan A fails then is its Mandzukic, Arnautovic can at least get away from a defender.
That's not what you said.
A straight swap with Martial would suit everyone involved.
Cash plus player swap
No really. And we're not here to suit other's benefit. It's not like we have to sell Martial. I meant if he's unhappy he needs to force his way out and the buying clubs needs to be at our mercy. Here if we want offload Martial to foreign league, then WHU can feck off.
Yeah this fella will help us catch City.
What about loans, Rashford to play striker for them for a year while we get Arnautovic for a year?
He'd be a nice back-up option, but how is it even possible to bring him in as a back-up? West Ham spunked 25 on him and he's done great since then, so he'd cost more than back-up money.
I have always been a fan of Arnautovic. He is very under rated but with the right players around him I think he can be a very good buy. If this deal does happen I won't be surprised to see him push Lukaku and challenge for the starting role on the team. His play reminds me a lot of a certain Swede who used to play here...
I'd take Arnautovic all day over Mandzukic. This is the kind of signing I've always liked. Cherry picking players from EPL teams and let them build their name here. Just because one plays for Juve and the other plays for West Ham it doesn't mean the Juve player is better. I think Arnautovic will surprise a lot of people if this move does happen...
A bit sceptic about him - Don't think he's a player who can be really good without continuously playing.
Talented, but not sure he's stable enough when we need to rely on him when Lukaku's out.
He's no Chicharito / Solskjær, but usually needs a streak of games before hitting form. Has some dry-spells on him too.

He’s a maverick but having seen what a certain Eric Cantona, another maverick, did here I’d never again write off this sort of signing. I think there’s value in a player like Arnautovic and anything c£35-40m is probably worth it. You know he can handle the PL and that’s at least a starting point.
Fellaini Replacement.
Nice with some positivity in here! I agree with you. Depth is important.
I genuinely can't tell when people are being serious around here anymore.
I guess Barton was a Cantona too then. So were every half decent player with a high opinion of himself.
Opinions on him here before this was less than favourable. The manager says we lack a presence of top so he's now good for us. Jose is the Vince McMahon of football.

Why does it have to be one or the other? Why not both in the line up? If SAF was still here we would be playing a 4-4-2 and only go to one striker for the big away matches...
We have signed another 29 year old not long ago, and the result is one of our best young players wants to leave, another best one is benched.
