Marko Arnautovic

[Ribbot]

Arnies gone, we need to come to terms with this and move forward. He isnt accepting a pay rise and its January...we wont get a replacement but our interests are well known and come the next window I expect a marquee signing.

We have z 7 month gap that needs to be filled with someone who fits pels system. Get ready for the obvious..Ya...

18 goals in 47 games.

Anyone saying we didn't miss Marko today hasn't watched us much for the past 18 months.

[Vic_Watson]

Salah 50 in 68, wasn't it?

[jastons]

Messi scored 73 in a season, 91 in a year.

I'm sure Barcelona and Liverpool would miss Messi and Salah.

[bubbles1966]

Salah 50 in 68, wasn't it?

Arnautovic is close to a goal or assist per game since he went up front, Vic.

That's pretty exceptional and if we're bringing Salah into it to try and downplay it, then it's obvious how big a player Arnie's been in a team with much less talent.

[hammerman11]

need to shift him early this week and get the replacement in.

worst scenario is he goes nowhere and just goes through the motions with us like he did against arsenal.

time for him to go and if 40m is all we get then take it and get Gomez in asap.

decide if we can shift perez,carroll and Hernandez and if we can get another striker in

then sort out a DM and a CB


the rest can wait until summer

possible clearout players carroll perez arnie hernandez ogbonna obiang hughill byram cullen zabaleta

so we need a lot in but as for now a new striker is the number one priority

[Discobar]

While he's still a Hammer, I'll support him. And if he's fit, he should play if Pellegrini thinks he's good enough to get in the team. What he shouldn't be allowed to do is piss about. If he wants a transfer ask and in the meantime, whilst negotiations are going on, play your heart out for the fans that have given you a massive pay check.
if he doesn't want a transfer, then he should get his sulky head down and honour his contract.

I'd say his attitude has affected the line-up and game plan today. There is no way back. Off he goes. See you next Tuesday

[Discobar]

Chelsea clearly don't rate Tammy Abrahams. God knows why. Do 30 on him and watch the goals fly in

Bored of this ****

According to our friend Ex, only one bid of £35m has ever been made. So unless that changes, he ain't going nowhere and no-one is coming in I presume. However, if he does go in February to a higher Chinese bid when their window is apparently still open, then we are stuck with the donkey upfront.

[WeallwantMoore]

Trouble is the Chinese know they don’t have to up their bid coz he will kick up a fuss, create problems, sulk etc etc until he gets his move....

The 2 Dave’s know him moving will cost them money coz a replacement will be more expensive.....they won’t like that and may just see it out....we will be left with a bad egg in the dressing room again, affecting team morale and performance

Razzle dazzle - Arnies brother has probably been instructed to do this as a way of avoiding any outlay in January. There had been rumblings that gold and Sullivan were going to avoid spending again and wheel out the favourite line - one in one out... this is convenient as we don’t spend in January whilst loads of cock n ball stories are leaked about gambling problems - I heard it was Antonio a few months ago and that was the reason for his loss of form. Give it a week or so and Arnie can say he was always happy here but of course the chance to triple his wages was attractive and when he heard the West Ham fans turn on him it upset him especially as he had been our best player earning less than Carroll and Chico but he’ll continue to try his best for the club going forward.
We might sign Shelvy and sell Obiang.

That is next level...paranoia.

[Georgee Paris]

Sure it is - delivered a stadium fit for purpose did they? What really happened with Sakho, Kouyate, Payet? I wouldn’t put it past them to have engineered this. They’d sell their own family given the chance. Fool me once...

[pezza20]

This is also idle chit chat

Arnie's brother is a **** - he is only looking after his own interests ... doesn't even know what cups he'd win in China FFS.

If a suitable offer isn't received he will jus have to get on with it, he is still on unbelievable money and chances are someone else will come in for him in the summer if he keeps his good form up.

Pell has the final say, so unless the dwarf gets a suitable player in Arnie wouldn't have gone anywhere anyway.

[il_martello_di_genovesi]

Now fuk that. I'd say his attitude has affected the line-up and game plan today. There is no way back. Off he goes. See you next Tuesday

He wasn’t going to be starting anyway. We don’t get points in every game he plays either, so him missing isn’t the only reason we dropped points.

[Crouchend_Hammer]

I am still struggling to understand what benefit Arnie leaving or this whole on/off scenario is to the owners?

Madness to say they are engineering it.

As if his agent/ brother is going to agree to some elaborate ruse engineered by Sullivan!

[e17]

Good news if it’s off
