Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out

How many fecking short term options are we going to sign as CF?

Ighalo
Cavani
Zlatan
Ronaldo
Falcao

Now fecking this? It’s not short term if you keep fecking doing it! When do we sign the long term option? Who’s working on that?
 
I understand some of the logic behind the stopgap signings. Ronaldo is a legend of the game. Ibrahimovic and Cavani were world class in their day. All of these players have elite mentalities and even if it didn't work, I can see the reasoning for having them around the young attackers in the squad. Ighalo was very questionable, but at least he was a United fan who was made up to be at the club and gave his all the few times he was called upon.

Marko Arnautovic was a Stoke player in his prime. He had six seasons in the Premier League and his best goal return was 11 AND he's a racist AND he's a cnut AND he's shown to have attitude issues in other ways with the way he left West Ham. There is no redeeming feature of this signing.

If we want a naff striker on the cheap to bring off the bench we can find twenty better options for the same price with none of the baggage.

Like who?
Someone who can score goals, has international experience, is relatively low cost, has a good work ethic, knows the premiership, good in the air and on the ground,
Name one and I'll be impressed.

The long term option was for Greenwood to be No. 9 after Sancho arrived. Martial also wasn’t supposed to turn into a complete dud.

Martial should be gone, and Greenwood is unfortunate but just our fecking luck.

Chelsea just offloaded Werner and meanwhile we’re stuck with shite because no one has the balls to pull the tigger on a failed signing
 
Don’t really see the problem with this. He’s a decent striker who can rotate with Martial, he was well above everyone else he played with at West Ham.

He has a bit of fire about him, he can score goals, and is good at being a target man. Get him in, and we go for a big name striker next season.
I actually agree with this, if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s a racist cnut.
 
I know nothing about that, and that has nothing to do with his footballing ability, which is what I am discussing.
Was he banned for the racism, or was it a mandatory one game?
As I remember it he wasn't banned for the full extent of racism, just a mandatory one game, but I could be wrong, as I say I don't know anything about it.

The last player I would want is Arnautovic…but we are too soft in so many areas…we might need some attitude about the place…Brighton had some much more passion and aggression to win every second ball…we need an influence like Cantona, Keane or Robson had back in the day…one to protect and guide the youngsters…that is the only reason I can see us being interested in this guy…
 
Here’s a thought. How about buying a cheaper midfielder and then using the excess funds to get a better striker in?
 
Erik ten hag is underestimating the premier league pep buys haaland we buy 33 year old west ham reject
 
Is he even the best player in Bologna? Have they any midfielders we could use for example?
 
We might be in bigger trouble than I thought this season.

He should be nowhere near the club. We already have plenty of average and nothing players.
 
I mean except for the very obvious videos and pictures + sound recordings. Get a grip yourself.

Pathetic.

Let's not derail this thread with your amazingly bad takes though.

Arnautovic is a bad player and we shouldn't sign him.
Videos and pictures are new to me
 
It smacks of a mid table club move, oh wait yeah, as you were.

He’s a mid table signing …. But I guess that’s where we are heading so ya I see your point
 
Oh god this is happening isn't it.

I just hope he's announced at the same time as De Jong and a RW, plus Sesko with a loan back, as its the only way to avoid a full meltdown.

People accepting this signing have completed accepted us as a mid table side. The owners have zero ambition and they have convinced few of our supporters too.

He’s 33 and spent the last few years in China…
 
To even consider signing him raises some pretty serious questions about the way the club's run.

This is where our problems are . Buying some randomer that a manager doesn’t want and over paying on another cnut that doesn’t want to be here
 
We’ll according to the tweet we need his serial winner attitude around the dressing room to improve things…
That winner attitude and ambition which made him play in China during the prime years of his career? Of course.... that's the attitude we need at this point of time. We are a fecking shambles. :lol:

I don't know. I don't have a global scouting network and the contact details of every football agent worth their salt on file like Manchester United will have.

There is simply no way that the best option is a bloke who was a Stoke City player in his prime, which was the best part of a decade ago.

He's not close to good enough. He's a massive nobhead. He has all kinds of baggage. It's not a difficult bar to clear.
 
Guys why are you even bringing up this racism bs he should never even be considered by us to sign racist or not. Actually disturbing if these reports are true he's an absolute ueseless knobhead who's way past his best.
 
Its about time we accept that we aren't a top six club anymore.
 
“To be precise, the allegation was that he shouted, “I’m fecking your Albanian mother” towards Alioski, who has Albanian roots, after his 89th-minute goal in a 3-1 victory.

Arnautovic has admitted there were “some heated words” in an apology that was not just directed to the people of North Macedonia but, tellingly, also those of Albania. However, he denied being racist and it is important to note that UEFA did not invoke Article 14 of its disciplinary and conduct regulations, which refers to discriminatory allegations and would, in theory, have involved a ban of at least 10 matches.”
