Is this the lowest we’ll fall?
Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
One of the references was probably from his former FC Twente manager, Steve McClarenWell hopefully it's a 2 year deal plus an option of an extra year. In that situation, we use him as a squad player this season, he's largely redundant the year after and we don't exercise the option.
I don't think so. At this point we're not finishing above 8th in the league, which would be even worse.
United reaping the benefits of Moyes' genius again, we wouldn't have found our stop gap striker if not for him.
I see a Newcastle last year like season
If we're this desperate we should be hijacking the Werner deal or something, not in for this clown (and I still don't believe we actually are)
I dont recal a worst idea for a transfer in my 35 years as a man utd fan
Even Arsenal sorted their shit out before falling to these levels of low.
He's a cnut who will be 34 this season and wasn't anywhere near good enough in his prime. We are ran by morons.
This can't be true. Simply, it can't. From 100 strikers around we are really pushing for 33y old average striker? I would understand if it was some world class striker but bloody Arnautovic? Bloody hell
Yep, something like Newcastle or Leicester. A couple of injuries to "key players" and we could be looking at an Everton like season. Or am I going OTT here?

Absolutely all the things are going to that way
How many stop-gaps can the ST position take in 5 years? Ibrahimovic, Ighalo, Cavani, Ronaldo and now Arnautovic?
Last striker under 30 that we signed was literally Martial. 7 years ago.

Their PR guys just aren’t that sharp. I can understand Cavani and the Ibra signings, even Falcao. But this….
Lukaku?
This is frankly embarrassing. Hope it's not true.
Ighalo transfer looks much better now, isn't he?
I know he was forgettable, but Lukaku was a striker...I think.
I had done my best to wipe him from memory. Thanks
If we bring this guy and Rabiot in over the next couple of days, then get tanked at Brentford, the Liverpool home game is going to be very interesting. Again.
Our strikers post RVP have been as follows*:
Arnautovic (33)
Ronaldo (36)
Cavani (34)
Ighalo (30)
Lukaku (24)
Ibrahimovic (34)
Falcao (28, but he literally came off the back of a huge ACL injury)
* I wouldn’t even count Martial, he was a left winger when we signed him, no?
i ddint have an issue with Ighalo. It was what it was. A loan, stop gap in January when noone else was avaialble fastIghalo transfer looks much better now, isn't he?
So not only does no one on the caf want him and thinks he is too much of a trouble maker to be worth our time but no, even he doesn't want to come here. This transfer summer is just one giant shit show from start to finish.
Sesko is joining Leipzig from Salzburg. We are out of options and left with this guy.
He cost the club like 20m in loans and wages.
This is a target that even our likely rivals this season like West Ham wouldn’t go for at this point.
They’ve already had him so I guess it is our turn.
Yes but they’ve moved on and he’s getting on now.
Neville said Bournemouth
They’ve got Kiefer Moore so he wouldn’t get much of a look in there
Yes, there are a lot of stories from his early career (borrowing Eto'os car and crashing it; joining Werder Bremen with CL winner boots without playing a minute or also a funny story with policemen in Vienna. This was all 10 years and longer ago. He grew as a person over the last few years, is now the most consistent performer in our national team over the last 10 years and he is in the top 3 in terms of popularity in Austria (next to Alaba and Hinteregger, who retired and is also a "special" character). On his good days he can make the difference for Austria and Bologna. However, I think he is not good enough to spend ~10m and we should look at other targets.
Why don't Everton sign him? Surely they need a striker after losing Richarlison and more so after the injury to DCL. Please don't let this guy anywhere near our club for ffs.
Well, Falcao was a also loan to be fair like Ighalo and unlike the others.
Also probably the worst one out of the lot of them in my book!
Dude. I got a warning point for a meme. Someone needs to see the Frenkie thread. Sheeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
I just think idiots say things…but often don’t actually have “racist” views …they just spout the most inflammatory language they can when trying to offend. They are not out there trying to degrade or harm a person solely because of their hatred for that race of people…they are trying to offend that specific person in any way possible. I think it’s also a slippery slope to label people racists for a lack of education or exposure. I Have a fair bit of first hand experience of this stuff unfortunately. Been subjected to some quite awful stuff growing up and in the early part of my career.
In saying that now if it turns out he is a closet white supremacist then I’m out with the pitch fork!
The fact that ETH wants him and that Brobbey guy, is a huge fecking red flag.
Clearly ETH shouldnt be in charge of recruitment, he wasnt in Ajax either.

Do you really think Arnautovic was his first choice? I'd bank on him being closer to his last choice. And Brobbey was never approached by us, he signed for Ajax the minute we were linked by random journos.
Give your head a wobble.
