I don’t think I’ve ever been this relieved about a transfer falling through. 
Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
Ty for the link. He seems like a complete gowl. Even Moyes criticised his work rate according to that.
I definitely dont believe this link, we aren't going to sign a lazy 33 year old racist with questionable work ethic and a huge neck.
United are pulling out if transfers due to fan complaints now?
if they were better then why weren't we after them first? I wouldn't underestimate this club's ability to get things terribly wrong.
Like Chris Sutton said, a proper PR disaster.
Might be worth doing just to disrupt the Brentford camp ahead of the weekend. He's hardly been full of love for Brentford recently.
How weird is it that the biggest praise we have for the United management so far this month is that they didn't sign someone?
As they rightly should if they contemplated signing a racist cnut
Braithwaite is available, if you convince him to join.
Lock the thread. The quicker we forget about it and move on - the better.
We should actually keep it open because its one of the very few good news stories we've had this summer!
Embarrassing.
burn this thread!
No, they were never in for this transfer. It's a 33 year old racist with questionable work ethic. These links were, IMO, purely to make every other transfer more acceptable to the fanbase. Watch everyone gush over signing Andy Carroll or some tosser now...."at least he's not racist".
Finally some positive news.
Andy Carroll is also 33, also shit, but not a racist as far as I know. Go on United, you know you want to.
That's the tricky bit!
And common sense saves the day.
Can't believe it took the fans to veto this, but the right outcome has been acheived.

Thank f*ck. What a shambles.
Our transfer team is wildly swinging in the wind and basing their targets on PR - if they identified him as the answer to our problems then why not sign him? I'm glad we're not going anywhere near him, but signing players based on public opinion implies we know better than their 'global scouting network' or whatever bullshit they want to pretend we have.
Thank feck for that
Thank goodness on a footballing and human viewpoint that this did not happen.
It's a relief yet absolutely mystifying at the same time
Such a BS argument - Arsenal just signed Jesus and Zinchenko. Newcastle signed Bruno and Botman. What exactly was their pull above United ? Top 5 from PL get CL this year and in couple of years PL would be more attractive than CL.
Lack of proper planning is why we are in this mess now. CR7 should have been thrown out the moment he didn't turn up for preseason. A striker should have been targeted long back. We are just doing the same mistake as of last year.
The fact that this is positive news for us is an embodiment of the transfer window. Our worst one in all my time supporting the club and there's been horrid ones over the past decade.
There's a certain amount of backlash that matters (see Gattusso to Tottenham). Though the club should know on the first place, but football clubs have shown time after time that they are not in touch with reality when it comes to fan base opinions.
That makes me worrying about our scouting even further. Surely one of the first things you should be scouting for a player is, is he a cnut, racist or criminal? It's not like he's an unknown quantity in the premier league!
Be happy
And then realise we're about to try signing someone who was lower on our shortlist than Arnoutovic

There's only one thing worse than making panic buys to appease fans: making panic buys the fans will be further enraged by.
For some bizarre reason when I saw the link I thought of Mitrovic, then I saw the Liverpool highlights and realised it had to be someone else.
Christ, we are hopeless.
This is worse than anything Woodward ever done. Arnautović's behaviour and beliefs are well noted, and we looked into signing him? A horrendous situation. We should be ashamed.
More likely twitter
Great. Now why the feck were we in for him in the first place?
Yes, at least Fellaini was a good guy.
Yeahhh!!!
Fair point
This link is just so outlandish though, I just have to make up something to make it seem logical
