I'm beginning to wonder whether Di Marzio's tweet was not one of his good uns. Clearly we're not paying £50m for Arnautovic, probably not interested in a 32 year old Mandzukic and we don't seem to have agreed feck all with Shakhtar yet regarding Fred.
1. Arsenal has no money, no CL football
2. We are loaded with attacker at the moment, we need defenders and GK.
Mourinho and his love of duds.
Woody will never agree to pay such a ridiculous fee. Just like he wouldn't sanction the Perisic fee

Definitely looks like he jumped the gun on that one anyway.
Obviously the price tag is ludicrous but I'd be interested to find out who are the alternatives out there if we are desperate for a back up striker?
Personally, I believe a club as big as ours should have Lukaku + another similar tier player competing for one position, but as we have more pressing concerns, I'd rather have Rashford/Sanchez/Martial as our back up options. Even fecking Arsenal have Aubameyang + Lacazette

Marko wants pay rise.
Disappointing.
In all seriousness didn’t he have miss after miss last season. Seem to recall him being poor the season before as well. Obviously things change and happen at the drop of a hat so not everything is going to be right but I find his “god status” strange.
Anyway 50 mil for Arnautavic, hell no... I’m sure the fee is a lot less than what is reported but even if it was 30mil surely someone is having a laugh.
People speak of him as a backup striker, but he is no striker at all. Rashford is a striker, and some would say he isn’t very good on his own... but replacing him with another guy that’s not a striker!?
This is a smoke screen for someone else, I guarantee it. Its the only thing that makes sense about this.
Did not see this coming. Surely this is not true.
He played up front for west ham at back end of this season and was pretty decent actually
a Mouriniho type player. I always thought of him as a decent striker though never thought we would be interested in him.
If this is true it's bloody madness. Why on earth would we be the slightest be interested in a 29 year old forward who did good at Stoke and looked alright in a terrible West Ham side.
Let's all be offended by a transfer rumour and treat it as though it's true because it suits our agenda to do so.
Don’t worry, Moyes wouldn’t even sell us a virus. Oh wait...
Has to be a bs article. There can be no chance in hell that we would be interested in such a mediocre player like that.
A club like us should be trying to sign a world class striker and have lukaku as backup. Not this clown, his stats are terrible and every time I’ve seen him play he misses chances and fecks up the momentum in attack.... Oh wait he sounds exactly like our other attacking options!
During his entire career he’s only got into double figures twice on both occasions scoring 11 goals, he’s never got more than 7 assists. This has to be bs.

Even as a backup option this is a joke.

WH paid £25m for him, hes been good for them, and he has 4 years on his contract, so if the rumours are true, there's no way he's leaving for anything near £30m.
I've got a feeling in the Pellegrini regime, Marko might not be quite the striker he's looking for to take the Hammers into the promised land.
Hence his agent, stirring pots already.
If you actually have a look at Arnautovic's career, he always appears to have more to say than actual highlights in a footballing sense.
He's more like a cartoon character than a footballer.
You could say the Hammers would be stupid to let him go - but he doesn't look a Manuel Pellegrini striker to me and that might be the reason for the hawking around.

Why he’s a year older (29) and has had a relatively poor season? So surely the figure should be less than £25m?
Is all the uproar and complaining in here over those few tweets? Is there anything concrete or is it just paper talk like every single player that’s been linked to us up to now?
Seriously they paid 25mil for him?
I actually think he is a good player but for 50m at 29 yrs old, no thanks..
He was their top scorer.
With 11 goals....
Jose is watching him tonight it seems. he is in the stadium against russia..
Mou's in Innsbruck watching Austria - Russia ...
I'm not saying he's worth more, but if you think West Ham will let their top scorer leave, a year into his contract, and take a hit (or even break even) on the fee, particularly when selling to Utd, then I'll have some of what you're smoking please. Its not as if the owners are popular among their fanbase as it is.
I can't see us signing him. If he was at the end of his contract he might be worth a punt, but not for a big fee.
The boss himself came all the way down to Austria to watch him play today 
Yeah, that has pretty much confirmed we're after him. £50M (if true) would be ridiculous for a 29 year old. We're probably not even going to get that much when we sell 22-year-old Martial.
This would be a shocking signing. Especially for the money being mentioned
Yes I completely agree. The news that Jose is at the Tivoli Stadion watching Austria v Russia, doesn’t do anything to reassure me though!
Grim.
Has it feck, it's not like he's a player that needs scouting Mourinho had him at Inter and sees him every week in the PL
Could be watching any player to be fair. Or maybe he’s just there because he will be working for Russian TV during the World Cup.
Mourinho watching him is completely meaninglesst. It's not as if the scouting work hasn't been done already and Mourinho is not gonna be negotiating with his agent either.
In before we sign Arnautovic and he scores 20+ goals for us next season.
It's OK to fantasize.
