Latest is that he’s left out v Bournemouth because his head isn’t right
Jeez these players
Just an altercation with someone else where he says stuff (swear word though) West ham.
Probably not legit though.
;wink
It took my (ex)wife just 4 months to spend it
If I was offered 4 times that amount to move to China, I'd do it and it would be life changing... I'd have divorced my wife 4 times quicker ;wink
I took him out of my cheap team at the finish of the last GW. I felt sure he'd play tomorrow and score a hattrick ;biggrin ;phew
With the amount of money being potentially offered to him, I'm surprised they havent just upped it a bit to 40 or 45M on the premise we'd most likely take it.
So £35m is £70m, £40m=£80m, £45m=£90m and so on
I obviously know very little about him but I do know that living and working in another country with a very different culture requires compromise and adjusting to a different way of life is not always easy.
I trust that he knows what he is getting into and can only hope that it does not end in tears.
But agree with what Chicago said, thanks for the past, and good luck in China, may his fortunes provide happiness for him and his family!
I have much more sympathy for a player if it is a bigger club that he wants to go to. I know this also often means higher wages anyway, but I get that.
Good luck to Arnie if he leaves, but I am now looking at our team without him in mind.
Is the rumour now that Arnie didn't want to play?
The reasons why are not known.The cub has declined to comment on the reasons (as per BBC). Guardian claim (without quoting or attributing) it is because the saga is affecting his focus. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jan/18/marko-arnautovic-bournemouth-china-west-ham
It shouldn’t even be an issue, whether it’s Pelle observing the boys body language in training or Arnie thinking he can’t focus.
For me it’s just one step back from the downing tools which Payet did to force his own way.
Even if he doesn’t go, he’s gonna find it hard to come back from this with the fans, in conjunction with the absolute rubbish his brother spouts ......
you swim with the sharks you will get bitten, it’s so disappointjng especially with the quotes from Noble whose clearly trying to act as mediator here “ he said while at thigh club I will give 100%” well clearly your not mate!!
Imagine other professional occupations eg. your accountant, lawyer, financial adviser (who had already signed an employment contract for a defined period) not doing his/her absolute best for you because he/she had been offered a better paying job and it was causing "a loss of focus".
'Head's not in it' is simply guessing, and to knock Arnie on the basis of it seems really unfair.
He's been brilliant for us, and IMO is the best forward we've had since Deano.
He's clearly popular with the other players, and IMO deserves our thanks and good wishes if he goes.
My brother who has MND was told this week that he only has a few months left. I asked him how he took the news and he said on the chin because it is what it is. I could understand his losing focus.
Sorry to hear about your brother.
Where did you see about the apology?
As we have seen before, when he's been subbed, often the player and the manager have different views. There's nothing to say this isn't the same thing. Arnie could be champing at the bit to play, but it's the manager's judgement that he's not in the right frame of mind. We don't know what that's based on.
imo, too many people are too ready to believe the worst with little foundation apart from speculation and rumour.
I haven't read it if he did.
I'd be a wreck, tbh, hardly able to walk straight, never mind think straight. I'd not be able to sleep - all sorts racing through my mind. I'd be up to my elbows in lists of things to do. ;poormf
Maybe you are a lot more sanguine
