I aint reading it either
The bloke's a cunt
Gets a megabucks transfer to a higher profile club, one elbow and three match ban, and several substitutions later, has failed to deliver one single piece of worthwhile football
28 million for a sack of moody shit. I feel sorry for the bloke who writes these cheques

Arnautović will have a blinder tonight.
You heard it here first.
You were right - he was walking round the pitch tonight as if he was blind

**Agree with that. The best players know when to make the right pass, this bloke doesn't. I'm not writing him off yet but the early signs don't look great. If you are expecting a great player to emerge over the coming months I fancy you will be disappointed. Happy to be proved wrong.**
HH had it in a few words @ 9.58: "not intelligent enough". That's what I see as the stumbler for Arnie. Last I watched him, he did the hard work, made space, and had several great opportunities to slide a killer ball in behind a turning defence. No. Instead he decides to beat half the fucking crowd and loses the ball. You could hear Chica calling his moves and positioning for him right through the first half, quite embarrassing really. Not that he took much notice.

We have played 8 PL games and he has missed at least 2 of those due to his stupidity at Southampton
The time period that people give new players and managers these days is ludicrous
Sometimes these things just eventually click into place.
If the cunt of a ref had given him a pen against Spurs that may have been the trigger.
Hopefully he does the business tonight and is up and running.

These articles on Arnautovic and Hernandez are ridiculous. We've played 8 league games for fucks sake. Far too early to say it's not working, they're not working, they're failures.
Just let him get on with playing. His quality will shine through

It is as Takashi say's below a bit early to look upon him as dead wood which I sort of did, maybe he just needs some time to settle.

He would be awesome if space was given but sadly he is playing in one of the toughest and most physical leagues in the world and in my opinion can only be effective against the lesser teams and even that is no guarantee.
I hope he proves me wrong because without doubt he has potential, sadly I think he is not Intelligent enough as a player either. in other words he could play it a bit more simple and play better passes instead of his occasional intricacy and wish to pass players.

We've been doing this for a while now. Because we have a board who speak first and act second, and value PR over everything, we worry too much about how something will look. Gold and Sullivan would have been worried that if we'd signed more under the radar players it wouldn't have been seen as ambitious enough, so instead they set out to spend big but when they find we can't attract players who are really worth big money or that what counts as big money has left them behind we decide to go and spend what we can anyway because that fulfils some kind of promise/ wish fulfilment.
End result is you want to spend a club record fee but Bacca, Lacazette etc won't come so instead of thinking again you spend it on Ayew, then Arnautovic. You think it would look good to say you've signed a European Championship winner and you end up with one barely anyone else wanted in Fonte. And so on.
You have to know what market you're shopping in and make it realistic to your means and profile. That's how you gradually progress. We haven't got a clue what we're doing or what we want right now and haven't for a while.
You end up with neither value in terms of a bargain or value in terms of a top quality player. The Icelandics were the same - they wanted to splurge money and yet the only players they could attract were the likes of Dyer so we went and splurged money on him anyway.
It's like telling all your mates you're going to buy a 40 grand car but you can't find one you like so you spend 40 grand on a Mondeo just so you can say you spent it.

I'm sure he doesn't go around looking for fights anymore.
I'm also sure that any opposition player who winds up their man will redouble their efforts after reading that piece.

Yeah he definitely isn't a bargain to whoever said that.
Didn't he break our record transfer fee as well?

Players being in the prem under the age of 30 you pay a premium for now. It is just the way things have gone with all the TV revenue money bumping everything up having a knock on effect.

You've just picked a load of players that went for inflated prices - Plenty of examples where clubs have bought players shrewdly, without a ridiculous mark up like most of shit you mentioned.
This is where I think we fail in the transfer market time and time again. Rather than scout well and pick up rising talent, we want to flex our muscles buying the best of today's performers - then end up with deadwood we can't shift as they have dropped from the limelight and clubs won't pick up their inflated wages.
