Will Arnie say 'hasta la vista' to Stoke?
Some action at last. West Ham have had a £15 million offer for Stoke's Marco Arnautovic rejected and the player has apparently asked for a transfer. Though just as it seems someone actually wants to join us, Arnie's got injured in a pre-season friendly for the Potters. The Stoke winger come striker would be an interesting signing. He's netted quite a few screamers for Stoke, but doesn't seem to score enough tap-ins (he scored seven goals last season). So there's room for improvement, but the City fans seem to like him and the big Austrian is a proven performer in the Premier League with his own "Arnie!" chant. He'd certainly add a bit of size and skill to our forward line. And the latest news is that the Hammers are in for 'keeper Joe Hart as well…

Hart would be a bad buy, surely? Showed in Italian league and of course for England that he is now chronically error-prone.
He does seem to be in decline Nick, though you have to remember he's won the league twice with City and is still only 30, which is youngish for a keeper. If it's just a confidence issue perhaps WHU can get him back to top form? Looks the sort of player who will work hard at his game rather than just take he money. Guess a loan would be ideal to see how he does for a season before any deal. Though I also think on his day Adrian is a very good keeper.
