I never doubted you for a minute, Captain Arnautovic. Arnie has announced on Instagram that he is staying — at least for the season. "It is clear that London and West Ham feels like home to me," says Arnie, "let's focus on the rest of the season and let those bubbles fly." I'm not quite convinced that he will now be buying a pearly king suit and doing knees-ups down Stratford Broadway. His West Ham shirt might not actually be like a second skin. This is surely very much the result of the Chinese club not upping its offer and West Ham coming to a deal that he can move on in the summer.
But at least the China crisis is over for the season and West Ham might have a replacement lined up if a bid for Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez goes through. Meanwhile Arnie says he wants to win the FA Cup with the Hammers — which is usually the kiss of death. Learn from the fans Marko, never predict anything going well, ever. Meanwhile Matt and myself are searching for a London pub to watch the Wimbledon FA Cup tie in tonight. That is unless any alternative offers come in from hostelries in Shanghai.
