Arnie's extension

Bizarre timing to announce that Marko Arnautovic has signed a contract extension just after the defeat at Wimbledon. Call me cynical, but is the contract extension simply a way of ensuring the club get a bigger fee in the summer? Or does Arnie now have Irons in his soul? Arnautovic clearly realises he has some work to do to win the fans back and has released a video on the club website saying that he wants to play for "you guys" and loves the club. He emphasises that he never refused to play, which is a fairly low bar for a professional athlete. But still, it is a positive development that he wants to stay for the season and is making the right noises about loving the club. The best way to win back the fans will be to give everything on the pitch and score some goals. And a new agent wouldn't go amiss.
