Time to get rid of Arnie

So Marko Arnautovic has reportedly handed in another transfer request just as pre-season training starts. He seemed happy enough to take a new contract and a pay rise after all the Chinese whispers derailed our season last Christmas. After a period of sulking his form eventually picked up at the end of last season, but he's such a high-maintenance player that it's now time to get rid of him. If he doesn't want to play for West Ham then goodbye. I'd take the £20 million offer (or £25m if we can get it) just to be rid of him. It will leave the club with a big task in signing a quality striker like Maxi Gomez, but better that than destabalise the whole club. And there's always Jordan Hugill… Hasta la vista, Arnie.

Totally agree, sick of him! A friend who is a Stoke supporter said to me at the time we bought him, that he runs hot and cold and doesnt ever show any loyalty, I thought he was just disappointed that Arnie was leaving Stoke, but it now appears it was a very accurate statement.

Yes, the Stokies were right! We had a good year out of him but should have sold at Christmas,
