The Austrian international, has grown increasingly frustrated with what he sees as a lack of ambition at the bet365 Stadium, and wants to be able to move on this summer. Cant argue with that There you are as I thought😡we really are playing a dangerous game with our premiership future

Soooooo.... sad!!! I do not blame him. Ambition to the club seems to be just to stay in PL.

I'd argue its more likely he's had his head turned. Not great timing though...

So that West Ham ITK did know something after all?

Lack of ambition ???? Who could be at fault for that, surely not the whole hierachy ?

Lack of ambition has led to this. He wants out then fine. Club must take their share of blame as well

Was probably promised things to sign a new contact last summer and we've not carried them out, I'm not surprised.. still, kick in the nuts if he goes sideways to West Ham.

Cant argue with that There you are as I thought😡we really are playing a dangerous game with our premiership future Indeed He may of course be using it as an excuse but there is more than a grain of truth behind it This may push Shaq over the edge as well

Not really. I'm in the minority and said it many time on here that the amount of times he really up for it is about 3/10. The rest he's in and out. Move on for me. We would of been relegated last season without him, i'm pretty certain of that For me he's still a 3 in 10 games being absolutely up for it. It's why he's never made it at any big clubs.

Matter of time before Butland, Shaq and Sobhi are thinking the same

Wet Sham have tapped him up then!
Great player on his day, but no one is bigger than the club. Get the best price we can (surely pushing 20m?) and move on. Ramadan's time has come. Use the money to strengthen elsewhere - buy Bruno/ANOther and Delph and we go again.

Is West Ham enough to turn his head to this extent? Very odd. They're not massive payers, are they? And never going to come higher than 8th.

Wow, was not expecting that..
He has to go now if it's true
He's just signed a big money contract with us, you'd think there was a concrete offer somewhere else, there's no way as a player he'd risk being stuck contracted here after handing in a transfer request?
Fuck me it's depressing being a Stoke fan at the moment

That transfer request brings his valuation way down. We lose bargaining power.

Very inconsistent player, but has done well for Stoke, no need to get bitter about it. We don't need to sell, so if they don't want to play the price, just don't sell. He was fairly awful in a lot of the games at the end of the season, we should have been playing Sobhi more, in preparation for this season.

Cant argue with that He's hardly likely to say "I've had my head turned as my agents told me what other clubs will pay me" though is he? We'll see I guess either way he's under contract so if he wants out the buying club will need put their money where their mouth is......

Makes you wonder if there's real issues in the background.
Everything is about players leaving at the moment.
Hopefully we have irons in the fire.

Pretty sad if this is the case. Can only hope he ends up on the continent. Id hate to see him in West Ham colours.

Either Coates gets his transfer dong out or we lose our best players, it's up to him. Can't wait for Benji now, probably having a wank over this tbf.

To be fair, I don't tend to put too much stock in 'Sky Sources', but Dorsett reporting that the links have 'turned his head'.
Personally, I think any player is up for sale at the right price...

Sadly players have all the power An brooding maverick like Arnie will be way too disruptive

Please don't let it be a Prem club, if he went to WHU I'd despair.
