He (or rather his brother) will use that to either get more money or a big move. He's already set the groundwork with a spat at the weekend. But you cant blame any footballer who's career is short - look at Rooney's last big pay rise and how he blackmailed Man Utd and No £100k = around £5 Million per annum - so you can do so more more in the circles they move if they are on £20 million - secure for life
Don't say you wouldn't

I can't believe they're still giving it the old 'it's his destiny' shtick. If you're going to be sleazy, money grabbing cunts, just own it. You're not fooling anyone. I bet his cunt of a brother was like a bitch in heat when he heard about the offer.

Amazed and proud that we were able to keep him as long as we did - always enjoyed watching him. Good luck to him - at 30 I'd take the offer all day long if it's as lucrative as reports suggest - he's not gonna win anything with West Ham anyhow.....set you and your family up for life - why wouldnt you.....

He should already be set up for life anyway - must have earnt close to £20m in his career - what's anothe 4 or 5 million going to do - he will already have more money than he can spend. If he wanted to go somewhere to win something then I get it but their career is short - he will look back on his time thinking "I wish I'd won something" What the hell difference does it make between having £20m in the bank and £25m in the bank

Don't see the issue myself, he wants to play at a top 6 but no offers have happened(even though he could). So a club in China have come calling offering between £250k-£400k a week, at 30 he would stupid not to consider it. Some stoke fans need get over themselves, they would do the same in there own job. He had a falling out with Hughes before he left and he wasn't the only European winger to do so....

He had a contract at Stoke you fucking cockney wankers It's the food chain of football. You are just an average club with no chance of winning anything, he will either go for trophies or money. Don't be bitter⚒️🖕

Oh Arnie!! he's Soooo predictable off the pitch if not on it! It's obviously a' come and get me quick' ploy to alert the top 6 to his itchy feet and make it uncomfortable for West Ham if they try to keep him. All started with his Pre Christmas injury, then Tantrums with the Boss. Thing is, what if nobody comes in to rescue the poor bear from his mid table mediocrity and he actually DOES have to go to China? Where next? Does Daniel sort out a moon trip or something to see if there's another team in the Universe willing to 'carefully manage' the Austrian maestro? I guess an extra £5mill comes in useful on your day off if you're a Pro footballer though. You can never have too many Ferraris or Tatts! What a Wally!

Its a completely different way of living. New challenge my arse.

I always thought the whole 'ambition' thing was a convenient excuse which just happened to become a reality. It's always been about greed, plain and simple. Arnie is as bad as his brother, he must be allowing him to say these things in public. Great footballer, greedy and not very likeable human being (IMHO). What an absolute waste if he does end up spending the prime of his career in some sub-standard league full of has been mercenaries.
Serves West Ham right though, and more fool them for falling for all the crossed arms crap.

I cannot stomach West Ham supporters thinking: 1 that they made Arnie, it was no master stroke to stick him up front, it should have been tried at Stoke and he was always our best player even on the wing. 2 that this is some new development and an absolute travesty. Why would he change the habit of a lifetime? Why do they think no top side will touch him?
Arnie was, and is a fantastic footballer but clearly with his brother pulling the strings, an utter shit human being.
Quite amusing I suppose. Shame though as he’s a fantastic footballer when all said and done.

I bet Scholes has written a hefty sell on fee into the deal, ...........oh in a minute this is Stoke we’re talking about According to the Guardian Stoke is expected to have a 20% percent sell on clause. In other words if he goes for £35M we can expect £7M suddenly showing up in our accounts. More if his brother and the shammers are able to push the transfer fee higher. If we were to target realistic championship players £7M can go a long way towards bringing in 3 players. Although if we insist on buying someone we have never heard of it will just be our first down payment...

it was no master stroke to stick him up front, it should have been tried at Stoke and he was always our best player even on the wing. That halftruth gets repeated all over this board a lot. Arnie was tried upfront, perhaps more as a 10 than a 9. Sorry I cant remember the exact game but it was when we still had Assaidi and Moses as wing options. But Hughes being Hughes gave up the experiment after 45 minutes never to be tried again.
