Pisser.
Fucking pisser.
China, sums the man up.
He could get a move to a top English or European club if he carries on with his current form for another 6 months and possibly win trophies, but no off he goes to a Mickey Mouse league for another £50k a week when he’s already a multi millionaire.....

I reserve my comments until this all pans out.
Arnie should have footballing ambitions and not monitarty.
Once you are a multi millionaire what else can you do with your money? Waste it, Smoke it, or use it for good.
If this goes this way what a tosser he has proved himself and his brother to be. Pleased and proud he no longer has anything to do with Stoke City.

Still being referred to as an unknown Chinese club too?! Yeah OK! His brothers clearly put a dodgy phone call in to somebody to get the drums beating & in doing so waking interested parties up. He'll either be offski or will end up staying and negotiating himself an even more lucrative deal than he's already on but sure today's actions will have rattled them Hammers and it would be interesting to see how forgiving they may or may not be!
I always say that had Arnie stayed with us prior to instigating his move that im convinced we'd of stayed up last season and West Ham would of dropped out, I really do think he was that influential.. A West Ham fan earlier on Talk Sport admitted they'd have been relegated had Arnie not been at WHU.

Awaiting brother tantrum claiming club lied and is a shit whole behind the scenes (it is and always has been) whilst Arnie sulks on the pitch doing nothing for the next 2 weeks to force a move.
Stay classy Arnoutovic family.

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? "Uranus is my ambition"

www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=168912&sid=d1da2f3ebe7c1e2b1354cd0ce54fb2af&start=2400Amazing really. 1 year at West ham and he's apparently increased in value by 55m according to some. Same player we got 20m for, 1 year older... The irony is that they bizarrely thought they were paying too much for him at the time for the most part! We got such a derisory deal for him because of the circumstances as a result of his behaviour. So if he now does the exact same, how can they possibly expect more than 50m so long as the Chinese club holds firm like West Ham did with us?

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⚒️🖕 Yes but the difference is they know how to maximise value and £35m is the starting not end point. Whereas we claim to have got £25m but £5m of that was in Add ons our clowns would never have collected on and no sell on clause. 👏💩

He was their record transfer fee paid when they signed him. We could always have rejected their final offer in the vain hope that another club would've come in for him but if that didn't happen what then? We'd have an extremely pissed off player on our hands, that's what. In case you didn't know, players hold all the power these days.

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. I can barely remember that. Perhaps I can vaguely though. Even as a half truth, it’s more true than the cockney bastards bleating on about West Ham being the making of Arnautovic the footballer. That’s just an utter falacy. Love to know the stats, how many of those seasons when he was at Stoke did we finish above them in the league? Yet they claim he left a poor side to join something better. Although it doesn’t matter much in the end, without him, we didn’t survive, so they’ll maintain that argument but season prior to him leaving aside, we were much better than West Ham, that’s even if they were in the fucking league with us, I can’t even recall whether they were! That’s how fucking big I think West Ham are 😄

If Shaqiri is good enough to play for Liverpool (which he is) then Arnie is also good enough for the same level, he'd get plenty of games for any of the top 6 sides. I was disappointed when he left Stoke but he's still an excellent player and I'd rather he stayed in English football, he's far too good to be wasting his career in China. Spot on. If you’re judging on talent alone and you ignore the circumstances surrounding his departure, he’s right up there alongside N’Zonzi for me as the best Stoke player of the Premier League era. Shaqiri was quality, but I would take Arnie over him every day of the week. The way it ended left a sour taste, but let’s not rewrite history - he was fucking incredible for us, has been for West Ham and he wouldn’t be out of place in a top six side at all. Let's not rewrite history as you say. He was incredible for us for a few matches every season, but not until he managed to avoid throwing tantrums on pitch, answered the manager's demands to track back some of the time, and overcame to some degree his enormous inconsistency - and the first season here he was mostly crap and was frequently dropped/subbed.

Where as with us, reported around65-70k

This brother really is a piece of work. Having said that he seems to be doing exactly what Marco wants him to do. Good player but crap attitude, just me, me, me. Couldn't care less about anyone else. Hope he goes to China and disappears into football oblivion. At least Stoke get a couple of million out of it, if he goes.

More likely to be 20% of any fee over and above what they paid us for the prima donna. So probably around the £3 million mark. ps Sorry snap with previous poster, which wasn't visible when I read the thread

You're the one re-writing history my friend. He was a virtual ever present in his first season and he played a massive part in our 9th place finish. The only games he missed were the first few before he signed and several games over Christmas when he was injured. Arnie was a great player for us, and was ridiculously under-appreciated by some of our fans.
