I wouldn't worry about him leaving, there's players like Bolasie who is twice the player Arnie is.............. There's one thing for certain. He's ten times the price and definitely not ten times the player.

Arnie is our best player and epitomizes alot of what we've been under Hughes.
I'd even buy his old friend Balotelli to keep him here.

There's no chance we can replace his worth to our team for the money he cost. Just adds to the aura that every now & then someone comes along, joins Stoke City, and makes such an impression that is not seen again for many a moon.....a once in a decade player Aura Shmaura! It's becoming more frequent nowadays! ShawX, Fuller, Huth, N'zonzi, Butland, Arnie, and mark my words Imbula, Shaqiri & Bojan are going to make their marks too!

I'd pay him 200K a week. Mainly to aggravate the Stoke fans who can't handle our players being paid PL wages.

Gutted if Arnie leaves. The only player where I have the remotest hope that something creative will happen at the moment (despite his inconsistency). Maybe if he does go, then Bojan or Shaq will be able to step up to the plate, as they are both still very new to the Prem.

Brilliant. Exciting. Unpredictable. Inconsistent. Entertaining. Frustrating. Inspirational. Depressing. Love him. Hate him. I wouldn't have missed one second of it.

Get rid. He wasn't voted the worst player in the Bundesliga for nothing.
Why? Because every club he's played for has off loaded him.
Comes to Our league and scores a few goals and he wants Messi wages
Fuck him off, he's just using the club

But he has exceptionable ability IMO. On his day our best player. We need to keep him.

The 2 golden rules are...1) Can we do without Arnie? & 2) Is ANY player worth the amount being suggested he wants per week?
My answer to no.2 is for our Club, a definite NO. Love you Arnie, but we have been here before with players of outstanding talent who end up departing to pastures new. Might be a decade before a new visitor to the dogs home comes along and wows the paying Potteries public with almost genius like qualities, but the Club comes first in my eyes.
Only one person can make that decision though at the end of the day.

Every club Fuller played for he was offloaded as are many players I don't get either of your points

The above comments pretty much reflect my own thoughts nicely. He makes an impact, a somewhat enigmatic character but above all an asset we can ill afford to be without right now. You can see the discussions at the top; "what about our top goal scorer then Mr Hughes, keep or get rid". MH, "Errmmm let me think about that".
Do me a favour.

He's been our best outfield player this season. Without those 'few goals' where would we be? Hate to break this to you but most players we sign are going to be 'using the club' to some extent. Nobody comes here because they want to visit Mow Cop.

Maybe,just maybe, he just wants parity with the highest earners. Not unreasonable given he is our top scorer and arguably best player as things stand! I agree there has to be a limit but come on eh ? I bet you were screaming blue murder for the club to give Jon Walters what he wanted. With that sort of attitude we will be back in the championship within two years.

Surely we can make him joint top earner, pay him a big signing on bonus, give him a get-out clause if a club offers 15 million plus, and at least then if we lose him it isn't for tuppence.
Come on stoke sort this out!

I'll be very shocked if arnoutovic stays this summer
We've made quite alot of money out of him when we sell him aswell
But I highly doubt he will be in a stoke top next season, he would of signed when pieters did

I was as dubious as the next person during Arnie's early days but he has proved this season that he definitely is one of those players with the x-factor who can turn a game pretty much on his own. Player of the Season for me.
However the current contract stand-off is entirely predictable. I only hope his representatives have enough sense to realise that this is probably as good as it gets, I doubt a move would benefit the player at all, in fact it could be the death-knell of his career. He has settled and he fits in , that's rare for a player with his type of persona.
