Angry Arnautovic’s extraordinary outburst

Marko Ararnau2nautovic has bitten back hard at the knockers who have dubbed him a waste of space since his move to the London Stadium

The Austrian international is well known for taking no prisoners and snarled: “Most of them have no work, probably no life and no idea.”

But he told  Laola1. “I respect every real fan, so don’t get me wrong.

“They were all happy to have me come to West Ham because I had done very well at Stoke but they only see what happens in the stadium, they do not see what you do at training and in private. I am highly motivated.

“I know I have a strong character, I know I can get back to where I was. I have lost nothing and I’m not in crisis. West Ham can count on me 100 per cent.”

I came to the club as a record transfer, we played Manchester United in my first game then I got a red card in the second – that was a setback, three games out so no match practice.

Then I came back and got sick – really sick – and then I went to the national team where I was not 100 per cent fit.

Gary Neville also took a pop at his  attitude during the 3-0 defeat to Brighton, though the £25 million signing claims his analysis was a scandal.

He added: “I respect what Gary Neville achieved as a player. He excelled at Manchester United and hats off to him.

“But what did he do as a coach at Valencia? His job is to criticise, that is 90 per cent of his job. I am not saying Gary Neville is a nobody. He has accomplished a lot in his life, he is a legend. But as a coach? Let him stay on the TV.

“All England is watching on that Friday night, the whole world is watching, and we lose 3-0 to Brighton. Who do you pick out? You pick me out, of course, because I’m the most expensive transfer. No other player was [picked out] but I was a scandal!

“But I do not want to criticise people, I’m a critic of myself. If I’m doing something good, I keep trying to work on myself. If I’m doing something bad, I try harder.”

  1. Fair enough. I’d rather the criticism pi**ed him off than him not caring. I am hoping that he will come good. But then I am still hoping Pablo Barrera will come good.

  2. Love his take on the manc !! 👍 I like him a little bit more now and hope he comes good under Moyes 😁

    • I think this guy is a loose canon.You would think Stoke are laughing all the way to the bank.He hasn’t shown me much to justify his transfer fee.Anyway Basil “don’t mention the war” LOL

  3. At long last, he has shown some fight, which is a big plus because he has shown jack shyte on the pitch up until now. My old mum says judge as you find, and to date I’ve found this clown to be a complete waste of money. Maybe, just maybe, we will get some of the class he showed at Stoke under a new regime? Let’s hope.

  4. Is this really an ‘extraordinary outburst’? I would describe it as a reply to criticism. Nothing extraordinary about it.

    He clearly hasn’t done much to lift a team that has been poor all season ( well, for over a year to be more accurate). As to whether that is because he is lazy I don’t know. Sometimes players just look lazy. Ozil has had this for ages. Then somebody looked at his stats & found he was running more than than the rest! Sometimes they look lazy when their confidence is low or they don’t understand their role in the team. But sometimes they look lazy because they are! So I am prepared to see whether Moyes can get anything out of him.

  5. I agree 64 not really an outburst even said he respected him as player. And agreed w Laz & Jimbo I just want to see it on Pitch & hope Moyes can get it out of him.
    I always thought he would be a risk when teammates say he shows up when he wants. But he has talent if Moyes & staff can take that talent & make it more consistent he as the ability to be a very big player for us.
    I think his reply was fine & hope he follows it up on the pitch
