Furious Irons say Arnie rumour “100% untrue”

|

Reports that Marko Arnautovic is being hawked around Serie A clubs have this afternoon been condemned by the Irons who have made it clear the Hammers ‘top man’ is 100 per cent not for sale under any circumstances.”

For the second tome this summer the Hammer of last season is being linked with a move away from the club – the first one named of course being Manchester United.

And just as that has been proved false,  the suggestions that he could now swap the Manchester idea for a Milan plan will be too.

The report is seen as an attempt to destabilise everything that has been done in the Hammers transfer window so far – probably by agent activity – and has caused fury inside the club.

A highly placed insider said: “This is 100% not true, Marko will not be sold under any circumstances whatsoever.”

    Great news if true, on the subject of transfer rumours the dubious sportwitness site are reporting that we have approached Genoa regarding Diego Laxalt and have been told the price is 20 million euros ? I seriously hope this rumour is true although doubtful, he looks perfect for the new look Pellegrini team.

      I have written several times that Diego Laxalt would be a great signing. Pace, resilience, discipline, can defend and mark his man. I really really liked him when I watched Uruguay during the world cup.

      That said, I have also written about Dendoncker and Tielemans (to me he is the next boss in the Belgian team).

        Yep not sure personally about Dendoncker Dunlop but Tielemans looks a real talent.

    I hope he is 100% not for sale , love the guy he is brilliant for us . Stupid media rubbish with no substance, the media love to create a story.

    I wondered how long it would be before the old “the club are willing to listen to offers” propeganda started up again with our players, particularly Arnie. Talk sport are trying to sell him to either Manchester United or Roma. The fact is we have spent a lot more than usual for West Ham so everyone thinks we now need to balance the books by selling off all of our existing players. Arnie has been linked with Man U for what seems an eternity. Closest thing theyd doing ever get to another Eric Cantona I suppose. The nagging doubts and past experiences of a West Ham fan make us suspicious that the reason we are buying so many decent players is because our best player is always having a great season before forcing their way out or being sold to another club. In this case I don’t think it’s true. I wouldn’t be surprised if Arnie went to Italy in a year or two, but not now. He would be mad to leave now when he’s finally got some kindrid spirits arriving at the club to support him in attacking the opposition goal. I think he’s going to really enjoy himself this year.

    No ARNAUTOVIC No WHU.

    anyway, I just bluffing. (Hammer Till I die)
    However. Arnie was the epitome of loyalty. It was only his first season but it feels like he shared the dressing room with Paolo Di Canio. All that impact came from half of the season. He decided to fight for the fans. Up to this point I also thank the board for fighting for him and us by firmly stating that he is untouchable. I pray that God touches his heart and convicts him to never leave us.
    COYI !!!
