Bilic tells new boy: “We all have to help you”

|

Arnautovic 1Slaven Bilic has told Marko Arnautovic he knows he is not deliberately letting us all down.

The 28-year-old has been deeply unimpressive during his time at the club which includes a three match ban for an elbowing incident.

But the manager has put his thoughts in perspective saying: “If someone is letting you down in life, that person is normally doing it deliberately

Marko – I’ve spoken to him a few times, he wants, he tries.

“It would be a disaster to put the blame on one, two or three players. We are all in the same boat, we are together. Marko is a great talent and proved himself in the Premier League.

“He really wanted to come here. His first spell was disrupted with the red card and then a bit of flu, and then the international break, but I’m very positive and I’m sure that sooner or later – but it will be important if it happens as soon as possible – that West Ham fans will be delighted with him.

“He has that quality and we all have to help him. That’s why I also had a talk with him yesterday. West Ham will benefit from Marko Arnautovic.”

    Hey Slav; look after matters at home-why don’t you look after Diafra Sakho?

    Max – Isn’t the difference one claims to want to be at West Ham whilst the other clearly does not?

    Turning into yet another joining the long list of players in recent years ( under Bilic) whose careers have nose dived after joining us. I wish somebody could explain to me why?

    +1 max , I’m seeing loads of players not playing for west ham week in week out jimbo ! Down to bilic or not but the sakho saga started last pre season when sully said he was going to buy a top class striker ( lie ) when before his injury and still to this day sakho has been our best striker for many a year comparitable !! Carroll has been stuffed down his throat and zaza ,ayew to name a few were put before him , and all probably made worse by letting the clueless bilic know it !! And let’s not forget the slap our two keepers got when England’s #1 😂😂 came on the scene with pretty much the same comments aimed at sakho were aimed at them from the hobbit with the big time charlie know all fek all mouth !!! Sakho was never at anytime accused of being difficault to work with before his injury and Sully’s comments ! We all and me included have no evidence of what has and is going on behind the scene but the fact is it ain’t honkey dory whether sakho is the ball some like to kick around or whether its the mobility man who is my favourite simply because he’s crap and another bilic fave !!!
    So if it was me , I’d be on my way as well , as a supporter I have no respect for the board or management and sakho is in his rights to move on and good luck to him , its his life and not ours to judge , the quicker he goes the better because the click bait he’s generating is feking everybody off and a consistent pain on the eyes keeping having to read it over and over again. Let’s see what tonights game brings to the tablet tonight lol!!! 😉
