Poll: Should West Ham pay Marko £200,000 per week?

Marko Arnautovic has been at the centre of the headlines all week with lengthy quotes from his agent brother Danijel that he wants to play at the highest level. And today it emerged in the national press and was confirmed by senior sources to ClaretandHugh later that he is asking for a £200,000 a week salary.
When we approached a senior club insider he confirmed that the approach on wages had been made adding that the club could not pay it because it would risk dressing room discontent.
Marko has since dismissed the claims which is his right and good news if that’s the case although our information quickly confirmed that the morning newspaper revelations are in fact true.
Either way it begs the question: “Is Marko worth £200k a week”  and that’s the poll question we are asking this evening.
We want to here for you and a simple yes or no is the only requirement,

  1. No no no no no !!!

  2. Call his bluff and if he sulks let him go to the highest bidder.Move on.

  3. If It’s ok to pay chicherito 145000k a week to sit on the bench but not ok to pay our star man 200000 k to play every game then Arnie is probably better off going to a top six club. Our owners don’t even want to pay the going rate required to keep Declan rice at the club so why would they pay 200000k to keep our star player and so called talisman?

  4. Unfortunately we wouldn’t just be giving Arnie a raise. It would roll through the club as other players wouldn’t want to be left behind propotionately. We are not yet a top six club and cannot afford the wages they pay yet. It’s not the case of Arnie not being paid enough. It’s that Chicarito is vastly overpaid.

  5. Arnie, rearrange these words for a popular phrase …
    off,
    bugger
