SMOKE clearing now on Arnautovic, WH are waiting to get the price up to or close to 50 m / Shanghai have offered 275-000 euros CLEAR a week to the player, although football wise he would probably get the same deal in two years time, his greedy brother is driving him nuts to take it, SHANGHAI as much of China is very interesting and I have been around this country but to live there not for me, he is going to find that part very very difficult. IRONMIKE.

Thanks Mike

Just read they have come back with £45m which if he wants to go get the deal done and although I love him don't want him hanging around the team if his just waiting to go. Once his gone than move forward.

We showed when he was out for a month we scored 9 goals so we can do without him plus as I mentioned before gives other players a little more license as everything does not have to go through him, with Nasir looking every inch of the player he once was in calmness on the ball we can be just as effective without him

Im not sure if they will wait for the summer to replace him but we do look a little light up top. Caroll will be out injured in a few games and although Lanzini may be back soon we do need a physical presence up top. Maybe Dzeko could be used as a stop gap?

I too have been to Shanghai and various other Chinese cities. They are wonderful to visit, but I’m not sure I’d want to commit my future there.

I wonder what the Arnautovic family, especially wife and children will make of it?

From our point of view, he has made it clear to his team-mates that he wants to go, so if we get the £45m the papers are now talking about - take the money and run!
