    Mitrovic signs new Fulham contract. Another one off the list. At least Sturridge is still available :weep:

    No interest in Mitrovic from me. Fulham are welcome to him.

    Looks like Gomez could be ours...

    I’d be surprised if SSN know what day of the week it is right now. They’ve covered practically every eventuality over the last few days.

    A huge number of conflicting stories out there re: Gomez

    However, now Lukerz has confirmed he is pretty much ours, that’s good enough for me.

    Can we now move onto what his squad number will be. I reckon AC’s number 9

    Arnautovic has officially gone.

    https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2019/july/08-july/marko-arnautovic-departs-west-ham-united-chinese-super-league

    Icy write up by the admins.

    So, will Maxi take the No9 or No7 :wahoo:
  • BarneyBarney
    Arnie gone - thats a good chinese takeaway

    Great write up by the club admin. Keeping it short and sweet and neither wishing him will nor thanking him for his contribution to WH. Rightly so IMO

    One of my memories of season 18/19 was the sheer number of chances Mitrovic passed up for Fulham. Loads.

    Don't mean he's bad because of one bad game.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    If we have the ambition to be more than a mid-table side, we need to sign players who have the potential to be top 6 players. I don't think Mitrovic (or Rondon) fit that profile.

  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Top 6 potential costs, and if we do blow £40m on Gomez - who by all accounts fits that profile - we won't realistically be able to afford another one. So Rondon at £16m make sense to me; a back-up to Gomez who is relatively cheap and someone who we know can do a decent job at this level.

    My psychic powers tell me Maxi Gomez will be Maxi Gohammerz soon

    Indeed, but then I'd sooner see us take a punt on a young player with potential. I think with players like Mitrovic and Rondon, we've seen all they are ever going to have.

    Of course, either of them could have a Grant Holt season, and bang in 20 once in their lives, but it isn't going to be a regular occurrence, imo.

    I'd settle for one season in a West Ham shirt though Grey. :wahoo:
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Well, indeed! It's the other seasons that would be the disappointment...
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    But we are so used to them :lol:

    I like him. End of

    Probably just me, but I think the write up for Arnautovic leaving could have been a bit more gracious.

    No need to wish him well, but could at least have thanked him for his contribution. Makes us look a bit petty.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    If I had been worsened financially by potentially an eight figure sum on account of someone’s actions, being gracious would not be high on my agenda.
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    You reap what you sow, on this occasion I think the club / Admin / PR have clearly understood the frustration and disappointment from the fan base, after he basically got taken back and accepted again in January, second chances and all that.....

    Fool me once......

    He can go and rot in the China Sunday league for all I care, counting his money......zero ambition from what could and should’ve been a top professional.

    Goodbye and good riddance

    We learn and we move on

    It seems he’s messed us around and thrown a few sulks, but I still think we don’t lose anything by showing a bit of grace and taking the high ground.

    I agree with Mrs G that we’ve made ourselves look unnecessarily petty.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Nope, not for me. Not after what he did in Jan, only to come back for round 2 in June.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    All about the onions.

    For me, the club could have better highlighted Arnie's graceless twonkery by behaving in a contrasting manner.
