Some great transfer window happenings right now. First, apparently West Ham was offered $35m for Arnautovic by a club in China. They said he's not for sale, but his agent said that he wants to leave and the club has been given a good offer and they should take it.
And earlier today Unai Emery says that they can only sign players on loan and can't afford any transfer fees. It's probably because its Stan Kroenke, but I also wonder about the sustainability of the fees we've seen in general? Most clubs have spent piles of money, and at some point if you're spending that money and not getting results it has to stop somewhere? It's one thing when it's Spurs and people chalk it up to Levy being cheap or the stadium. But if other clubs are forced to reduce their spend it seems more questionable.
