Supporters of West Ham United have been slating Marko Arnautovic after some of the Austrian’s comments emerged on Twitter.

In an interview with Austrian outlet LAOLA 1, as cited by Hammers News, the Irons’ former striker stated he has a “kind of love-hate relationship with West Ham fans” and that he is “immune” to being labelled a “snake” (via @whufc_news), which riled up supporters.

To kick off this quiz on the goings-on with the Hammers last week, which La Liga midfielder were the Irons linked with late in the week?

Would you ever take Marko Arnautovic back at the London Stadium?

No, he burned his bridges

Yes, he was quality for us

The 31-year-old frontman, who is now valued at £14.4 million (as per Transfermarkt), spent two seasons with the Hammers after signing from Stoke City (per Transfermarkt) and bagged an impressive 22 goals and 12 assists in 65 appearances for the club (per Transfermarkt).

However, after forcing his way out of the club to transfer to China (per The Telegraph) it appears that he has burned his bridges with the London Stadium faithful.

What do we think?

As can be seen in the responses from these West Ham supporters, they are clearly frustrated with their former player and it appears that the love part of the “love-hate relationship” that Arnautovic touted appears to be lacking.

However, due to the way which the Austrian ultimately forced his way out of the club (per The Telegraph), the responses of these supporters come as no surprise.
