Sometimes in life, you have to address your failings if you are going to move forwards. Marko Arnautovic feels that he knows this well.
At 28, Arnautovic is West Ham's record signing but is not yet the footballer he wants to be or feels he should be. Not this season, not ever.
Teenage years spent running with the gangs in Vienna maybe did not help. Regular expulsions from junior football clubs definitely did not help. And then there was the time he was late for Jose Mourinho three times in a single day.
Arnautovic has led a sometimes controversial professional life, and is now trying to settle at West Ham after a £27m transfer
'We were at Abu Dhabi for pre-season with Inter in 2009,' Arnautovic told Sportsmail this week.
