Mkhi would be a moron to let this opportunity slip. He'd be at the perfect club for him.

can anyone confirm whether Mhki has to go to arsenal or just leave?

Reading that Ornstein blurb seems to be one long contradiction :confused:

Talkshite spouting usual drivel, say Chelsea now in driving seat!
it's fecking incredible how "city believe chelsea are in for him" has become "chelsea are now in the driving seat"

One comment made by some City source that briefed the outlets and now they are clickbaiting the shit out of it.

I agree. Wenger made it clear the other day that he wants this saga sorted out ASAP and there's no way Sanchez will stay there. If Mkhi is refusing to go then we'll just end up offering money.
United will know other clubs are interested in mhiki, arsenal I think would like mhiki but would happily take just cash I think by end of the day, we will know what's happening. Don't listen to jim white just trying to create suspense .

He's up.
Why even post stuff from Balague though?

He quality of 'journalism' is biased and generally appalling.

After every one of his Tweets posted here, it is simply followed by either abuse towards him by our fans and people laughing at him.

At the end of the day though, he is the one laughing at us as we're giving him the spotlight.

only advantage they'd have is Sanchez saying last May/June he wanted to stay in London.

Fee theyd match easily, they could match his wages too without a problem lets not forget they're owned by a multi billionaire - but they are more FFP abiding now.

Wouldnt surprise me if they were in for him, of course they should be, so should Liverpool but i think the deal is too far along

To be honest, Arsenal would be the best fit for Mkhi as his next club.

- Playing more of a Dortmund-style, where he could roam around
- Aubameyang seems likely. Good pairing.
- Would play every week if in good shape
- Would do better with less pressure on him

Cons:
- Managerial doubts, who's the manager next season?
- Wages

Anyone who is hating on Mkhi right now will look like an absolute fool the next time they accuse any player of not being loyal for wanting to force a move.
For some reason fans find it perfectly ok to abusively force a player to get the feck out but if a player wants to leave, for whatever reasons, and the fans don't want it, they're extremely pissed. Either be loyal in both directions or forget about the concept of player loyalty as a necessity altogether.

If Mkhi doesn't see his next step in life being living in London and playing for Arsenal, then he shouldn't be forced to. But we'll see.

What if he doesn't want to play for Arsenal? Doesn't want to live in London? What then? Should he just do it anyway so Man United fans get their guy?
He's had an absolutely disastrous time at United, surely Arsenal is as good as it's going to get in England. If anything, he's lucky to have this opportunity.

I don't understand. It's clear that he's moved on from providing actual news to wumming the United fans.

If Mhki fecks this up I will hate him forever
I've already started to seriously dislike him. I'm sitting here wasting my time pushing a button on my keyboard over and over again. Feel like I'm in Lost. All because of Mkhitaryan.

Ballague still at it.

Imagine if we hired Xavi as manager after Mou. He would either top himself or buy a season ticket at Old Trafford. Or maybe so confused he would top himself while watching a United match.

Wonder how much City lost paying salary to players out on loan like Hart or Nasri or paying players like Mangala Robinho Tevez Dzeko Bravo and plenty other guys that either did nothing or went out of favour with them. Typical press they hit United with the negative narrative.

:lol:

Seriously though, he's obviously out in the cold at United - so why wouldn't he go? He's got no particular allegiance to United so a move to Arsenal would see him living in London and play every week. Win win.

I do agree with City and Pep in one sense though, he's never worth 400k a week at all (if true, sounds well over the top)

BvB have about 10k attacking midfielder talents more promising than Mkhi, but no serious strikers apart from Aubameyang.. That young Isak is still a teenager.
Think you’re underestimating how well Mykytarin played for Dortmund.

Arsenal are a club with zero ambition who haven't been competitive for major trophies in over a decade and whose best players can't wait to leave the club. He would be crazy to want to go there.

It appears that this is the second time they have agreed to sell Sanchez subject to getting a replacement but can't find anyone who will sign for them.

They’re daft if they are limiting their wage structure to KDB.
Yea he comes across as the least marketable player in lets say the top 5 players in the PL.....Sanchez helps in the South American market
and the cross over to North America where many South Americans now call home....

Can't believe Mkhitaryan is going to screw this all up for us. Will never forgive him.

This saga is supposed to be about Arsenal needing a replacement for Alex7s. Everyone seems to think that player is Mick the Tarman, so who are the alternatives from Chelsea or Liverpool if they are apparently interested?

Yeah if I was him I'd much rather take a step down to Arsenal, play every week, be one of the stars there and have the opportunity to become loved by the fans instead of rotting away at Man Utd while being hated by everyone.

God knows i had my fair shares of having a go at Mkhi on the pitch but people actually having a go at a guy because he is was enforced to be a key to unlock Sanchez transfer, what the feck is wrong with people!?

:lol:

Maybe he does want to go but not to Arsenal, not aiming this at you but if Sanchez deal falls through, there will be plenty here and out there who will abuse him just because in their eyes he ruined their wish to sign Sanchez by not playing ball.
