Woodward deserves a statue if that happens. Plus, I hope if this is the case, the Glazers don't restrict our spending on another Ozil/Griezmann/Dybala type attacker in the summer.
I was actually gonna say, he runs very similar to Cantona.This would be the best deal since Cantona
I think we would struggle to find a club willing to pay £35m for Mkhitaryan given his salary and his form. He isn't a hot player in the market and his salary will be a huge cost for whoever signs him. If he would need to cost £35m with such a salary that is money I'd prefer to spend on other younger players if I had to make the decision.
On the other hand, Jonny Evans is talked about as a £30m player these days, for perspective.
Who could Arsenal buy in January with £35m? Not many options when it comes to playmakers.
You're not living in the same reality as me then. United may have historically given their players away for peanuts but thankfully that's stopped post-Fergie.
When you look at it that way, it's not a bad deal for them. Because let's be honest, Mikhitaryan is still a good player.
Reckon Woodward would stump up the agent fee to get this across the line if he absolutely had to. If it's no fee between the clubs his cut surely won't be anything astronomical + Mkhi's future (and therefore resale value which is key to him) looks pretty dire under Mou so he probably wants him to move.
It's a sure sign they have the inside track in this negotiation.
I would prefer Rachel Riley please
No, but they could put the £35 million towards a world class replacement. If I were Arsenal, I'd be demanding cash plus Miki for a player as good as Sanchez, even though he's at the end of his contract. Failing that, I'd be asking for maximum cash. A straight swap sounds a bit too good to be true from our perspective.
Absolutely. If I performed in my job (against expectations) like Mkhi has at his, I'd be sacked. My own ego and self-worth would also mean that if I felt I had more to offer, I'd move to somewhere else and show my worth - even at a lower salary.
Wouldn't we all and she's a red
Jose + Raiola crushing clubs for breakfast. I would not be surprised if we got the Emirates stadium as part of the dealMust be bullshit
Dortmund knew he wasn't the player they wanted, and now we know why. He just doesnt cut the mustard.
Nah, he was refusing to sign a new contract at the time. Was coming off a good season.

They'll be hard-pressed to find a world class player willing to join them in January, especially considering their situation. They aren't exactly in the position to make demands either, as if we back out, they're fecked once they lose him on a free in the summer after paying his wages for some extra months. Arsenal's board is profit-oriented so they'll probably want to avoid that.
I have never seen a complacent Mkhi on a pitch. Frustrated - yes, frustrating - yes, but never careless ot unprofessional. In any case, I am all for Mkhitaryan to do what is best for his future. If he does entertain the idea of playing for Arsenal, then he is entitled to consider his options. And it is not like he is stealing a living either.
This is the most sensible thing I've read in the last 47 pages!
How about Mata for Ozil while we're at it
United ------> Arsenal
Weren't there other very trustworthy articles saying he has up to £90m to spend this month should he want it?
Go on Woody!
Its not that easy:
Thanks.
I think Liverpool have overpaid for Ox but atleast with Ox he is still a young player and if the trainer sees potential and develops it than that money can be more than earned back.
They are certainly a difficult position now, having let both Sanchez and Ozil run down their contracts. That's criminal management.
Good point. I had actually forgotten about that. So underwhelming it's hard to remember it.
You forgot Welbeckinho ------> Arsenal and the uproar that caused.United ------> Arsenal
