I'm generally very positive.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan | BVB confirm transfer
- Thread starter United Pro
- Start date

I like this deal.
Facts about Mkhitaryan from wikipedia:
- He is fluent in six languages
- His dad's name is Hamlet. Hamlet sadly died of a brain tumour aged 33 and this has had a major effect on our Henrikh.
The rest is silence.

Given what Di Marzio has been reporting, I'd be surprised if Dortmund accepted €32m. I suppose it makes a change that the British media aren't inflating the fee as much as possible though!
it could be the transfer fee excluding bonuses?
MUFC waits a year to get him
Another club comes in and buy the player for 26M
Same poster comes to Caf and ask for Woody resignation
One thing I've learnt is not to cheer before that famous fat lady sings... how many times haven't various player signed for us and in the next minute appear outside Munich or Barcelona?
Booted out and sold to the highest bidder I guess.
Perhaps, but then that wouldn't be a reflection of the true fee. Normally they would report it as such.
The effects of Brexit.
Considering that SSNHQ reported that West Ham bid £28m for Lacazette last week after supposedly having a £31m (as reported by the same outlet) bid for the same player rejected a month ago, I'm now starting to believe that british journalists struggle badly with the currency rates post-Brexit.
Great news, especially at that price. Our RW options have badly needed an upgrade. Assuming he'll play RW for us.
Whether it's 26m or 32m Either way it's a great deal for a top quality player.
Really happy with it, and think he will fit into our squad well. Him speaking multiple languages and already being friends with Januzaj will help.

Literally none of those things would happenMUFC waits a year to get him

Should we sign him, hopefully the fans make him feel welcome - even if he misses a chance. We don't want another Forlan type situation where the pressure they put on themselves is too much. Haven't seen him other then clips but it's great for his country. There are no little countries Goodluck Henrikh
Goodluck HenrikhSeems like this one is looking like enough of a goer to comment on.
I can't spell his surname, his Caf age is roughly 73, I've never really been sure on what his best position is, and he's got a nose that could rival Rashfords.
I approve of this deal.

Much obliged!
I don't care what anyone says, I'm calling him Micky
The last player that I used the name "Mickey" for was Mikel Silvestre.
Henrikh is our new Mickey !!!!
Henrikh is our new Mickey !!!!
Sky reporting we have agreed £26.3m fee for him. Is this done dealio?
The big question is does he play e4 or d4?
A quality player with 1 year left will remain in Dortmund for a whole year without a club kidnapping him?
Seriously now?
We won´t. The "Ruhrnachrichten", which is a far better source in terms of Dortmund affairs than anything else so far, state the fee at around 40 Mil.€ according to their own sources.
That also means, the deal is indeed basically done. Good luck with him.
Not suggesting this is a good idea at all for this scenario, but does anybody with a bit of knowledge on transfers know if this kind of deal would be possible:
buy him now for ~5m and loan him back for a year. It ensures that we don't miss out on our player, it ensures that BVB get more than a free transfer and they also keep the player for another year.
It popped into my head while BVB were looking likely to refuse to sell
Pretty sure we could get him to sign a pre contract and join us when his Dortmund contract is up without having to pay the 5mil.
Once it's on BBC then we can safely say its complete..
I don't think either club will want to do that. We miss out on a year in his prime and Is 5 mil really worth it for Dortmund. While they have to keep an unhappy player.
apparently the only way to validate his entrance to the club is with a rendition of the Macarena, replacing said Macarena with Mkhitaryiarmenian
Of course it would be possible. However it sounds pointless when we could sign him for free without dealing with Dortmund. But personally I'd rather we signed him now so I can enjoy watching him playing for us this upcoming season. I don't care whether it costs us £26m or €40m. Football forums are becoming more about accounting these days and it's tedious.
Great deal
I absolutely agree that its better to pay the money now than mess around, I was just pondering alternatives as I thought it was dead in the water a week or so ago.
This has been overhyped, the pound was lower than it is now within the last 2 years, it isnt having a big impact on football transfers at the moment
He works for Sky Italia.Sky sources - Di Marzio.
One issue is that Dortmund would have no reason to play him if they decided to promote a younger player to the position or sign a replacement. In an ideal world they'd play him, but the risk would be that they just let him rot on the bench.
I'd love to see how Dortmund would have reacted if Gotze had announced his move to Bayern even earlier than they did. I think the Dortmund fans are REALLY passionate, and if they knew Mkhi was leaving, they'd probably be very unhappy to see him playing.
I'm always wary of players that have been linked with Liverpool within the last 12 months but this guy has come on leaps and bounds in that period, looks a top player and would definitely improve the side. And if he signs soon I have a month and a bit to learn how to spell his name before the season starts!
Welcome to our new overload, Raiola.
I really believe this signing is a game changer for the premier league, a bit like silva ozil hazard and mata (for Chelsea) were.
he has absolutely incredible vision. exceptional work rate. and scores goals! I think he's the signing of the season in europe i really do.

much better deal that if it is 32m eur.
He had a really good season last year so maybe he thought "shit, I'm being linked with Liverpool, I'd better up my game".
Well, yes and no. Any player we sign from Europe now is going to cost us about 8% more than they would have this time last week.
So that's the German players player of the year signed, the best player in the French league coming for free, how about Pogba representing the Italian league as the cherry on top....
