Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

Attacking midfielder / second striker

Shakhtar's striker Mkhitaryan was in a London hotel earlier this week.

He wasn't talking to Liverpool.

Agent is Mino Raiola, who looks after Ibra and Mario. Very well connected to Baldini.


Hmmm....
 
weve been linked with Mkhitaryan in the past, so it seems our scouting network has been monitoring him for a while

however one other player Raiola represents and who might be of interest to us is Capoue at Toulouse. Big defensive midfielder. Cant have enough midfielders now can we AVB?;)
 
might be one problem with any Mkhitaryan deal though....3rd party ownership
 
Can someone spell his name phonetically because...I'm looking at it and cannot for the life of me think how you say that brick..
 
I'd go for

mmmm...(as in a nice bacon sandwich the morning after a heavy night) - kit - arian
 
apparently Borussia Dortmund have made a 19.5 mill bid for good ol' Henrikh M. That would kinda rule them out of a move for Eriksen imo, and at around 9 mill thats deal might seem more attractive to Levy
 
Anyone think there's any truth to those Mkhitarian rumours?

Seems like someone (agent/club/3rd party owner) trying to stoke the fire to me.

like i said we have been linked with him before, so he seems to be on the radar. But the price is way too much for us imo. Eriksen is a more likely cheaper purchase if this is the type we are after
 
it is concerning however that we are not linked with any decent final 3rd playmaker, someone who can unlock defences, a Silva/Mata/Cazorla/Coutinho type

From what i've seen of Mkhitaryan he would suit us far more than Eriksen. Eriksen to me looks like a player that can only play centrally but Mkhitaryan seems to roam everywhere...so much energy and very creative (although it's hard not to look impressive in that awesome Shakhtar team). Bernard seems to be a creative player that can roam to so the Mkhitaryan link makes sense.

Or Bale on the other side if that's what certain people prefer.

yep, i like that team from a goals POV, and prefer Henrikh to Eriksen too. Still its the creativity is what bothers me. I think Willian had a hand in a lot of Shakhtar's goals
 
Mkhitaryan is currently AWOL from Shaktar pre season training in order to force a move, but I guess it's okay if he's doing it to come to us? Far too expensive anyway.

Was fine when Dempsey did something similar last summer, not quite AWOL, but had to train on his own I think?

From BBC: Forward Clint Dempsey will not be involved with Fulham's pre-season training camp in Switzerland this week.

Dempsey, 29, did not ask to be left out but held talks with manager Martin Jol and it was agreed he should remain in London and train with the youth team.


I guess we'll never know what really happened in any case like this. Mkhitaryan to Pool must be dependant on Suarez money IMO. If there's a 3rd party too, just don't see us being interested.
 
I have never seen mmmmbop play but I have seen Eriksen in the flesh for Ajax against city in the CL last year in Amsterdam. He ran the show and was the best player on the pitch that night. I'd rather we spent €10m on him! He would be a great addition for us.
