As we are the standard "want a better contract" club that players like use for leverage, any danger this is what's going on here?

You miss the point - specifically that clubs and the businessmen running them will try to negotiate a favourable deal for the club. That being the case a professional player, given that they're highly unlikely to be experts in the legal ramifications of contracts, image rights or necessarily be fully aware of their actual worth to the club in terms of commercial deals can easily sign a contract in which he's not paid what he's worth or held to unreasonable terms.
What if a player is young, perhaps not particularly bright. A club slaps down a contract for 5 years that might make him a millionaire - but might also under value what he is actually worth to them. That player knows no better than to sign it, even though he's worth more.
Agents or Lawyers correct the balance in the negotiations. In a day and age where clubs are owned often by businessmen looking to make profit, and where even average clubs generate tens of millions of pounds a year on the back of what these players do on the pitch then to me, it's fair that the players get your fair slice of it.
There are undoubtedly agents out there who shouldn't be involved in the game and it should be regulated. But the concept of agents is a sensible one for the players involved.
We have had players both fail and succeed from the same area's/leagues in the past so you can't judge him on Kagawa. They are different players, but if we bought him, like Kagawa, and played him out of position then he would fail too.
We would end up buying no players if the last 3 years are anything to go by if were not buying from places where players had fail previously.
Why so sure?
I dont think half the Armenians have a television
The CEO said he doesn't want a new contract at all.
Because it's not Raiola's M.O. When Matuidi was in the exact same situation the press started to speculate, sending him all over Europe and Raiola did the weird thing of putting quickly an end to all speculation.
I just citate the latest report of the case from the bvb-close journalist röckenhaus:

Not sure how much Schweini has left in the tank. But that has the look of a title-winning side.DDG
Shaw
Smalling
Bailley
Darmian
Schneiderlin
Schweinsteiger
Mkhitaryan
Rooney
Martial
Ibrahimovic
4-3-2-1, good team I reckon
..and DDG is lot better GK wise.
That translation is hard to understand. Is he staying or what?
No chance whatsoever.
He wants to leave. We are his preferred destination.
This one is going to happen. I am quite certain.
I think we will have brought three players in for under £60m soon. Plenty left for a couple big names too, hopefully.
Who's next is my thinking.
Micki on the same pitch as Rooney 
Latest then all will be thinking about "why we gave this limited guy such a new contract?"

Watzkes words: "we have come to the conclusion that Mkhitaryan remains also in the next season in Dortmund"
That quote is from a couple of days ago isn't it? Doubt he will actually force him to stay
Yeah, ask Lewandowski what he is thinking about that. He wont agree with you.
Its a few days ago, but i just want to share the latest information coming from a club-close source.
Micki on the same pitch as Rooney

Limited player being rooney or Micky?
That was to Bayern though...would Dortmund do the same for a foreign club? Do you think he will be as professional as Lewandowski as well and continue to perform to that level when forced to stay? I'm pretty sure a few of you dortmund fans have questioned his mentality already
Rooney of course.
In direct comparison on the pitch it will look funny. If you solve to hire Micki, Rooney as a 10 is the past. He will have no chance against Micki. It will be obvious.
Shiny new contract 10..9..8..7
Thats a good question! I mean that one after his mentality.
If its a foreign club or not doesnt affect a decision of our managment or CEO. To be honest, Bavarian is also a foreign country
There's nothing new in that article it's just summarizing recent events and I don't see Röckenhaus' name near it.
The obsession with age is mind boggling on this forum. That is without mentioning the player in question is a midfielder. Forwards or strikers I can understand, but a being skeptical about a 27 midfielder
Nah he won't replace him in the team. Mkhitariyan would play at RW in all likelihood
Youre right, i didnt see it, sorry for that. But i think the part about the BVB comes from him even if the whole bunch of news is without a name.
Ignore him, he is a WUM. Bayern never made a bid of 35m euros for lewandowski, which they wanted. Bayern knew BVB is their little feeder club and lewa was not going anywhere and they were ready to wait for a year to get him for free. Poor business by Bayern's feeder club.
If you "fix" him on the right side, you wont get the best out of him. He is no player for a stoneage-like thinking of football where is said "x plays left, y plays right" Look at his games for the BVB and you will see that all his strenghts comes from a fluid game where he defend and press a lot, have a nose for tactical space. If you define him as "attacking right midfield" you wont get the Micki you want.
Like this thread
Yeah they never made an offer that high, thatswhy we kept him. But thanks for explaining me my own club.
Iam not a WUM, i discuss here on a normal level.
I think it'll be settled soon.
But I think we should have a price which we should not surpass.
He's a good player but if Dortmund are being unreasonable you can just wait it out another year. But like we did with De Gea,they will eventually crumble at some point.
Slig knows as much as the rest of us. The CEO might say one thing,but it's no certainty that he will do exactly that.
No need to be harping on about the "feeder club" thing, people will just dig further down into the trenches then.
In Mourinho's prefered formation which is 4-2-3-1 the 3 behind the striker is interchangeable, I think Mkhitaryan will thrive in such a role.
Then you missed some of the joy which gives us watching football. Pure asthetic play for me. A melancholic aura, but hardworking and genuine understanding whats happening on the pitch. A combination i never see like that before.
Keep him and you have a demotivated player who doesn't even want to be at the club and is waiting to leave on a free in 2017. Apparently he doesn't have the professional mercenary mentality of Lewandowski either so his form will probably go down a level. The fans might not appreciate his tactics with Raiola this summer either and apparently this guy needs full support to play wellThats a good question! I mean that one after his mentality.
If its a foreign club or not doesnt affect a decision of our managment or CEO. To be honest, Bavarian is also a foreign country
Sell him and you will probably get 35-45m euro for a player with one year on his contract and can bring in someone who actually wants to play for Dortmund. You already have a good replacement with Ousmane Dembele too.
To me it seems like it's only going to end with him leaving. Edit - this summer I mean
Yes of course. The question is when exactly. But as you mentioned, i can imagine with offered 45 mio € Watzke and Susi will chance their mind.
But: Dembele is no replacement for him.
Haha! Funny!Micki on the same pitch as Rooney

I blame Fifa for this, every player in their 30's stop increasing its overall and their attributes starts declining.
Is this on then? It seems to grow 3 or 4 pages everytime I check back here
