I have a question.If bvb is ready to allow mkhitaryan to leave for free next summer can we agree a deal with him right now (officialy) to join us next summer?
Henrikh Mkhitaryan | BVB confirm transfer
- Thread starter United Pro
- Start date
- Status
Yeah what else would Watzke say? Miki is not signing a new contract, so we will have to sell him for cheap now or he leaves for free?
Dortmund can well keep him this season, but pretty much all the Dortmund fans have said Miki has a weak mentality. So if he's forced to stay, you reckon he'll perform at the same level next season? Likelihood is he'll revert back to his form of 2 seasons back and then leave on a free.
Mourinho needs a playmaker now, not in a year's time.
No, we would have to wait until January.
I hope we sign this guy before preseason starts.
I know that.But it is possible to agree a deal with bvb to sign him for free next season?(To avoid anyone from hijacking the deal)
Your point was that you hadn't seen much of him, nothing in that was anywhere close to being a comparison to Mata or the amount of times you had watched him. Even with that I think he will be a fantastic addition to the team and will improve us on what we have. Mata is not a starter under Mourinho which is a shame as in the no.10 role I think he could thrive for us, with having two good wingers either side and a striker in the mould of Zlatan up top.
He will leave Dortmund, that's for sure. This summer to us or next summer for free to another club. I really hope he joins us, we really could use him.
Why would they agree to that?
He'll be a free agent so Dortmund wouldn't have a day in where he goes in a year's time.
Legally he can only sign with us in January,but you can always have a gentlemen's agreement with his agent that he will come to us. Almost like what Lewa did. He said that he didn't want to join anyone else but Bayern.
I agree, plus we have some interesting options on the bench left over too, Mata, Herrera, Blind just to name a few. Best we've looked for a while.
Not too fussed if we get him or not. He hasn't set the world on fire but had one really good season. How old is he? 26/27? I'm sure there's other targets out there.
When did this place start turning their noses up at players in their prime? "He's 26/27? do not want!" it's so odd.
If they're not fresh out of the womb, apparently, not worth having.

Thing is, Lewandowski didn't insist on leaving like Mkhitaryan seems to. You are as well taking it for granted that Mkhitaryan will be as professional as Robert in his year, while he could easily go enfant-terrible mode and annoy the feck out of you all.
Like who?
We have some delusional fans who think anyone that United is a place only to nurture and promote youth. I mean there's a thread where some people said they wouldn't trade Martial for Messi. It's completely delusional/wrong for so many people to not want finished products at this club. I swear fans just want to see 19 year olds from the academy lining up with Giggs and Scholes or something.
It's a Football Manager thing in my opinion.
Micky Targaryen imo
Really Good player but I'm not certain he's the right type pf player for us either on the right wing or as a #10. He's excellent in a counter attacking team but despite all the assists he's not someone who's going to help us break down teams who put ten men behind the ball. Defense splitting passes is not really his thing. As a winger he's got a good cross on him but not really someone who's a natural dribbler. Frankly, I'd rather keep Mata.
What? Lewandowski threatened us that he wont play 100% if we force him to stay. Need us to double his wages (!) that he is quite. Then he was professional, right. But before there was a lot of trouble!
I would prefer Mahrez.
All of Mourinho's best teams have been counter-attacking, did you not hear the news about LVG's sacking?
Did you watch Dortmund last season? 90% of the games we faced opponents which played like that. And we achieved a record season.
I am pleased that this name has caught some attention. I was quite disappointed that it didn't get any credit in the beginning.
Wouldn't surprise me. Read a comment earlier saying we shouldn't sign Mickey T as it might stunt Rashford's growth. Swear some people would be happy with us finishing 15th if it meant we played 11 academy players.
Can't remember that, could you provide some source?
just the first one i found:

I did yes. Also just watched a YouTube video of all his assists. Only confirms my view that he's not someone you'd be looking at if you want your #10 to be a really creative force I.e someone like Silva.
Lewandowski wanted to go to your biggest rival.... HUGE difference.
Signing him from slig will be almost as sweet as it would be signing Kane from Glaston.
Difficult situation imo. He is a brilliant player and a logical signing after the season he had, but he is also a very sensible and weird player. He just had his first great season and Tuchel played a huge part in this, I am not sure it's the right time for him to leave and could easily see him struggle in an new environment. That said if he can deliver like last year he would be a brilliant signing.
Difficult situation for Dortmund too, I totally understand if they don't want to sell him, would be too much this summer and like Lewa it makes sense to let him leave on a free. But I am also not sure if he will deliver 100 percent like Lewa did if you force him to stay. He or at least his agent don't have the best attidude. Last year when Dortmund struggled and Miki played shit too he and his agent talked to Juve and said something like he needs to play for a Top10 club and if Dortmund isn't one he needs to leave, in a season where they were last after the first half of the season and he barely showed good performances. So yeah not 100 percent convinced by this guy when it comes to his attidude and his mental state. Talent-wise he is class, no doubt about that.

He's some man to miss a sitter whilst burying the more difficult opportunity.
Yeah, it'll be excellent if it happens.
I dont think he is a world class player. As an attacker, he is in the Mata-mould. But his defensive contribution is really impressive.
I dont see him as a ten at all, but he will be a brilliant right winger for us.

With Mourinho implementing pressing based defence structures he would be a perfect 10 i think (thats for example a big part of the reasons Klopp got him for us). Mourinho must have thoughts like this in mind for wanting him.
Mourinho will definitely get the best possible out of him.
If anyone wants to know if this guy is good enough, he is. Fantastic player to watch and is always positive and ticking, something we've lacked.
EDIT: Be prepared for some shite music
