If those quotes from Raiola are true then there's only one finish to this small saga, I cannot imagine him going to another English club now and no one else will come anywhere near BVB's price.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan | BVB confirm transfer
- Thread starter United Pro
- Start date

I hope he never comes across the cafMessi would start to doubt his choice of profession if it was down to us
haha love it. We (cafe) put the 'fun' dysfunctional.
Everytime I've seen him in CL/EL he's been class until the moment that matters - and then he's been utterly awful. Terrible final ball, scuffed shots, wrong decisions - just woeful.
I fully appreciate that can't be the case given his numbers in the Bundesliga, but I really, really don't think he's worth it.

Zlatan + Mkhitaryan + Bailly + world class CM and id be pretty happy with that.
Bit confused about this, so he IS staying at Dortmund this season. Sounds like he will be off next year when he's free. Also sounds like Raiola is quite annoyed at Dortmund for keeping the player for another season.
Very much doubt that tbh. They will sell him
I didn't watched him at all but watching from youtube videos I concluded that he is quick, good at dribling and he is quite good at shooting from distance and assisting. Is that right, which are his bad sides?
We need quick ball carriers around Ibra if we sign Ibra so if he is quick and good at dribling it might be a good buy.

Incredible, he's never been this good when I've seen him. Also, a lot faster than I thought.
No thanks. If Raiola is so keen for his players to play for us then he can push through the Zlatan deal and send Pogba our way.
And the moment we have secured a fitting replacement and gotten an good enough offer to put a positive spin on the saga, Watzke will reverse that statement, saying that circumstances changed. That´s not Watzke´s and Zorc´s first rodeo on the transfermarket and the notion to not sell him is the only negotiation tool we have left. We will try to bleed the EPL clubs a bit and buy time to get the right replacement.
He's the Armenian Kagawa
Based on the description of his mental frailties, do not want.

He was probably the best Bundesliga player last season after his first two seasons for Dortmund weren't very good. He'd be a HUGE loss for Dortmund.

Impressive video. But most of it is with him on the left side. Are we sure he'll be OK playing on the right for us?
wtf is going on right now!?
Do you not already have that with delegating minutes split between Dembele and Mor? Both look fantastic talents who really need as much gametime as possible.
Do Mendes and Raiola have a good working relationship? Raiola isnt with Gestifute though right?
Is he ready to take the step up to Bayren? Robben needs replacing.

Much faster than Shinji.
Seriously we can only compare with the only other transfer between the clubs?
He can play all 3 attacking positions, as a CM, and as a DLP. However, he only played the latter position at Shakhtar for the most part so it would be tough to gage whether it would translate. His best season for Dortmund came with him mostly playing on the right. I just don't think he can handle the media circus that would be generated as a result of his signing. He's not an instant game changer, but he does have moments of brilliance. Solid signing for €25 million, but really wouldn't pay more, and this is coming from a guy who knows this is our greatest ever player (Armenia).
That comment is tongue well in cheek. I know very little about this guy and can't comment on his adaptability at all.
But if the German posters are pointing out that he doesn't seem to do well under pressure and attention... maybe we need to steer clear.
mkhitaryan is not a deep-lying playmaker. at donezk, he was more of a half-striker iirc. he's best as an interchanging winger imho.
They are correct, it's just the initial expectations that are placed on the guy shouldn't be overly realistic. We are singing someone dependable and reliable, not someone who will transform our attack and turn us into the attack of 07/08.
How was he this past season? My current knowledge of him is that he's a talented, yet incredibly inconsistent player who fails to really show up in big games. Has that changed? If not, then I don't want him.
Don't want him either. Does he even speak English? We need to build a team, not the Tower of Babel.
In his initial time at Shakhtar he was ocassionally used as a DLP but mostly as a CM. But the longer he stayed the further forward he was pushed. I even stated I don't know if he could do it in the prem because he never did it at Dortmund.
he played a more than consistent POTY season in 15/16, yet was heavily attacked for refusing to shoot a penalty in the fecking cup final against bayern, which dortmund lost.
Yes he can speak English, his sister lives in LA.
Thanks. Well then, I feel a whole lot better.
With such little options to choose from as a right winged option, I think we just need to bite the bullet and take the risk on him.
Transfrmarkt has his stats at
31 Bundesliga matches, 11 goals and 20 assists
11 Europa matches, 2 goals and 6 assists
6 DFB Pokal matches, 5 goals and 2 assists
Sounds consistent
He speaks 6 languages and studied business at university level along with the football.
32 Assists and 23 goals last season.
Babel confirmed.
Do BvB have something against making money?
As aforementioned. Wenger doesn't deal with these so-called 'super agents'.
what do you mean? they have something against buy-out clauses, in general, and are obviously not as big a name in world football as they had thought. they're still a feeder club to the top shelf and currently struggling to accept that, IMHO. plus they do not want to be fecked with raiola-style, and i can only wish united the best of luck when/if that cnut of an agent gets more than one of his assets to sign at united..
Want.
