Judging only from that video I've decided he's a Damien Duff type. Looks decent and I'll be glad to see someone who can take corners
Henrikh Mkhitaryan | José says "We have three"

Last season:
24 games as a RW and got 10 goals and 17 assists
21 games as a LW and got 12 goals and 12 assists
6 games as an AM and got 1 goal and 3 assists
1 game as a second striker, got nothing
Best signing in the summer transfer window probably.
10 or right wing, can also play lw.
Played mostly on the right on the right last season but more looks for space then getting white boots.
I kinda like the salty Tweet from Dortmund. There's far to much fake respect in football from clubs.
If I was in Charge of Chelsea's Twitter, the recent goodbye message to Falcao and Pato would have been very different and would have generated 100x more retweets.

Because that isn´t the price, it is 42,5 Mil. € according to pretty much every credible German source (which all cite own sources)
Well, wishing him to do well would be dishonest by me, but if he keeps performing well it will be at least with a club I symphathise with. If he flops, then it will probably create a classic thread like the one of Kagawa. These are actually the only two outcomes in my book. He either hits the ground running and become one of the Cafe´s most beloved players or he will be one of the most frustrating players to witness by supporters. There won´t be much in between.
Great signing.
Did it delete? Flip, didn't mean to. Anyhow, stop stirring
Wanted to quote it and all of a sudden got an error message. And it was gone. And ffs, if that counts as stirring, people on the Caf really should stop calling the German posters on here sensitive.
Dortmund are butthurt!
They have a habit of stuff like this, ffs they have Solskjaer's boot from 1999 in their museum.
Sky Sports and BBC are saying £26m though, and they are the more reliable sources here. We'll have to see. Didn't the Schweinsteiger fee turn out way less than the initial German sources reported?
Hell yes! I sill have to work on spelling his name though.
Isn't he the current player of the year in Germany? I know very little of him, but trust Jose to know what he's doing.
He's the players player of the year. The other POTY award went to Aubameyang.
Ah now it wasn't the initial one, it was the 'I recall posters on here finding the Gundogan post funny' part. Stirring
Seems like the days of last minute panic buys are well behind us
It does seem that way.
Jose was clearly working behind the scenes during the early part of the year, putting together his short list.
Of all the front running teams in the EPL, it appears that MUFC are the ones getting the business done early.
Easy tiger. It doesn't quite work that way.
The team which buys the most players in a Summer isn't actually ever the title favourite.
Generally 2-3 quality signings (first team players) every Summer is the optimal amount.

Dortmund do? That's pretty cool.
I'd love for there to be a Chelsea museum with a wing devoted to "times our rivals failed which had nothing to do with us".
Seriously? That's brilliantThey have a habit of stuff like this, ffs they have Solskjaer's boot from 1999 in their museum.
The patch of turf that Gerrard slipped on should take pride of place.
Can't blame Dortmund for being so bitter. They're the 2nd best team in what they believe is a far superior league to the PL and Mkhi chose to sign for a United team that's just finished 5th, thus having no CL, and have failed to impress over recent years. Makes for an amusing change compared to the norm.
I'm not as excited as some for this signing because not only do I not rate him as highly as others, if José is planning on playing him on the right then it's just going to be Kagawa/Mata all over again. Hopefully we don't waste the beginning of the season trying to fit him into the team whilst simultaneously trying to accomodate Rooney.

Thats the exact way I learnt to spell his name lol..
Signing of summer so far.. only down side is thats mata away now.
Aye, Schweini was touted at 15 or 20 IIRC, and ended up being 5 or so.
Those who decided to keep their season tickets are no doubt feeling a good sense of smug right now.
The fee is £56m, according to Cartoon Network.
Thanks for the info. Hopefully he's a top quality addition. We need a few more signings if we're to challenge next season, IMHO.
I'd be interested to hear what qualities of his people are so excited about. Would like to view this as a postive step but can't seem to muster the enthusiasm. Hasn't seemed to me like he's even among Dortmund's top 5 players. I'm no Bundesliga aficionado though, admittedly.
Brilliant banter from Dortmund
Tbh, I wanted us to sign Demba Ba off of you guys, just so we could spend a season cheering him for fecking Liverpool over after the slip.
You can see why Dortmund are a bit bitter. Every decent player they have wants to feck off after a few seasons. I'm sure they can get a rendition of you'll never walk alone going to console themselves.
Which means 25 Million Euros. Dortmund are robbed.
Wasn't Schweini signed when the exchange rate was €1.4 to £1? It's more or less €1 to £1 right now.
Thanks Farage, Johnson and Gove you utter twunts.
This is up there with Schmidfield weekend last summer!
Thanks!
He is top quality. No doubt that he will be a huge success in the Premier League. He's a fantastic footballer, that can play on all attacking positions and even has a history in Shakhtar of playing a bit on the central midfield.
He's the complete package. Creativity, passing, finish and dribbling. Great work rate. He's the best player we could've got and at £26M... that's a bargain if there ever was one
We don't confirm them until all the paperwork is done, the players been shown around Carrington, had pictures done, had an interview.
What are the chances of Dortmund finding a way into Europa league after the end of first round CL games
They have a habit of stuff like this, ffs they have Solskjaer's boot from 1999 in their museum.
Seriously? That's brilliant
I think it was his shirt, not his boot. Still funny though. They put it in their museum ahead of the CL final in 2013. Not that it helped them of course
