lets wait until he has actually signed. Didnt Sky sports news say few weeks ago Ibra was about to sign? suddenly gone quiet on that one like..
June 27, 2016 at 5:29 pm #1080939Agree with you rs83 but it’s enough to get us excited. It’s a case of expecting the worst but hoping for the best when it comes to United in the transfer market.
June 27, 2016 at 5:52 pm #1080984@rs83. Sky sports are no longer reliable but on this occasion their “source” is Di Marzio. Di Marzio broke the news of Conte joining Chelsea many months before it was official before doing the same with Mourinho to Manchester United. He also broke Bailly to Manchester United before any official news from the club.
If Di Marzio says Mkhitaryan has signed, I believe him. I am sure he will be a United player.
June 27, 2016 at 5:57 pm #1080993Looks like he’d be a big upgrade on Mata. One major issue for me though is how the hell do you pronounce his name?!
June 27, 2016 at 6:15 pm #1081017@happyhurling. You would think the United recruitment team have it in for us eh? First it was trying to figure out how to spell “Schweinsteiger” or “Schneiderlin” and now we have to figure spelling and pronouncing “Mkhitaryan” hehehe.
June 27, 2016 at 7:13 pm #1081158I don’t care how much we pay for any player to be honest, as long as what we are getting is quality, which Mkhitaryan is obviously.
June 27, 2016 at 7:33 pm #1081176@rs83, it was reported a while back that zlatan would wait till the end of his contract (30th July) so he doesn’t forfeit his bonus. Wouldn’t worry about that signing just yet.
As for pronouncing Mkhitaryan, in the meantime, apparently his nickname is Micki :pJune 27, 2016 at 7:38 pm #1081179Did you know Mkhitaryan speaks 6 languages? Armenian, Russian, English, French, German & Portugese
June 28, 2016 at 11:08 am #1083006Micki! Perfect!!
June 28, 2016 at 2:22 pm #1083630TMA-That`s 6 more than Rooney then.Lol
June 28, 2016 at 3:50 pm #1083789redblood – what did you just say? Rooney speaks Spanish, Italian and Indonesian on twitter
June 28, 2016 at 4:04 pm #1083837Hahahaha,don`t forget his local language-Scouserland.
June 28, 2016 at 8:36 pm #1084311I am allowing myself to be positive regarding us getting “Micki”. Armenian, very difficult name and being very humble and down to earth has put him under the radar of most people. Though different as players, this guy will instantly be taken to heart by most United fans in a similar manner to Scholes.
Make no mistake, if we sign him, he will instantly be the best player in our books. Yes, he is that good. Possibly the worlds most underrated player. He can and is highly capable of playing on either side due to decent pace and intelligence, but ideally his place is behind the striker.
As things stand, we seem to be after Zlatan, Pogba and Micky – which shows he is mainly intended to take a wider role for us. I see no problem with this, though his cutting inside will demand us having an attacking minded right back. Maybe that is why Mourinho sniffing on dependable Azapilicueta (sp?) might have some merit to it. The reason why I am hyping him so, is that unlike almost every other inside forward/ attacking midfielder, he basically has no weakness. He does not get out-muscled like Mata can be, incapable of running or dribbling past players like Rooney or not tracking back and actually help defensively, like Mata/ Ozil. He is the complete package – hardworking and direct in his playstyle. I bet Mourinho rates him as highly as I do. He will be a fan favourite and possibly signing of the season.
June 28, 2016 at 8:57 pm #1084326£26m for a player approaching his peak years, who has been a standout and consistent performer for a long time, and who bagged 20-odd goals and assists is absolutely superb business! He could be a star player (so long as he isn’t forced out of position to accommodate Shrek). Considering you have the likes of Palace bidding £30m for players with potential and Liverpool paid £34m for hot-n-cold performers this is a bargain deal. I’m anxiously waiting to see Micki in a Utd shirt
June 28, 2016 at 9:06 pm #1084332@theMartial Art. I for one, cannot wait until the transfer is sealed and confirmed. He is the one signing who I feel will instantly walk in and become our best player – a real playmaker with great speed of thought, skill, and vision. 26 goals and 38 assists across all competitions, it’s not by mistake.
June 29, 2016 at 8:34 am #1084593What the fuck is going on at OT again? Yesterday it was a done deal for 26.3 million, I wake up this morning and we’ve raised our offer to 35 million. We’ve been signing this guy for fucking weeks and it’s still not done. Liverpool, on the other hand, sort out the signing of Mane in a day or so. I’m getting just a bit pissed off with the way United do business. Either sign the guy or move on and sign someone else ffs!
June 29, 2016 at 8:53 am #1084638You really don’t believe they signed Mane in a day do you?
June 29, 2016 at 9:28 am #1084731My point, Alfie, is that the first I heard anything at all about Mane to Liverpool was 3 days ago and the deal is done. Trouble with United is that they start with a low offer and keep upping it by a fucking fiver. Piss poor!
June 29, 2016 at 9:47 am #1084779And yet when we were linked to Renato Sanches for £40m people laughed at the board when he signed for Bayern at £27.5m, calling them inept for ‘overpaying’.
This particular transfer would be more complicated than usual as Dortmund have already lost two big players. It doesn’t help when the agent is telling stories to the press, which adds fuel to the fire and gives them a reliable source to quote (for once).
We signed Bailly out of the blue, so they must be able to do it.
But Mane to Liverpool was in the media way before he eventually signed.
June 29, 2016 at 9:51 am #1084788jm1502-Everybody knows now that the EPL teams are loaded with money,so the prices will
always go up when we are buying.And especially for United. -
