Henrikh Mkhitaryan

That article is pie in the sky. Where the **** is Mickey going to get 20m to pay shakhtar off? We can't give it to him cos he'd be taxed on it. Smashing open his piggy bank as we speak.

Silly season is right.

[Fivex]

Maybe that's why we're negotiating with his 'investors'?

[Baracus]

Its been 31 Days since we were first linked with HM..and recently no sign of Ayre..we maybe negotiating for the return of Ian

Pray for Ian

I hope #LFC are keeping everything kosher with regards to this #Mkhitaryan deal. Player is on strike, forcing a move.

So what happens if we sign him and in 2 seasons time he wants a move to Spain. Will he go on strike again if we turn bids down? Im not very impressed with the way he's gone about the situation

Exactly what I was thinking

Who cares, we will be the CL by then

It's modern football I'm afraid. Sometimes it will work for us, other times against us. At least (assuming any of this is true) it shows he really wants to join us - that has to be a good thing (until he really wants to join Barca ).

You watch after all this, he'll be ****!

This will not be necessary, in 3 years the Barca players will be going on strike to force a move to us, the undisputed champions of Europe.

Get us back in the CL and in 2 years time I will be more than happy for him to move him to Spain. If he did it would mean he has been a success and we would get a decent fee for him considering his age then. Win win.

Mascherano did it to a lesser degree. Sometimes we'll be the party being bent over, sometimes we'll be the .... well.

[dww]

Sounds like a total pain in the arse. Any deal should be on the prerequisite that there's no more 3rd party shinanagins

Not sure when that all really started in football, but it's **** and shouldn't be allowed.

Players are no longer allowed with any third party ownership in the PL I believe.

I think that rule is coming in over Europe too. I dont think its ever been allowed in the Prem. I remember some weird wrangling around the Mascherano transfer.

I think it was a slightly ambiguous rule then, which has now been tightened up after that whole sorry saga.
