Henrikh Mkhitaryan

[Rich]

I'm more worried about him turning into a Sahin

[Liverpel]

I haven't been this excited since we signed Aquilani.

Unless you're exceptionally good a lack of pace in this league can make you look very ordinary and along with his complaint of being played out of position it looked even worse.

I think Micky will be fine

Zidane is 6'1, nearly 6'2.

Height 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in)

So a few inches shorter than Insua then?

[Fredo]

To be fair, you're a bit of a tool

Oh, that hurts.

[Pablo]

So we're all agreed that pound for pound (or should that be inch for inch) he's better than Zidane

[BigChief]

Any news if he's in the UK now, undergoing said medical? Twitter's quiet for such a busy signing.

The player has flown back to Ukraine to meet with both Liverpool and Donetsk officials, before completing his transfer to the Merseyside club.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been accompanied by his sister and his mother, who works for Platini as a translator, and will complete a medical examination this afternoon. The Shakhtar team are currently in a pre season camp in Austria, but Henrikh was given leave so he could enter intp talks with Liverpool, finally after a fee was agreed. The 23 million fee has reportedly been agreed after the Shakhtar head coach had confirmed that an unnamed team had met Mkhitaryan buy out clause.

After touching down in an airport in Ukraine, Mkhitaryan was seen signing Liverpool shirts for fans. Most of the 23 million fee will come from the expected transfer of Andy Carroll to West Ham.http://www.vavel.com/en/football/pre...khitaryan.html

Oh, that hurts.

"Bit"

[Fredo]

"Bit"

He did.

So the medical is happening in the Ukraine and not here? I'm confused.com

[kev776]

I read that as had the medical in Liverpool and has flown back to Ukraine to speak with Liverpool officials

[Sarb]

No. Rumours were that Ayre and co had flown out to Ukraine. Thing is you don't know how many of these news sources just regurgitate what is written on twitter and post them as stories.

I blame Duncan Jenkins for this

Was thinking that myself, but then the article mentions "will complete a medical examination this afternoon". That's a lot of flying.
