Nothing like Alonso. Christ 98% of football fans in this country would never of heard of this guy 3 months ago. Utd had been linked with Alonso well before we were linked.

The nerve of it.

told you.

Liverpool's signing of Armenian hitman Henrik Mkhitaryan is close to being confirmed after the player reportedly completed a medical at Anfield today.

SportsDirect News has learned Shakhtar Donetsk forward Mkhitaryan skipped out on his side's summer training camp in Austria in order to fly in to Liverpool and complete a medical ahead of signing terms with the Anfield club.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to bring some attacking flair to his Anfield side and had been linked with a £23 million bid.

The Armenian international, 24, is one of European football's hottest properties, having netted 29 times for Shakhtar Donetsk last season as the Ukrainian side bagged a league and cup double.

Mkhitaryan ended the Ukrainian Premier League as top-scorer with 25 goals, one short of breaking the record set by Vitaliy Starukhin in the Soviet Top League season of 1978-79, who also played for Shakhtar.

A Liverpool spokesman declined to confirm the transfer.

@JackSear I have some updates on Mkhitaryan mate. Mircea Lucescu has just done a live interview with romanian TV channel DigiSport.

@JackSear Lucescu: " Now there is the problem with Mkhitaryan who wants to leave. The club has already rejected a substantial offer "


Bogdan Popescu @Bogdan_LFC 2m

@JackSear Lucescu: "A substantial offer equal to the so-called clause which after all isn't really a clause. We'll see what happens further"

Another twist.

It was only matter of time.

His club a trying to get a bidding war happening. I said a few days ago on ST that I don't think we'll sign him because his club will want too much money. There will be no Eriksen to fall back on either so I guess us buying him depends on whether we really feel Mkhitarayan is a priority signing.

A clause that really isn't a clause.



So what is it then?

told you.

to be fair it was a ridiculous comparison. No one else took up the baton so I came through for you.
