Henrikh Mkhitaryan

reportedly we want to pay 19m ish and he's gone for 21m . I dont think thats the reason why we havent signed him yet.

Reportedly where?

[el matador]

I doubt that the reason we missed out on him is money. IMO he picked Dortmund and turned us down.

The official version from us will of course be that we never made a bid.

Strange that john thompson from the echo comes out yesterday and says that this player is our no.1 target for this season and he's the marquee signing we're looking to bring in.

He even said we were prepared to pay a bit more than 20m for him.

Jeez, YOU and YOUR opinion. You like the rest of have no idea

Aha! A media source that is reliable. I was sure that no such thing existed this morning.

I didn't said that Kicker is reliable. I said that they are one of the best media sources out there

That is your opinion IMO.

To be honest, given a choice between a team thats been out of the Champions League for the past few seasons, or last seasons beaten finalists who have incidentally just sold somebody who plays in the same position, its not exactly a difficulty choice to make is it?

What's the difference?

Kicker is less **** than the others.

[Assassin]

That is your opinion IMO.

Where it differs you believe your opinion is always the correct one, regardless of how ludicrous your guesstimates are.

You're from Sweden, no?

There is a reason why Swedish people are the brunt of jokes in Norway

We had long enough to get this Deal done,fair play to dortmund if they can get it done quickly and easily.

Shakhtar probably made it easier for them because our negotiations dragged on so long and unsettled the player.

I don't believe that we can attract the top class players. If we had missed out on the CL the last two seasons then we would probably be able to do it but this season will be the fourth straight season we miss out.

That is a massive problem.

Quite a set of assumptions you've made there.

they wanted 30m euros from us and yet have apparently agreed a 25m euro deal with dortmund.
