Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Out)

[GOONER1991]

Rumours going around that Borussia Dortmund are interested in bringing Mkhitaryan back. Seems to be coming from his agent Raiola.

Even if it's not true - his agent trying to drum up interest can only be a positive.

Had some good moments in an Arsenal shirt where he has threatened good form, but in general he's been a bag of **** and he needs to be moved on this summer.

We'll be extremely lucky dortmund get him back they got gotze and kagwa back and they were worse than mkhi in that period. Maybe we'll be lucky

 

[Red London]

Even though I am of Armenian descent...

Sell Sell Sell

He clearly doesn't suit English football at all (the fact he has played better in the Europa League than in the Premier League for both Arsenal and United says it all)

He should move back to Germany or even Italy. I share the same opinion of Özil to an extent.

 

[DanDare]

Any fee and his wages away is a bonus. He's not the future. He's not even the present.

You can see in a worse league how he would be useful.

You'd accept a lowish fee to get rid

This could be a problem.

This could be a problem.

I heard they'll still allow intermediaries though because they aren't allowed to restrict a player's ability to move. Or something along these lines.

Basically it's a meaningless ban

The time has arrived to sell him (although I'd keep him as a number 10). I definitely think it was better to get Mkhi than lose Sanchez for a low fee. Been very patch and we should fetch north of 20m for his sale.

 

[TheEconomist]

I don't think we'd get a fee for him personally. I think we'd be lucky to just have someone willing to take him off our books for free

This could be a problem.

 

[grange]

Of ****ing course, agents are so slimy.

 

[morpho]

Question is, how much money do we have to off load for someone to take him?

 

[BenTal]

That would be awesome!

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hard to trust this c**t Neil but hope his right.

 

[Stannis]

Hard to trust this c**t Neil but hope his right.

He can also go **** himself

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Music to my ears! Dreadful player!

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

I would say he has been on par with say, Özil, in terms of performances since he arrived. But that is not enough, i would sell them both.

individual flashes this season have been better than Özil, but not overall impact over the season or individual games.

That's his problem. He is wildly inconsistent over games/season.

That would be awesome!

If The Sun said "Good Morning" to me I'd have to open the curtains to see if the sun was up before I'd respond. They might as well be one of those narcissistic Twitter guys making up transfer rumors and acting as though they have inside information.

That said, while I'm not one who is anxious to see Mkhitaryan go (he's actually been a productive player, even if a bit inconsistent, partially due to injuries). At £144,000 a week, his wages aren't really out of line, but he is entering the last two years of his contract (when Arsenal have said they will start looking to move players on) and they certainly aren't going to exercise the extension option to keep him beyond the current deal. CIES values him at €15-20 million, which isn't a big fee, but if they could get that it would add to the transfer kitty and free up some of the higher wages. Might be time. Just depends on Emery and Micki.

Mkhy and Özil are too similar intensity wise. I'd be dissapointed if at least one of them didnt leave. They go missing for large portions of the game way too often. When they play together in an away game its just terrible, absolutely terrible.
