Mkhitaryan

Ayre !

 

You shifty little porker...

 

[Barrington Womble]

Been praised up to this point for their quick work with transfer dealings but seemingly everyone and his dog knew that HM and Papadopolous were supposedly the club's marquee signings' date=' and both have now gone up in smoke. The Papadopolous one I can understand if they're asking crazy money for someone who's been injured for half a season, but it seems the HM deal has fell through over the sake of 3 or 4million.

 

This is where it's going to get interesting now. The club has recouped good money for Carroll and Shelvey high has probably offset the majority of our dealings so far. A Barcelona B player, a lad for a club who where nearly relegated, ad a goalkeeper who'll probably replace Reina, who many believe doesn't need replacing, and on less wages at that. These deals could be good as part of wider squad strengthening but now is where we see the ambition that FSG have for us this summer. I'm not for one second criticising them at this point, it's still very early days. But the next couple of months will be telling one way or another.[/quote']

 

The worry is it has the feel of last summer. Time to get their finger out. My worry is its seemed all summer we had our targets and there seems little interest beyond them. Usually you get the feeling if a first choice falls through we have options. Now that always worries me as we're accepting 2nd best, but it really feels to me there's nobody else we're after - if we go into next season with our current squad, we'll struggle again. And we might lose reina and Suarez yet.

Or it could be that the player chose to play for Dortmund and didn't want to go anywhere else. What we know for certain is that he refused to go back to training with Shakthar. That's all we know.

I'd be a bit more confident this time around with the new scouts we have in place. It sounds like these one are actually good at their job. I'd be very surprised if we didn't have more options lined up.

We'll just have to wait and see i guess.

Scouting players is only one part of the process.

 

You need a savvy MD and owners willing to part with the money to sign these top players.

 

Apparently, Shaktar wanted the 23 million up front. Dortmund obliged whereas we offered 3 lump sums.

[MLB]

We could probably get Wanyama and Ilicic for the money we were going to spend on Mkhitaryan. I suppose that's one way to look on the positive side of this.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Doomed to failure from the fucking start with these two so-called marquee signings. Fuck the cunts, both of the hairy fucking bastards, all of them.

 

Fuck them.

Billionaire hedge funders outdone by supporter owned club :)

All of which means squat when the player decided playing in the CL rather than the Europa League or in our case, not in Europe at all this coming season, was of a bigger interest to him.

 

Having a savvy MD or not, wouldnt have changed a thing. People need to wise up. As big as we think we are, most players will sign for a club in the CL rather than ones which are not.

Link?

 

All the reports from Ukraine suggested he wanted a move to us.

 

He was already playing for a CL club.

[Special K]

Unheard of player decides to choose better team out of 2 offered to him. Nothing to see here

 

Move along

Unheard of player the club was obviously bigging up via the press. Has our transfer activity ever been so public?

Haha.

[polymerpunkah]

If he wanted to play for LFC, and if there is a clause allowing him to break his contract for 19.8 million pounds, why didn't he do that?

[The Acolyte]

The fact he sat it out and waited shows me he preferred coming to us and we wouldn't budge. Its the fact we paid 35M upfront for Carroll is why they (FSG) shat themselves when faced with the prospect of doing it again. Shit scared of thios lad being another Carroll. That tells me that even with this transfer by committee approach they still don't trust either the system, the manager, or both.

If its really a case of they were expecting a bid for Suarez then FSG have showed themselves as proper small time and need to fuck off.

[ZonkoVille77]

Well glad that's over. Next.

I meant no one had heard of Mkhitaryan until this story broke

[Koptimus Prime]

Dortmund get the deal done in 3days after we spend 3 weeks acting like mingebags.

[Garrincha]

 

Oh for fucks sake Ian.

[Anubis]

No one? Are you sure? Not even his mum?

[Sandford]

We tried our best - honest, now have Tom Ince!!

 

Sceptic in me says smokescreen to draw our attention from our bargain basement signings.

[PaulMcC]

Maybe we didn't wanna give anyone 19.8m in one lump sum.

[Russ Atmosphere]

We've gone from nobody being sure how negotiations were going to everyone knowing exactly what has gone on.

[Major Tom]

Predictably the folk who have a gripe against FSG/Rosgers/Ian Ayre/Old Mother Hubbard/Israel will be using this as a stick to beat them with without having any idea what actually went on.

[A Red]

I never wanted him in the first place so i'm happy
