Henrikh Mkhitaryan Megathread (self.reddevils)

Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea[M] が 投稿

Widely reported that we will soon be signing the Armenian RW for a fee of £26.3m.

Until there is Tier 0/1 news e.g Norwood/Di Marzio/Official announcement about the transfer, discussion should take place here.

Warning Any major tweets you read today may contain Game of Thrones spoilers, so don't read any twitter or Instagram replies. This advice also applies to every other day of your life anyway.

So, what do we think of this signing? How long has it been since we've had an out and out Right Winger? What kind of team is José building? Discuss!

In related news:

Southampton are selling fellow mid-table team Liverpool Sadio Mane for £30m.

Nigel Farage is a lying c*nt

It's funny because pool fans were posting all over Facebook laughing when we were linked saying "Wanted Pedro getting some Southampton nobody" Cant wait for the he's a superstar posts.

[–]Rolling_TomassiShaw 8ポイント9ポイント  (3子コメント)

Facebook fans of any club tend to be absolutely toxic. Reading arguments from so called 'fans' of United and Liverpool are just embarrassing.

Personal friends I should have said, none of that random fanboy fights on pages like "PREMIER LEAGUE BANTER PAGE!!!!!!"

not that Twitter fans are any better,some of the stuff i read there makes me want to deactivate all the time.

Already posted, check their sub. Alas, he won't be called world class until another week passes.

I wouldn't set foot in that cesspool of a sub to save my life!

You are missing out on one of the great joys of life...their pain and delusion brightens the day after a draw at home to Norwich. You follow rawk_meltdown on Twitter, though, right? I am sure it is in the contract when you signed up to be a United fan.

Right Winger

[–]FizzypoptartsRooney 9ポイント10ポイント  (11子コメント)

He's a huge mentality/confidence player. So i do hope we get behind him and he's not booed if he has a few bad/mediocre performances. If we can get him to tick he's a player of the season type of player otherwise he could disappear

[–]TrollNaSeanWhite Pelé 8ポイント9ポイント  (4子コメント)

Similar to Memphis in terms of a confidence type player. On a like topic, I really hope Memphis is given more opportunities to prove his worth.

Yes, we have Martial and potentially Mkhitariyan, but I'm still very behind Memphis. A shame there are some who will disagree with me, but everybody has their own opinion.

With that said I'm hoping for the best from all our players and that they all get the proper support from each other as well as us fans. I'm not saying that this season will be our season, but it has the potential to be one hell of a season.

[–]HuzaifaElahiTony Henry 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

Ibra/Rash up front, Mkhitaryan on the right (Memphis doesn't play on the right), Martial is a lock for the left - I genuinely find it hard to see a crack for Memphis to open.

[–]TanqPhil 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

We will play around 60 games if we take all competitions seriously. Depay will get 15-20 starts.

[–]TrollNaSeanWhite Pelé 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Which is not something I'm going to whole heartedly complain about. If anything I'd love to see Memphis being featured in some cup games and potentially some Euros as a way to allow Tony to rest.

Nonetheless as you said it seems very unlikely to happen, but a boy can dream.

[–]legojs 3ポイント4ポイント  (4子コメント)

how do you know if he has huge confidence/ huge mentality? Just curious

[–]FizzypoptartsRooney 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

He cannot handle pressure very well. Once this season he refused to take a penalty for dortmund during a shootout. If there is pressure on him and the fans are not behind him he crumbles. He stays away from taking responsibility

[–]legojs 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

oH i understood it wrong i thought u said that he has a strong mentality. Haha my b

[–]vulgargooseThe Devil Is Red 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

It was the reply from BvB fans on their subreddit when someone asked what sort of player he is.

[–]FizzypoptartsRooney 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was the one who asked the question :p

[–]CveinMemphis & Martial 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Prior to this season I would not think our fans would ever boo a player. I really hope that trend died with LvG and the style that was played.

[–]YoungJumpWazza 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Flight trackin him when?

[–]deepit6431Martial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Is that before or after we see his blood test reports?

[–]Mayo4SamHard to believe its not Scholes 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Great price, I know he only has/had 1 year left but still an absolute steal in a market where Mane is 30 million. Hope he can maintain last year form.

[–]Fredix20 times 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

How much did it end up with?

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

The price is rumoured to be £26.1m. But if any of our other recent deals are anything to go by, there's bound to be a bonus or two on top.

[–]omegaxLoLAnder Herrera 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oooooh shit, it's megathread time!

Anyway, repeating what I've said in the latest Mkhitaryan related threads, I simply couldn't be happier. Unbelievable upgrade on our options for the right wing and not only that, a great player and really versatile. Alongside Ibra joining and Mourinho managing us, these are some really exciting times as a United fan.

Too late for me :'( Should've known better and stayed off twitter.

[–]HuzaifaElahiTony Henry 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

Still have my concerns about this transfer, but we won't find a better option on the table this summer and the money is absolutely reasonable so I'm pleased.

[–]monsterm1dget 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Same. It worries me he's been with Dortmund for a few seasons but only this season he shone and people were all over him now. He's probably one of the best available RW around but the pressure might be really hard on him.

[–]TanqPhil 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

He had a good first season, followed by the Dortmund collapse season when Klopp was leaving and everyone was terrible, followed by the Thor-clone season in '16. Oh, and he was massive at Shaktar before all that.

He will do great.

[–]manny8361Valencia 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

My only concern is the style difference in Dortmund and Us which hurt Kagawa a whole lot. Miki is more about individual skill however whereas Kagawa was all teamwork and cohesion.

[–]TrollNaSeanWhite Pelé 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

At this point I'm hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.

[–]bfyred 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I like that he can also play on the left which would be handy if Martial ever moves centrally in games.

[–]BetweenTheCheeksAnderson 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Is memphis becomes third choice for his favoured position then his United career is finished

[–]Dave-iProspectKanchelskis 1ポイント2ポイント  (9子コメント)

Feeling we need an Ibra or someone similar who can head the ball. We've tried to play down the wings in the recent past and it's simply not worked as we've got nobody to take control of a cross. We need that player or M&M will ultimately prove innefective

[–]weirdlytwistedJosé Mourinho 5ポイント6ポイント  (7子コメント)

You'd be surprised to know, Ibra does not head the ball that often. He is much more comfy with the ball at his feet. He's quite the poor header of the ball.

[–]HuzaifaElahiTony Henry 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

This, people see height and assume automatically that he's going to be a menace in the air, He's quite average in the air.

[–]HuhiBoostedAnimal 13ポイント14ポイント  (1子コメント)

He's God in the air. With his feet.

[–]monsterm1dget 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I remember this image comparing Cristiano Ronaldo heading a ball and Ibrahimovic kicking the ball at the same height.

[–]omegaxLoLAnder Herrera 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Even Ibra himself has said in the past that his biggest weakness as a player is exactly heading the ball.

[–]TanqPhil 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Of course, sometimes his feet are higher than the CB's head, when he does one of his kung fu finishes....

[–]iamadudesSchneiderlin -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Exactly.Absolutely hate it when he wins every fucking header in fifa

[–]weirdlytwistedJosé Mourinho 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fifa gave Bale a 66 Jump. They know nothing.

[–]TanqPhil 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

That is the point of inverted wingers. Crosses are very, very low percentage, so instead use wingers cutting inside to carry the ball to positions that are difficult to pass into. The key is having players with good skill in interior/linkup play inside the box so shots are high quality (something LVG actually taught well).

[–]FinnaldinhoSaha 0ポイント1ポイント  (6子コメント)

van Gaal was right about one thing, and that was that we need a fast creator in the line behind the striker. Mkhi is nippy and agile, his vision is insane and his speed of thought is great too. He doesn't hesitate or slow down attacks which we've really lacked given Lingard and Mata have started all season. So we really can't be unhappy with this signing in any way, shape, or form.

I think also his ability to find forwards in behind is huge, finally, Toto will have someone capable of spotting his runs and Mou's system will also allow Toto more space to make these runs. Usually hate fawning over potentially attacking combinations, because in truth they usually flop (Rooney, RvP, Januzaj, Mata or Falcao, RvP, AdM, Rooney for example), but Martial-Ibra-Mkhi has a genuinely great blend of qualities that should hopefully intertwine well for once. I think the James deal isn't happening, but if we do somehow snag Pogba we could run City and Guardiola close.

Great start to the window and let's hope on Pogba and Ounas.

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 0ポイント1ポイント  (5子コメント)

Is 'Toto' what he goes by?

That's far easier than Mikkhitargaryen or whatever the misspell of the day is.

[–]AdamDalby 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

The best one I've heard so far is imagining a guy call Mick being angry at Giggs. Can't remember who said it, but credit to ya!!

We should borrow Daenerys a dragon to make him happy.

Pronounced Antony in French

Ah I see, so Martial then yeah.

It's Monday and my brain hasn't quite woken up yet.

[–]mufcglory 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

If we sign him is there potential to have a triple M front line (if Ibra and Rashford aren't playing)

Memphis - Martial - Mkhitaryan

Our own version of MSN hopefully!

We could always use Rashford's first name... Then we'll still have 3Ms if he comes on

I love how Game of Thrones has become such a big part of our lives that we need to be reminded of it everywhere we go.

I was watching a stream on twitch and read a spoiler in the chat. I became very sad and watched the episode. Turned out it was not a spoiler anyway!

However, Mickey-tar(gar)ian hype!

[–]KillerKipperBad Man Marouane 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I may have to call him Micky targarian from now on

Mkhitaryan uses his left/right foot at will, both are equally good... that's really an asset for a CAM/RW

[–]hennnyMemphis 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ha, jokes on you! I don't watch Game of Thrones!

(Real talk, am I the only person who just doesn't get it? I've tried 5-6 episodes and I couldn't stick with it. Feel like this is some cruel joke I'm not a part of..)

[–]mushtaqay 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

(Spoiler alert) I've heard woody struck a new deal and Rooney has made a guest appearance in the last episode of game of throne! He's the new king o' the north!

[–]legojs 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

what position has he played the most last season / and what is his best position? I know he plays either CAM or RW but it seems like he does better at CAM. I hope he adjusts to the EPL quickly. its gonna be tough with the physicality here

[–]spoofexKing Cantona 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

He was a winger last season. Layaway played behind Aubamayang with Reus on the left.

[–]Rolling_TomassiShaw 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Majority of last season was RW, then LW then CAM.

He played brilliantly on the RW (8 goals, 9 assists from 19 games) and I imagine Mourinho got him to play there.

    Potential to be the best in the league for sure but Ibra as good as he is can still be a flop(age,first time in pl) and Miki could suffer from the same things that Kagawa did.
