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!

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 14ポイント15ポイント  (9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 5ポイント6ポイント  (4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 11ポイント12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 3ポイント4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.

[–]danskzwag 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think he should be given a chance on the right and rotated on the left I dont expect Ibra to start a lot of games

[–]FizzypoptartsRooney 6ポイント7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

We don't really boo individual players though. Big Fella got boo'd early last year then went to score us a game winner and wasn't really boo'd again.

[–]FinnaldinhoSaha 14ポイント15ポイント  (10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.

    Sad how some players value making money more over their life goals.

    Unreal.

    [–]FeezbullGiggs 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

    They're fucking stupid and delusional. Like they offer their players peanuts?

    It's just that they've been bottlers and irrelevant in the league title race for over a decade. They make CL yearly indeed but are fuck all challengers and are nowhere close to challenging for it nor will they be. But they keep thinking they're that good. They aren't. They're the most mediocre of top clubs around that hasn't really improved over a decade and even signing world class players like özil and Sanchez still doesn't help them enough.

    I'm very sure wenger has hit his ceiling with the team no matter who else joins.

    But it's great to have some extra salt for anyone wanting a salted caramel ice cream.

    Do you have some? I mean, it is my favorite.

    My ex-wife was an Arsenal supporter - and ~10 years ago they still played some very attractive football - easy on the eyes. These days? They're a parody of their former selves.

    Which, you know, good for us, I suppose - but at the same time, I do miss it when they were relevant. Then again, I miss it when we were relevant... With JM though, surely we're tacked on to ascend, right?

    [–]HuzaifaElahiTony Henry 7ポイント8ポイント  (5子コメント)

    [–]monsterm1dget 1ポイント2ポイント  (4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 11ポイント12ポイント  (3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  (1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.

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

    Mkhitaryan has played under two different systems now already too so yeah... And Mourinho wouldn't have wanted him if he didn't think he'd be able to get the best out of him here. It's not LvG where there's one strict style and flair players suffer a bit or so.

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

    Hi, Dortmund fan here. Mkhi's first season with us was hideous. Made Falcaos season with you all look stellar. He only started to even look promising the second half of his second season when we were doing our Phoenix thing and rising from the dead.

    [–]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.

    [–]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

    [–]TanqPhil 2ポイント3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).

    [–]weirdlytwistedJosé Mourinho 4ポイント5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)

    He had a really good season. He's the ideal attacker, who we know is available, for what we need on the right.

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

    I'm really puzzled where we are going to use him? He is a right winger, but usually pulls in central as a CAM. I see our lineup next year like this: http://lineupbuilder.com/2014/custom/?sk=bx268

    I think that Mou will use Rooney in a deeper role, as on the national squad or as a number 10.

    Henrikh will be used on the right or centrally. Mou has turned wingers to CAM's before (Willian), and i think that he would prefer his playmaking skills there than on the right flank where he usually goes someone with more pace and dribbling. I therefore see him using Rashford on the right when Ibra is playing or as substitute to Ibra for the cup-games.

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

    Ibra doesn't play well with a 10, he prefers to drop deep and collect the ball. I think we might see a 4-3-3 a la PSG

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

    He reminds me a bit Hazard. Not just by the looks, but also the style of play. They can both pass, take on players, make intelligent runs etc.

    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

    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.

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