Wrong Dortmund player to get.

lorddulaarsenal

I like him a lot. Can be hit or miss but he has so much energy about his game

Rex

Annoying player.

QuincyAbeyie

That sums him up well.

Gazza M

Good player, but so wasteful. Not what we need

jones

I'd rather revitalise Reus' career as his ceiling is higher but Mkhitaryan would easily start for us too. There's very little not to like about his game, great technique and vision, not as elegant as Özil maybe but has a rocket of a shot on either foot. Might get Bundesliga player of the season, ahead of any Bayernschwein, at this rate.

That said there's little chance of him coming here I think. Mkhitaryan himself hinted at Italy in the past plus his agent is Mino Raiola.

Ricky1985

He's not for me. Talented, for sure, but I find him annoying to watch too.

Segway

Yeeeees please.

mdgoonah41

good player, but we need a world class striker, not another AM

ElGeniodeOviedo

He's pretty good, but we could do better for the likely price. Also agree that if we're getting a Dortmund player, he wouldn't be in my top 3

jones

Price shouldn't be too high, he has just one more year on his contract

Gazza M

if we're losing rosicky, arteta, and flamini, we will need a few more bodies in that general area. wilshere can't be relied on, santi is a fill in cm/am at best.

didn't realise he scored 20 goals this season. don't know if he could transplant that form to us, as dortmund are set up like a well-oiled machine

if we're going after utility attacking mids that are running their contracts down, goetze would be the one to get i think.

MistaT

He's a smart player who has good off ball movement and can link up well. Could see him playing on a winger here but I'm not so sure I'd want to see him and Sanchez starting as both like the ball a little too much.

Clrnc

Instead of Gundogan, Reus, Hummels, Weigl and PEA we are after him? Sums us up really.

The article says he is "clinical". 😆 Obviously haven't watched him enough. He is a good player who will be useful on our wings but unless we are really selling Ramsey can't see where he would fit in.

Gazza M

20 goals from attacking midfield shouldn't be sniffed at though

Just like when we wanted Hazard but got Gervinho..

Clrnc

Could have gotten Cabaye as well mind you...

He would be a massive upgrade on Ramsey.

In general I feel there's a tendency to underrate simple, functional but effective players on this forum. He will never pirouette himself out of trouble but he's guaranteed to create chances and score goals plus he's an extremely hard working and intelligent player who knows how to position himself to be dangerous.

Indeed. We need cogs who fit the system. Mkhitaryan could be the goalscoring midifeld-winger Wenger has wanted Ramsey to be. But as Clrnc said, its clear that we need to actually sell Ramsey if we plan to get him (and Xhaka). But as its Raiola who's his agent there's basically 0 chance of it happening, so we can all calm down.
