It was Liverpools scouts who observed and reported that Mkhitaryan played a more balanced and slightly deeper role in the CL rather than in the hole as an out and out 10.

Forgive my bluntness but I am going to take their word on it rather than anyone on this, or other, forums since they have been watching for around 2 years now.

Shaktar are doing what Shaktar do trying to squeeze every penny out by leaking stuff about clubs etc but Mkhitaryan's stance is no other club than LFC which us causing Shaktar and their Manager considerable consternation.

He is still in Armenia as the deal between us and his 3 owners continue to drag out. Very boring this now. Liverpool have the cash to get him but they won't pay what they believe is over his value (more than 25m).

Aah just finished this post and seen ESPN is now reporting similar details on Twitter.

Sure ;)

And based on your signings in the past few years, I think it's fair to say that Liverpool's scouts are the best of the best! ;)

Yet another gem unearthed by Liverpool's scouts, to go with such exotic obscurities as "Clint Dempsey" , "Coutinho" and "Daniel Sturridge". I wish our club possessed the resources to discover and accurately rate these unknown talents.

Damn, Liverpool really must be in dire straights hiring blind scouts.

"Idol's successor Mkhitaryan: BVB Donetsk agree

The change from Henrikh Mkhitaryan (24, Shakhtar Donetsk) to Borussia Dortmund is backed by kicker information immediately before completion. BVB CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke and sporting director Michael Zorc achieved today, Friday, during a visit to Donetsk agreement with the Ukrainian champions.

The attacking midfielder was from the beginning as a candidate of choice of coach Jürgen Klopp for the succession of Mario Götze, who moved to Bayern. The transfer fee for Mkhitaryan will be around 25 million euros.

A confirmation of the German vice champion is still out: Apparently need to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (24) nor final contractual details are discussed as last.

Mkhitaryan, who previously ran aground 37 times for the Armenian national team, scoring in the preseason in the Ukrainian league 25 goals in 29 games. In the Champions League he was used eight times (two goals), and in the two knockout matches against BVB (2:2, 0:3) when he notes the kicker-3 and 2.5 earned. When he plays Shakhtar since 2010.

Mkhitaryan is in Dortmund after Sokratis (Werder Bremen) and Aubameyang (St. Etienne), the third notable signing of the summer."

Yeah, Dortmund are still going to be awesome to watch.

I was thinking Eriksen, but they just got a player who is much, much better in Mkhitaryan.

RAWK going on about how he is going for bigger wage etc etc. LFC will still get a good player in no doubt so we shouldn't make fun of them too much.

Yeah, it's just such a darn shame that they let go of Jonjo Shelvey prematurely... :rolleyes:

What fucking idiots. Yes, the wages meant everything. He's going to a side that is on the up-and-up as opposed to a club that is trying to decide if 5th place should be an accomplishment but sitting around 6-7th is the new normalcy.
