Transfer Tsunami - January Transfer Possibilities

Sorry for the absent as of late.  My responsibilities as student, however inconvenient, has consumed most of my  free time.

One of my new favorite players...


Henrikh Mkhitaryan - FC Shakhtar Donetsk  - Age 23 - Attacking Midfielder 


You say Henrikh, I say Mkhitaryan

Mkhitaryan is a rising star.  Making his breakthrough into the starting 11 of Shakhtar in 2010 after his 7.5 million pound move from Metalurh Donetsk.  Last year he tallied 11 goals in 36 matches.  However, this year has been his time to shine.  Scoring a brace in week one of the Champions League Group Stage, he was also named to the Champions League Team of the Week.  With the season at its midway point he has already recorded 20 goals in 26 games.  Henrikh is posed for a move onto the big stage.  His mix of pace, vision and passing in enough to hold his own on teamsheets in every top league in Europe.  My biggest draw to him is his ability to score in many ways.  He constantly finds the back of the net no matter how.  His versatilely can be another plus side, seeing as he can play as an outside midfielder or inside as a creator.  To pass on signing him would be an extremely large mistake.  I value him at between 12-15 million pounds, although this is nothing compared to what he potential worth will skyrocket to.  I have not been this sold on a player since watching Thomas Mueller explode into the spotlight during the 2010 World Cup.  

Possible Transfer Moves - FC Bayern Munich, Juventus    

My Prediction - I would love to see Mkhitaryan move to Juventus.  The possible pairing along side Sebastion Giovinco in the attack role of the midfield could be a deadly combination.  Especially with midfield anchors Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal providing the defensive roles, Juventus could validate themselves once again as the top side in the Serie A.

Here is the link to a downloadable list of all the EPL Transfer so far The 2015 Barclays Premier League summer transfer window is in full swing. With the September 1st deadline slowly moving closer, here are some of the best signings so far... Gerard Deulofeu - Winger - 21 years old     Transfer:   FC Barcelona   ->  Everton  Transfer Fee : 4.2 Million Euros  Deulofeu has blinding pace.  His return to Merseyside will be much welcomed after being loaned to the club in 2013-14.  During his first stay he appeared 25 times, tallying 3 goals.  Sidelined due to injury the flashes of brilliance he displayed when healthy was enough for boss Roberto Martinez to complete this permit transfer without hesitation. In my opinion this may end up being the steal of the transfer window.  If he can stay healthy, the combination of his and Kevin Mirallas speed could easily translate into explosive seasons for the pair.  The luxury...

Onward To Villa Park - Manchester United vs. Aston Villa Preview

Tottenham…In Short Manchester United topped Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford, kicking off the season with a 1-0 victory.   The lone goal came courtesy of Tottenham as Kyle Walker was "credited" with the bizarre own goal.   United got the result, regardless of how, which is the most important take away. New arrivals Matteo Darmain, Memphis Depay, Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastion Schweinsteiger and Sergio Romero all saw action as the high profile signs looked like solid additions. Romero stole the show, making crucial stops in the later stages of the match.   Schneiderlin played well aside Michael Carrick, with the pair combining for a pass completion average of 91.55%.   Memphis and Darmain also had strong performances for United, completing 86.2% and 86.1% respectively in their first starts for United.   In a match that did not see Marouane Fellaini (suspended), Marcos Rojo (rest?) David de Gea and Victor Valdes not suite up…signs moving forward s...
