Not a bad result for Shirak but dam 4 weeks-it didn't look like much of an injury at all-he was running on it and stuff..

Well, Shirak allowed Partizan to score and it ended 1-1, which still isn't bad. Partizan will win in Belgrade, though.

And Henrikh Mkhitaryan is injured and probably out for 4 weeks.

Re: Armenian Soccer

Yeh but in BM he may have to fight for starting spot so i think this is a better fit for him. People do not spend this kind of money on benchwarmers so Heno will develope well here i think.

Re: Armenian Soccer

Just saw that he did go for the 25 million according to this German article. Though I wish if he were going to play for a German team that he would have gone to FC Bayern Munich

Shakhtar chief gives Liverpool glimmer of Mkhitaryan hope

ESPN staff
July 6, 2013

Shakhtar Donetsk chief executive Sergei Palkin has denied reports that
Borussia Dortmund have agreed a deal to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan,
although he said a deal may be close.

It had been claimed that Mkhitaryan had agreed a 25 million move to
Dortmund, with Liverpool thought to have given up hope of landing the
Armenia international.

However, Palkin had said in recent days that Shakhtar would not accept
anything less than 30 million, and it appears that, while talks are
ongoing, their stance has not changed.

Asked about Mkhitaryan, football.ua quoted Palkin as saying: "I have
not talked to him. Borussia have offered us 25 million - to us, this
is not enough, but we are talking to the German club. There is a real
possibility that we will come to an agreement in the near future."

Palkin said he was unsure whether the 24-year-old had already agreed
terms with the Champions League finalists.

"Such questions should be directed to the player and his
representatives," he said.

Re: Armenian Soccer

So long as he is a starter i like this move. He will play against Byrum Munich which is an awsome team and he will compete in the CL against the best of the best. Good luck to Heno, hope he will stay injury free and develop into a star for our NT as well.

Re: Armenian Soccer

Bah. I wanted Premier League.

lol same here, but not a bad second option
important thing is, its a breakthrough for armenian players and a precedent for others to follow to put armenian soccer in the spotlight, and also, he managed to get past the 3rd party ownership issue and did not have his career damaged by the pos oligarchs
