Any truth in the Mkhitaryan rumours? Would be a good addition if he can play on the right.
{Ed001's Note - yes.}

Ed 001 do you know what stage talks are at?
{Ed001's Note - stage? What does that even mean? I am not sure how to answer that mate. It doesn't really go in steps that you can follow. Sometimes clubs will let clubs discuss terms with players in advance of any kind of fees being talked over. Other clubs will not the buyer go anywhere near the players until everything is agreed. The lad is available for sale, Arsenal want to buy him, they have been quoted a price. Up to them to sort the deal now before someone else does. Dortmund would have liked to keep him, but he made excessive demands, so they are looking to sell. The question is whether Arsenal would be willing to meet his demands, rather than any talks between the clubs being an issue.}

To gibe Peter some benefit of doubt, let's pretend that his question actually is:
"In this instance, where the club are still trying to negotiate a contract, are they actually listening to bids, or turning them away until later in the summer? "
Beyond that as you say, its impossible to know wht is getting done at what stage.
Agents have a lot of battles to fight in order to get a deal done, and so they take any win they can get (at any time) .

I have to be honest, the more I read the various articles on this, the more it feels like the media needed to link us to someone, as they were running out of "Breaking New: Vardy Thinks" articles.

With juventus closing in on miralem pjanic I think they will not be pursuing mikhitrayan, so I guess its between chelsea and us, I guess playtime will be an issue at chelsea with willian, hazard, and cesc and matic in midfield, whereas we can give him the right wing position. But I would assume it to be us vs chelsea, I guess if we lose out we may inquire about mahrez.
