What's the situation with Mkhitaryan? Seems he's been frozen out and is well and truly out of choice with Mourinho. Can you see him leaving and potentially being replaced in January?

Why not replace him Barkley? Or Ozil.

Eric I think Jose wanted Barkley when he was at Chelsea? I could be wrong, but that’s a good shout by you. Not sure he’s good enough but there is a very talented player in there.

{Ed002's Note - In answer to the original question, Mkhitaryan is available and Mino has put feelers out to three potential suiters but whether or not he discussed him with any clubs on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday when they were together I don't know as his focus is on another player right now. But he is available and we will have to see.}

Hi Ed002 - is the other player Raiola is focused on Donnarumma at Milan? Saw something somewhere that he was looking into whether or not the contract signed in the Summer was forced into. Is there interest in Mikhitarian from any of the sides in Europe and would a January sale have any impact on the club looking to sign Sergej Milinković-Savic in January? Thanks for all the good information.

{Ed002's Note - (a) Unimportant. (b) See above. (c) I have no idea what your point is - why are you complicating matters?}

Okay thanks Ed002. With the last one just wondered if the club looking to sign Milinković-Savic was dependent on players outgoing either by raising funds or to make room in the squad. Thanks for replying.

{Ed002's Note - I would try to avoid complicating anything with such things as x replaces y or when anything might happen.}

Rightly so, he's been very poor since the start of the season.

There have been rumours of swap deal involving Mikhitaryan and Joao Mario.

How many swap deals have you heard of outside of suggestions on this site (Ronnie) and football "rumours" pages of papers? Unlikely.

I don't say will happen, its just sharing rumours.

Or this could be one among the few swap deals to happen.

Deals including players is not that uncommon, and many great players have been Included in such deals. Cannavaro, Bonucci, Deco, Torres, Etoo, Zlatan, Milito, Thiago Silva, Cole, Gallas amongst others. for some of the transfers the deals are done seperatly, like the Torres-Cerci transfer. But then you have deals like Zlatan-Etoo, Cassano-Pazzini wich are more of a swap deal. I think Bonucci also was swapped for 2 other players some years ago. Its not common in England though.
