Mkhitarian is a real talking point: his agent says he's unfit; Mourinho agrees but insists there's nothing physically wrong with him, suggesting he's mentally unfit. Who knows? I do think Jose's lost it, though. He used to be able to rely on results as justification for his toxic personality and negative style of football but Man U are all over the place. Some of his recent statements make me think he's angling for the sack.
On the £1bn player thing, Real are now paying Bale £600,000 a week and his buy out clause is set at £900,000,000, so it can't be far off. If Messi was 5 years younger I'd say he'd be the 1st but it'll probably be someone who's yet to really emerge.
