Ararat-Armenia say no — this time
The offer from USM Alger for Paul Ayongo was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Ararat-Armenia go back to the board over Rob Nizet
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.9M — a club that wants Rob Nizet enough to be asked twice.

Ararat-Armenia have gone to Urartu with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

One of our own: Henrikh Khachatryan joins the Ararat-Armenia first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Henrikh Khachatryan is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
