Spike 12,049 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thread about a Japanese player gets diverted into a discussion of Japanese comics Comics is manga. Anime is movie/tv shows/etcBut yes, Shinji Kagawa would be a fantastic signing. Though I can't see why he would want to leave Borussia Dortmund.

They can actually have money to spend on philanthropic causes, or if you're feeling cynical, they can buy themselves a bigger house and better car.

It's also jealousy, Kagawa looks across to see Salomon Kalou being offered 80k a week and going, "Hang on, I'm a better player than him, and if he's getting 80 then I think I'm being mugged off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I had never really seen much of this kid, but have just watched a few videos and clips of him and he looks very good.I still have a preference for us to go for Hulk and will stand by that. However if the club are wanting to change tact with the style of football played then Kagawa would be a very good addition. We have really over-relied on Mata's creativity this season and at times unfortunately, Mata has been seen to be on a completely different wavelength to his teammates through no fault of his own. This is the type of player who could easily play neat one-two's and strike up an excellent understanding with Mata in the opponents third of the pitch.I have also been impressed recently with the club's ability to get good value within the transfer market by moving for players with contracts expiring. Cahill has proven to be a shrewd signing for £7m and Marin will also hopefully prove similar good value. If Kagawa is available for less than £10m as is being reported then we should be pursuing him. the icing on the cake is his reputation as the superstar of Japan and the increased publicity and reputation we would gain throughout the Asian market. That in itself is highly lucrative and would comfortably pay his transfer fee and wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 He has a dream to play in the PL, Dortmund's coach and his agent said this I'm sure. Hes apparently off to United though, its meant to be a "done deal" for 20 odd million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Manchester United are believed to be close to finalising a move for Borussia Dortmund's Japan international playmaker Shinji Kagawa, and the 23-year-old is expected to sign a three-year deal at Old Trafford." - talkSPORT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teignman 441 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 If Dortmund let him go for £7m, they are getting hosed. I still fail to see where he fits into Manure's standard formation and plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still fail to see where he fits into Manure's standard formation and plans.He could plays in Rooney's role but the problem with that is that it is Rooney's. He can't play in the Midfield pivot as he would neglect his defensive duties too much. I guess that leaves the wings which are already packed right now.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I hope we hijack this deal, but at the same time I'm sure he would prefer to go to ManUre anyway. So many good players are out of our grasp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
