Did this get wrapped up while I wasn't looking???

[Jayrannasaurus]

Not yet, no. Apparently just needs to have a medical and obtain a work permit.

We're just tryng to:

a) Be Positive
b) Use the Kagawa thread to celebrate signing Shinja Kagawa! (I know his name is Shinji, then the Shinja-Ninja thing doesn't work.)

Apparently flying to Manchester for a medical Friday. (I know it's goal.com but fuck it, I'm happy:))

Also, the fact that Meulensteen said:
"He has got the complete package of what you could want from attacking midfielder." gives me the impression he wont be shifted wide, good news.

he won't be, but i await the hysteria on here when he's played wide of a central 3. we all need to accept that it's gonna happen at times.

there's a difference between playing out on the wing and being in a central 3

[Jayrannasaurus]

I'm aware of that, I really just don't want to see him on the flanks centrally on a regular basis - would be a waste.

[jimbonda]

it depends.

if you see him line up in a 3 man center mid on the left you're still likely to see him play as centrally as he would in a 2 man, as one of the 3 sits back

[Bestie]

Kagawa plays best in the center, behind a striker or another advanced midfielder. To put out wide when we already have good wingers, well the thought of it makes me want to burst into Terry's. Literally.

advanced midfielder / number 10 rooney?

i hope this is the case. i don't see rooney leading the line with kagawa behind him. i see welbeck or hernandez leading the line, rooney in the hole, and kagawa the attacking mid behind and linking with rooney.

[Jayrannasaurus]

That'd be good to watch jim, Kagawa, next to Carrick with Rooney in the hole and Welbeck/Hernandez up front.

The problem for me is that Kagawa can barely tackle and he weighs something like 67kgs. Carrick will be overrun as was the case this season, don't you think?

Not to go off topic again , but was out for sometime , just popped in to say that i was wrong on Tony V and Tackles , its only in the CL finals he had lost his cool , don't know why though i had him down as a a rash tackler -- still My apologies.

Back on topic i hope that Kagawa can link up well with Rooney , Chico ,Welbs and Young and of course Tony V and Nani( Yes i do want him and still rate both of them highly)
And to all Tony V Fans
