Thinks the caf is 'wokeish'.
Its a non-issue. If the De Silva Twins can get work permits at 16...
They have Portuguese passports too. But agree its a non issue either wayIts a non-issue. If the De Silva Twins can get work permits at 16...
Nice to finally have it confirmed that they saw Sneijder as a number 10 and not someone to play in central midfield. Of course Red Cafe had completely dismissed that possibility when we were being linked with the player last Summer (hello Sharky). Nasri was also no doubt earmarked for the number ten role. The coaching team are obviously looking for an improvement on Rooney (and Berbatov) in that position and that's where Kagawa will play.Google translation of part of an interview Rene did with the Marveld Tournament people:
Raise it to you not out there than in the Dutch youth no play at United. They conclude it is best to view with your football. What about Wesley Sneijder example?
"Now I must always be careful what I say. Call me names than the English press is above them. But Sneijder was a few years ago very concrete. Just won everything with Inter, ready for a new challenge and to us he was the missing link number ten. But he stayed. Afellay is another player. Would suit us very well. But he went to Barcelona. "
"Who we are inside have been Shinji Kagawa, from Borussia Dortmund. I got this year to five times tips to watch it. Decided eventually anyway to do. Great footballer. I am straight to Ferguson explained step and said: here you have a videotape, go look at this player. Even Ferguson was right to. This guy has everything. Great dribbling, eye for space, good running action without the ball, but also able to score a goal themselves.
Rubbish!Nice to finally have it confirmed that they saw Sneijder as a number 10 and not someone to play in central midfield.

You may well be right GCHQ but I don't see where you just got "confirmation" of that. I'd take anything Rene says with a pinch of salt, the man is a media whore.Nice to finally have it confirmed that they saw Sneijder as a number 10 and not someone to play in central midfield.

The quotes are right there...Rubbish!
So?Also if the quotes are to be believed and we are looking for a #10, that implies we are looking for a shift away from 4-4-2 to a lone striker system, probably 4-2-3-1.
In practice we've been playing 4-4-1-1 for the last 18 months so there's no telling whether Kagawa being signed will result in a huge change of emphasis or not. I'm more inclined to think not because Sir Alex likes his wide men to help their full backs defend and we do not have two dogged centre midfield players who be spoilers like City do, which lets their front 4 have no real defensive role. What Kagawa will do is add to the depth of the squad and give Sir Alex more options about how to use other players especially Rooney.Also if the quotes are to be believed and we are looking for a #10, that implies we are looking for a shift away from 4-4-2 to a lone striker system, probably 4-2-3-1.
It would probably relegate Welbeck to the bench.In practice we've been playing 4-4-1-1 for the last 18 months so there's no telling whether Kagawa being signed will result in a huge change of emphasis or not.

If Welbeck starts next season with a hat trick and is banging them in in training Sir Alex will find a way to play him. Sir Alex doesn't tend to drop players he feels can win him matches. If he thinks Welbeck has winning form in him he'll find a way to play him.It would probably relegate Welbeck to the bench.
Watching the same, but I think I'm gonna have to mute this fella, does he ever shut up?Here's a legal stream from Al-Jazeera. Decent quality as well.

I'm glad someone else thought/said itIt's hard to see which one he is
its quite impressive.but I think I'm gonna have to mute this fella, does he ever shut up?
.
He's the one who looks like Park.It's hard to see which one he is
Honda has the right idea, if you wanna stand out in this team.... bleach the barnet!He's the one who looks like Park.
that is racist.
Yep, and they will only play less games if Kagawa shows that he is better than them. If Welbeck can show that he's a better option than Kagawa, or Rooney, or even Young, Nani or Valencia in a 3 then he'll be in.Signing Kagawa may mean Welbeck and Hernandez play slightly less games
Wouldn't take anything he says seriously, he seems to be on speed.Commentator just mentioned "Maaaaaancheeeeester Uuuuuunnited"
no doubt.Wouldn't take anything he says seriously, he seems to be on speed.
You're not the only one and I am Asian.I'm glad someone else thought/said it
I've watched a few Dortmund games and he's got talent but if he's not good enough for Japan (<75% games) Y is he for Utd?
This is the nonsense I have had tweeted to meHe's very right sided and with Valencia we have a great right winger, thats not where we need to strengthen is it?
