He's not a winger, hes a playmaker. His best position according to the interview is just off the striker in a no 10 role.

Well now I feel silly XD So he does have a good claim to number 10.

Hazard Deal Confirmed
Suprised hasn't been linked yet? But its official

i wonder what number he will take
maybe ballack's 13? or DD's 11?


Few rumours on CFC Forum, he wants Mata's no 10. Don't know, guess we will find out in the pre season tour of USA

Mata asked and got Benayoun's 10 last season, don't think he'll give it up easily. Just hoping there won't be much drama regarding numbering of all things >_>


Isn't Hazard a winger? Giving number 10 to a winger is weird.


Well Mata is a winger more so than Hazard, both can play anywhere across the pitch in advanced midfield positions really. I doubt people care about being No.10 when theyre moving to a new club and it isnt vacant.

Anyone else think Kagawa will get the acclaimed #7 for United (considering Owen left)?

i think it might be better off if he doesn't get the #7. way too much pressure.

everybody says he's a good signing, but idk, i still have my reservations. dortmund and man u play differently and unless man u can get a decent holding mid, kagawa might not be that effective.

I laughed so hard after reading one article at croatian portal today that Barca is keeping tabs on Dejan Lovren as a potential signing. He's not bad, but damn is he weak in defensive sense.

Yes I hope not, it's a lot of pressure and also I don't think he's earned it yet. If he plays well for at least a season then sure.

Japan and Dortmund play differently too, yet Kagawa shines there too.

Plus, I bet you were one of the people who doubted Kagawa could repeat his awesome first season.
Guess what, he is one of the few players who actually got better in his 2nd season. How many players shone in their 1st season only to turn bad in the 2nd?

Kagawa is a beast. I belive that Honda and him can bring Japan to the Ro8 in Brazil in two years!

Still there is a difference between playing for United in the league and the Japanese national team/Dortmund. I think he'll be great. In behind Rooney and with the wingers United has its pretty scary. But I can understand people who have reservations because United dont have the backbone in midfield they used to so its all great thumping league teams but on the continent will be the real challenge.

I'll be interested to see how Utd line up next year. Cram Kagawa in and you have Rooney and Welbeck up front, Rooney a little behind. Young and Nani on the wings, Valencia now and again, and I guess Kagawa and Carrick in the middle. I haven't seen Kagawa play - can he boss the midfield? Because Carrick isn't known for his hard tackling...

Japanese players don't foul much, but they do very good clean tackles.

Kagawa is a small version of Messi. Meaning he will be great for United if they play fast combination football ...

I'm sure after a year the EPL fans will be celebrating Kagawa ...

Hazard can play every-where, really, the fact is that he isn't the kind of player who will allways dribble and keep the ball, he's a verry smart player who has great ability, if he sees he can't dribble two guys on a side he won't and will pass the ball (unlike 90% of this kind of talented players) then try to create space.
His goal is 1) don't give the ball 2) try find the good pass 3) drible if there's no solution

This is why so many people were expecting too much for him vs England, they thought he was a Ribery or whatever, but he's more like a playmeker who can run really fast and drible like crazy

So you can say he's pretty much an Asian Messi
I'd compare Miyaichi to Cristiano Ronaldo or Walcott (for his pace).

Fergie really needs to sign some sort of enforcer for the middle.. can see him moudling Jones perhaps into that position!!!
