yeah but unlike Sahin, Kagawa is real class and there is no reason not to play him...

Nope, why?
Has been awesome this year ^_^ Looked the best player during pre season and played well for 45minutes against Hull. Didn't play vs Villa. Im sure he starts vs Man Utd due to Mata not looking 100% yet

i rarely watch anything other than EPL
But following other leagues via livescore.com or something similar. When i saw KDB scored or assisted in a match then watched highlights. I actually do this with every chelsea player on loan if i have opportunity

I was just curious ^^ As I'm a bit priviledged by having watched him play here in Belgium (same for Courtois and others) I was wondering how much you had seen him play

First time Chelsea fans came across him was when he played against us in the champions league for his Belgian club. Was a player with two feet, crossing left and right, and had a nice pass. Was like 19 back then or something then we put a bid in for him in the January i think signed him, loaned him back, then last season loaned him Germany and this year he will make a very good player for us



David Moyes says there is a possibility Man Utd will not make anymore Signings in the Transfer Window

Jose Mourinho says Willian has chosen Chelsea over Tottenham

Not at all, you can have him. Lamela is the real prize.

why don't they play him then? I agree he's the real deal and probably one of the better players at ManU, but for some reason he gets low game time.
Imagine a place where the Alps meet the Mediterranean, where you can pick autumn fruits in the morning, bathe in the Adriatic in the afternoon, and go night skiing in the evening…It’s Slovenia!

Because the managers who are there don't have faith in him. See him as to weak for the league etcetc. But as you know you won't get used to the premier league pace/physicallaity sat on the bench! = Bad management.

Welbeck - RVP - RW

Is how united should play IMO or how i would play it. Get a Fellaini for DM and a decent RW or maybe use Ashley Young there and you set




Sky Sports understand that the deal to take Gareth Bale from Tottenham to Real Madrid is edging "ever closer". SSN's man in the Spanish capital, Any Burton, reports:


"There was talk on Wednesday night that a deal was hours away - that was then scaled back a bit because there was a tribute match to Raul and the feeling was the club held back on an announcement to get that out of the way.

"That game has now gone ahead and the focus has moved on - this morning's Marca has a double page spread claiming 'Done Deal' and quoting a price of 99m Euros (£84.7m) and a six-year contract that has been agreed but not signed.

"Sources here tell me they may have jumped the gun a little but we certainly know this deal is edging closer - there were nine pages in Marca today including features on how he would fit into the Real line-up.

"There are cameramen from all of the Spanish sports papers here outside the players' entrance just in case - and we understand that this deal is edging ever closer."

According to the Telegraph, the Bale deal is now on hold thanks to the Willian hijacking.

The problem is that he and Rooney both want to play CAM, and Rooney has gotten his way... which isn't all that unreasonable, but it's ended up wasting Kagawa's talent. They've tried playing him at LM (which he has played for Japan) but it limits his strengths and he doesn't defend that well against a fast RB.

If Mata can play out wide then that would actually help United out a lot to swap Rooney for him, even without taking Mata's younger age into account, because then he and Kagawa would fit together more naturally than Rooney and Kagawa.

I'm not wholly convinced by Kagawa and I can understand why Fergie and Moyes haven't been convinced yet. Sure he ran through and around defences in germany for half a season but he doesn't have too many raw physical attributes and he's certainly not Messi. I question whether his tricks will be as useful against the better defences of the PL.

There is a lot of fanboyism for Kagawa around here...I'm not quite sure why...lots of japanophiles in TL?

Mata is better than all of them, I am certain of it. Why would we sell off the best player?? He's also the furthest in his development and can put the team on his back.


Because you can get Rooney in return. Mata is your best midfielder, but I do think you guys have enough talent in midfield to compensate for his loss. That said, if (big if) Torres becomes the old Torres again than I don't think you need Rooney.



Top clubs don't sell off their best players. It's just not sensible!!!




Well you are trading your best player for United's best player haha.


Dont think Van Persie is going anywhere !

goal machine = scores lots of goals
lots of goals = wins games
winning games = makes you best

Uhhhh, how can Rooney being more complete be better than van persie who wins games? :p
