I've always been skeptic of spending big on him. But short term, this could have a huge impact on us. The guy is simply brilliant IMO.
 
Seeing this signing makes me think Kagawa might be played in centre mid this season. I don't see where else he's going to fit into the team as surely we won't drop Rooney, and RVP won't be on the bench.
 
How on Earth are we going to line up? Could we do this:

-------------De Gea--------------
--------Vida---Rio---Evans-------
--Valencia-----------------Evra--
----------Carrick-Scholes--------
-------------Kagawa------------
--------Rooney---RvP-----------

? No Nani, Young, Chica, Welbeck etc?

:drool: Ah, the old 5-2-3 formation :drool:

How does everyone feel then? This is our biggest signing in years.

I'm fecking elated!!!!
 
Would rather we had signed 1-2 CMs before even looking at a striker. Berbatov hasn't even left yet. What are we gonna start playing 4-1-5 now?

Dunno, just seems a decidedly odd transfer. Good player obviously, but not what we needed and question marks on fitness. He will expect to play every game, as will rooney, meaning Welbeck and Hernandez feeding off scraps, not to mention Kagawa.


The only way I can justify this is if we were going to see a surprise departure of Rooney or Hernandez
 
I do hope that that is conditional on appearances to some degree, we don't want a repeat of the Hargreaves transfer as far as injuries go which is a risk here.

Where does that leave Welbeck and Hernandez? They have earned some sort of standing at the club.

The wages should be interesting.
 
What a Storey!


Can't stop laughing at a man I never met off the internet.


Why is it so sweet?

Sweet like chocolate, gives me so much joy, sweet like chocolate........
 
I did the same thing over facebook :lol:

I still don't know what I think of this transfer.
 
Subject to agreeing personal terms and passing a medical? does that not mean someone else could come in and 'gazump' us?

RvP wanted to come to United. Personal terms will have been already agreed privately prior to agreeing terms with Arsenal.
 
As expected.

Don't know how to react really. Obviously we've got ourselves a world class player, but I'd lie if I said I wasn't very excited about the prospect of our current attack.

Still, he'll be able to add some more bite to our attack. Welcome Robin.
 
Wow. Seriously. Not in a position that we desperately need but, hell, a player of his class???!!! Get in!!!
Now a CM please!
 
He'll probably fail his medical - he has a bad bad from carrying Arsenal last season.
 
I'm still in utter disbelief. I can't believe this is happening.

Same here, it's the last thing I ever expected going into this summer. I'll just repeat what I said in the transfer forum earlier, City's success has got to Fergie.
 
Can't wait to hear from the "we just bid, but we can't afford" crew.
 
Fantastic signing for United, we will decimate all!
