Kagawa: I’m Lucky To Be At This Great Club

Having returned from the first part of the pre-season tour, new signing Shinji Kagawa has reflected on what it feels like being a Manchester United player.

“I have joined such a great club and I want to achieve results here,” he told the official site. “I want to play football without forgetting that fact. United have so many fans and, because of that, I feel a big responsibility. That is in my mind each day. I was totally amazed by how many fans came out in South Africa and China, and how loud they were! It made me realise that United supporters are all over the world. It dawned on me how big a club United is and I feel very proud and lucky to be a part of this club.”

    Before someone else says it, I’m gonna: “Less talk, more action, Mr. Kagawa!”

  2. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    P.S. I am surprised this hasn’t gotten more attention on this blog. And if it has, my apologies for overlooking it.

    Anyways, Schmikes totally deserves this. I know some people consider him Judas for switching over to City for one season, I don’t think that makes him any less of a Red. I was unfortunate enough to not watch him in his prime but just seeing videos of him shows what a great goalie he was and listening/reading to what he says shows you how much passion he still has for United. A Red Legend through and through in my eyes.

  3. kk says:

    Yes,you have a responsibility to us make us proud boy

  4. Zibbie says:

    Balaji, Peter a new recruiter!!!

    Kagawa, It happens to every player that dawns the kit! You can handle this, rock star you are now!

  5. Ash says:

    With all due respect to Park I feel kagawa could well surpass the contribution made by park. Kagawa looks like a real prospect, I can bet if he was english or german people and media would be going mad about him.

  6. Zibbie says:

    Ash, I saw him 10 times last year in Germany, he was the best player on the field 7 of those games. Great football IQ! A winner, makes the correct play most of the time.

  7. slim says:

    Cant wait to see this lad link up with Danny

  8. Ash says:

    Zibbie

    Agree with you. His skill is so great that he could be one of the greats. He also has the knack of scoring goals. I have really high hope on him. Hope he lives upto his expectation.

  9. Redhot Concepts says:

    Carroll anyone? Just a thought! Youth, powerful but wasted at dipper land. Cld take e load off wazza! Heard he’s up for sale! Cld be useful wit e services of tony/Ashley/nani/shinji!

  10. Devil310 says:

    Where’s King Eric when you need him?

    ;)

  11. parryheid says:

    What do you mean you hope he lives up to his expectation.The way your blowing his trumpet it should be a given,but we’ll see.

  12. Zibbie says:

    KE on I hope temporarily on boycott
    Many take silly season off.
    Like RedHot there, wo, trolling for abuse?
    I have learned to not read people who piss me off like GOAT, a smart funny guy with a real dark side. He would show every 5th time drunk, then his racist self he could not hide, we did battle as I have done in the past with some. I try to leave it between 2 and only the one thread. He chose to attack me for days on every thread, his true colors exposed for all to see, a sick fuck indeed.
    Many just can not help but read their shit, like a car wreak so hard not to look.
    GOAT talks with others all good, when people were asking for no one to type at me it showed more about them.
    We all have gifts, talents a uniqueness that is ours, I can read people, he has a real dark, dark, side. Hits women, kicks kittens, steps on flowers, walks away from crying baby’s, uses puppies to practic Rugby drop kick’s, pisses in co-workers tea, something.
    Just do not read the trolls, wurms and cunts imho… U be just fine.

    Now if I see my mates being attacked, or every post retorting with a troll, I read get in and take my shots as I take my shots at GOAT! stupid is as stupid does.
    Kaiser Soysey, the devils greatest accomplishment is he has convinced most he does not exist.
    The devil looks like Pacino not a guy red with horns, smooth seductive, funny. ie Goat.

  13. Zibbie says:

    Maybe just his name I am a Cub fan and the curse of the goat, no he sucks.

  14. Zibbie says:

    ESPN2 has Pool and the Spurs on!!!! nice

  15. Zibbie says:

    parry I liked what I saw of him, you been around and MUFC could eat him up and chew him good and spit him out to Sutherland. never know! I like this kids chances. I figure the odds be 50/50

    cant see it happening too much….dont think Danny will be getting all that much game time early on….

  20. Yewale says:

    Thank you boy

  21. Ash says:

    Again carrol? Like I said he is nothing but an expensive version of that robot crouch. Take the head out of carrol and he is nothing but another emile heskey. I am not saying because he plays for liverpool, I ma saying this because he is shit. I don’t want that clown near old trafford.

    What has happened to people today? Carrol to united!

  22. Zibbie says:

    My Lizzy as thin as she used to be but her Judy and 3 of the boyz are coming back to town next week!!

    who next…. Bellamy? Barton?…..

  25. Zibbie says:

    Tony Bee, Do you know what you call 2 Irish gay guys?

  26. TonyBee says:

    anyone heard from that Lebanese asswipe…….

  27. komakech says:

    Kagwa has known by himself that manchester U is the great club but SAF should not get convinced by the present of schole and carrick. schole is age carrick is ligfht and man u without new sighning will be number 7 in the premier not champ.

  28. Zibbie says:

    TB thanks for hitting the Carroll question so spot fucking on.
    Carroll hair care products for cunts.

  29. TonyBee says:

    of course Zibs….Patrick Fitzmichael + Michael Fitzpatrick

    THAT FUCKER IS AS OLD AS THE FUCKING HILLS

  30. parryheid says:

    Hmm.difficult to comprehend,cant get that deep.

  31. Zibbie says:

    No I think Linda beat him up, he is in a bad way, heavily concussed. Means of communication broken over his head. Last post I saw was along the lines when Linda reads this I’m dead, and no Willie either, his new chair ate him I bet.

  32. TonyBee says:

    Memo to Shinji Kagagoogoo….

    Less talk more action…… don’t talk the talk before you can walk the walk…

  33. Zibbie says:

    LOL!!!!!!!!! I new U would KNOW!!!
    :cool:

  34. Zibbie says:

    TB I can not remember many jokes, I’m not wired to memorize, amass info and them put into my own words.
    If you know the one about blow jobs bad teeth and a pit bull let the lads laugh !!

    19 Watson is here!

  35. Devil310 says:

    @Ash -People are watching the olympics, i guess…

    Just watch the brits beat Cameron. Those Brits can really play football….the women team that is

    :D

    The Yanks have a little asian laddie representing them at table tennis…..that shit is not fair! She’s a monster…lol

  36. 911_DEVIL says:

    I heard one say that carroll is the version of crouch
    Well.. Fuck me, he’s nowhere near the class of crouch
    He’s just a fucking useless fucker I’ve seen play football
    I don’t think his talent is better used in the football pitch…. Maybe as a basketball player or as a security at a night club

  37. Zibbie says:

    Do you know how I can tell they invented the tooth brush in Arkansas ?
    If it were invented and where else, it would be called the teeth brush.

    for Tree Arkansas=Leeds

  38. captaink9 says:

    I hear united making some transfer announcement, anyone know or hear this to or is it just a rumour.

  39. 911_DEVIL says:

    I hear one die hard united fan report some transfers about man utd on twitter
    He says:
    Sao paulo has accepted the £30m from united for moura and the player will have his medical after the olympics

  40. Zibbie says:

    9 fucker, like to a junkie, some Mexican brown is on its way, I ask when , where, how????????

  41. Giggsy's Chest says:

    On the verge of being world class, Shinji will be our Silva, our play will go through him. £12 million is an absolute bargain, there really aren’t too many better than him in the position. We’ve needed creativity through the middle for years now, in the past we’ve relied far too much on wingers. Kagawa drifting all over with Carrick and Cleverley/Anderson keeping the shape behind him, leaving Rooney to concentrate on purely being a goalscorer. I’ve put £50 on Rooney to get at least 40 goals in all competitions.

    De Gea

    Rafael Vidic Smalling Evra

    Carrick Cleverley

    Valencia Kagawa Nani

    Rooney

  42. Zibbie says:

    Fletch, Willie all twitter guys WTF is UP!!!!!!!!!!!
    Please do not leave me this way????

  43. Zibbie says:

    that’s a good bet, Kagawa and TC23 through the middle with TV7 Nani and Young whipping in crosses!

  44. 911_DEVIL says:

    Me too wonder if there is some truth in all this buzz
    IMO I’m happy with the player we got at the month
    Only want them to get back from the holis soon, cause the season is not far away from starting.
    Heard that rooney and nani will report for duty on monday
    And both will start training on thursday, will then take part in the second round of the DHL tour….

  45. Capitano says:

    Oh holy shit!!! “This Moura virus is back again??” But am not a “twit” hope it won’t affect our concentration to the coming season ?”

  46. 911_DEVIL says:

    Hahaha, an brown mexican leaving? :D

    Get them to tell you who?
    @zibbie Don’t let them fuck your head around :P

  47. parryheid says:

    Man you are spot on about Anderson keeping the shape behind him,and what a shape.

  48. 911_DEVIL says:

    If your had heard the news that
    The great shevchenko has retired from football (35) to follow politics in ukraine
    Great player he’s
    Always will remain as football legend

  49. ManUforeva says:

    Kagawa is saying all the right things & he’ll have a grandstand first season for us and many more after.

  50. 911_DEVIL says:

    Your name piss me off manU

    But yeah you right kagawa is one exceptional player we have had in years

    Exciting time ahead……. Go go man utd

  55. CedarsDevil says:

    Mr Bee

  56. 911_DEVIL says:

    The op didn’t read the privacy policy of the blog
    And get banned if he doesn’t change his moniker

  57. Capitano says:

    “Manuforeva!” Change that name fella! we don’t say that, its offensive to true United fans! “If you don’t know the history about the name?? ask and we will offer informative links!(politely please!)

  58. TonyBee says:

    which bunny boiler Cedars…theres so many

  59. CedarsDevil says:

    Mr Bee

    Think back to September 2001 and stop being daft on my ass

  60. 911_DEVIL says:

    Cedars ‘MU’ I thought was not offensive
    Then again
    Its being used on man utd mobile website, so I guess its not that offensive :D
    Bunny boiler :-p
    Take piss takers were in full swing

  61. TonyBee says:

    now you’ve got me Sept 01…….??

  62. james21 says:

    King Eric isnt boycotting anything. He’s just busy, he can’t get onto the computor he normally uses and said he can’t be arsed using his phone as it takes too long.

    Andy fucking Carroll do me a favour I’d sooner have Christmas carol.

    I see old Glen Close is still about, she is Portuguese you know.

    Cedars
    Tony Bee sums you up brilliant. Ha ha

  63. CedarsDevil says:

    Oh for fucks sake Mr Bee, think attacks on the twin towers, as in date you stupid slow fuck

  64. TonyBee says:

    oh the 911 bunnyboiler….. duh what a plank I am yeah get what you mean …he is just a little bit too keen at present ..will get told to fuck off or ignored a few times and he will calm down….

  65. Zibbie says:

    Evening all

    A little bit upset eye has started flashing – not severely just flashing again – maybe changing once more – hopefully for the better but not happy

    Trying to stay away from computers tv etc again and then I go watch the film of the year – for me anyway again – Dark Knight Rises…

    Ah well and oh well another adventure I guess

    Take care United…

  70. TonyBee says:

    Having watched the London 2012 Opening Ceremony, I must say…

    that’s the first Bond girl I haven’t wanted to fuck

  71. TheCANTONA says:

    For people here who banging about Carroll (Ji Sung & Redhot) no offense but i think u people need to check your heads. I just watched dippers against spurs preseason match in America. Here’s summary of andy’s performance today: Misplaced pass again, again & again, can’t shoot, no tactical awarenes (why a big lumpy guy who cant drible come deep to pick the ball? For a player known for his heading ability he should’ve stuck in the box ffs!!).
    I’d rather stuck with streetkid BEBE as our frotman than big donkey who cost £35m..

  72. CedarsDevil says:

    MG

    Be well me younger brother

  73. Zibbie says:

    Is it just me or is that selfish of KE to keep all the kid knowledge to himself! Shellfish, Scallop muther fucker :megree:

  74. TonyBee says:

    Holmes GET WELL SOON

  75. TonyBee says:

    HEE HEE not just me with the smilies fuck ups then Zibbz

  76. Zibbie says:

    19 be well mate, thoughts and prayers with you man.

  77. Zibbie says:

    :mrgreen: fuck me side ways

  78. TonyBee says:

    The logic of British people:

    Huge Olympic opening ceremony- £27 million

    Andy Carroll-£35 million

  79. slim says:

    Fuck me. What the fucks going on here. Sign Andy carroll. What is this April fools dsy in July

  80. TonyBee says:

    After such a breathtaking show it was nice to see the Olympic opening ceremony end on a high note.

    Just a pity the sad old scouse cunt couldn’t reach it.

  81. TonyBee says:

    i know SLIM siily season has started early

  82. james21 says:

    Cedars
    Sat here on my own wrapped in my Utd flag singing Utd songs. FFS think the sun has got to me. :-)
    Only one thing for it, if you want to save Buggs’ life then you’ll have do ditch Linda and marry 911. :)

  83. TonyBee says:

  84. CedarsDevil says:

    Jimmy James

    I ain’t going in for mini me, that would just be too fucking weird………. By the way, me Linda has a crush on Kagawa………That’s what you call having taste

    Kagawaaaaaaaaaa

  85. Zibbie says:

    I have been going through a change of women for the first time in 5+ years, after all that time, she gave me an ultimatum, get married, fuck. any way, on line just got an invite for a discrete fuck by a friends wife, thing is she has no Idea its me. FUCK INFORMATION= RESPONSIBILITY!!! FUCK!!!!! A naked shot of he saying she loved my profile and wants a picture and always wanted a submissive spanking from tony soprano!!!
    They have 2 kids, he thinks he is happily married, according to my invite he has not had any interest in sex for 6 years, and she is hot! I do not do married women, but now what . I have to see if he knows he is in an open marriage wow……… 20 mins ago I did not know this.

  86. CedarsDevil says:

    Mr Bee

    She tried twice simply as Linda, her posts never came up, now she just does what every woman else does, i.e. tells me what to say! ha ha ha ha

  87. 911_DEVIL says:

    :D
    Enjoying your posts fuckers

  88. Mikekelly12 says:

    Evening rinse dicks… What’s occurring? I hear some people think it would be a wise move to let some pony tailed sausage jockey pollute our fine club?! The cart horse would do well to get a game for the Rope and Anchor!

  89. JC says:

    Wow what a bunch of muddled trash that opening ceremony was at least the women’s footie matches have been good, poor new zealand though put up a good fight but was hoping they’d knock out that annoying diving whining Marta

  90. slim says:

    TonyBee

    It’s everyman for himself from here on out, name and reputation ain’t gonna cut it. If he makes us tick more SAF won’t have a choice but to keep it that way.
    Saw it happen last season with verbs and Hernandez bearing the brunt of a formidable partnership. Let’s wait n see. For me kagawa is exactly the sort of player Danny needs

  91. james21 says:

    Tony Bee. Linda posts over Cedars, its her that abuses everyone he’s just the bitch. :D

  92. CedarsDevil says:

    Monkey!!!

    What’s up dip shit?

    911

    How can the name manuforever piss you off? It was two days ago you used the term Manu, i advised its a name that many dont like. I personally hate it and will advise politely when used as many reds may not know. So dont go making someone feel uncomfortable who didnt know as you never knew so it can not piss you off at all.

    Your trying to hard to be loved on here, rating postors 1-10, having a go at things you dont even know the meaning off, advising me i was making a name for myself?

    Reign it in mate its ridiculous

  99. Giggs12Gerrard0 says:

    I am not even commenting on the possibility of Carroll thats like asking would I like to watch Gerrard shag my wife.

  100. Zibbie says:

    sorry dudes a moment to gather myself, wow even if you know the sickness of man, to be so surprised by this , I should not be… as a techno ignominious as I stumble through this,then just when I thought I could not be shook more, a friends daughter, 20 wwwwooooooowwwwww back from schooled I’m bored wanna fuck? my dad loves the Sopranos I grew up watching them. I would liked to be fucked by a Big Pussy type LOL! she adds……………. I had dinner with her parent just before she came back for the summer from Northwestern. She says now since moving to Chicago she only fucks Italians…. help, off to by GIN!!!!!!!!!!!

    Have we signed anyone yet!!!!!!

  101. 911_DEVIL says:

    Nah man MU and manU is way different both intending the same significance, but the letter manU annoys the hell outta me

    Its the first time I hear MU is hated by united fans for as many years
    But took your advise giggsy will not use it anymore…..

  102. Atin says:

    Cedars – hi mate, long time.

    Read a problem you mentioned above, guess the posts didn’t get displayed due to the IP conflict, assuming she used your system/ device to post. Clear history, refresh and then should work..

    On-topic (;)) – kagawa is awesome!!!! Loved his two-footed quick play!!!!

  103. slim says:

    TonyBee

    KE will be livid. I expect a rant soon

  104. CedarsDevil says:

    Atin

    Hi pal, hope all is well………..Yeah she tried using my lap top and it never showed up. Thanks for the advice, not sure she is interested any more to be honest

  105. 911_DEVIL says:

    are olympic games any good
    Haven’t watched any so far
    Could anyone insights me with the happenings in london???

  106. CedarsDevil says:

    MU is no better than ManU…………..People should read up on the history

    We’ve discussed this to death on here

  107. Atin says:

    All good all good, thanks.

    Haha – ” if it works the first time, it’s fine, else, I don’t care” :P just joking pal!

    Btw – ever since the last few nights of enthusiasm/ nostalgia fueled singing, I’ve been meaning to ask you, do you have any audio files of utd chants pls? would love it if you could share.

  108. james21 says:

    Andy Carroll? Are you taking the fucking piss, seriously? You are fucking nuts and know fuck all about football.

    Now who would say that? I’m pissing myself.

  109. samuel - united WE stand says:

    “Carroll, anyone?” – sounds like a sack of camel shit is being offered on ebay. Carroll? fucking andy carroll?, you must be kidding me. Slow pony-tailed cunt, i don’t get it when you say he’s wasted at the pool. Was he ever useful?. If carroll was playing in any league that places emphasis on technique, he’d be getting pasted with tomatoes. I’d rather have a gargoyle up front. Awfully shocking footballer. can’t control, can’t pass, lacking severely in technique, can’t score but hey that’s okay because he “Hits the cross-bar”. Big lump knows his way around pies than he’ll ever do on the pitch. 35Million, ashley’s wobbly belly laughed all the way to the bank, even the cash machine laughed at the idea of carroll being sold for that amount of money.

  110. mancdub says:

    Your not a full shilling are you?

  111. CedarsDevil says:

    Atin

    Do not have any audio mate, there are loads on youtube…….Besides I am old school, most of the chants we were belting away are ahead of my time so you need folk like Giggs12, Mike and James to help you out

  112. Mikekelly12 says:

    For an excellent in depth insight into the origin of the term ManU, please read the excellent articles posted several months ago by Giles Oakley.
    Atin
    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some United chanting on YouTube mate, could try that.

  113. james21 says:

    Atin
    Put in Bishop Blaize in Utube. Its a pub where Reds meet before a game. There’s quite a few songs.

  114. Giggs12Gerrard0 says:

    Atin

    Best thing to do mate is get on Youtube as Mike says and just search Manchester United songs. There will be hundreds to choose from.

  115. utd_fc says:

    fuck me are we being linked to carroll or something? Media gone nuts or the people? Who dunnitt

  116. Atin says:

    Cedars, mike, James, giggsy – thanks guys! Just found an app on the apple iStore which has shitloads of chants sung by united fans! brilliant stuff!

  117. CedarsDevil says:

    No its not the media
    Some insane fans in here suggest us to go for

    Well I responded straight away
    The player does not have any hope in his playing career
    Probably will end up robbing banks

    ‘I wasn’t offered the chance,’ Scholes said.

    Hodgson had decided against him as he did not want to risk rejection by the Old Trafford veteran. ‘Well, that’s his opinion isn’t it,’ said Scholes. ‘He’s entitled to that.’

    Would he have said No? Scholes said: ‘I’ve no idea. It was flattering to be talked about. But I wasn’t asked, so it means nothing.’

  130. Zibbie says:

    G12 this lad I presume is an odd ball, maybe a friend from the past to haunt him, odd fellow at best. Then he cools his jets on cedars after being schooled nips at my heals with 20 some zibbie posts? Like like different, not him tho, whats his dill doe. deal tho? I do not know?

    The Daily Mail…

  132. Devil310 says:

    Hope not inzibbie. He does seem to have all the right attributes to be a United star, not only on the pitch but outside as well.

    I know that last year we were close on signing Nasri. Im just glad we dodged that bullet. Kagawa seems like a better fit

  133. CedarsDevil says:

  134. Mikekelly12 says:

    Zibbie asked for some twitter news…

    @walsh_i: Tomorrow’s “exclusive” from the Star is Robin Van Persie wants £220k per-week, same as Rooney, to join #MUFC…

  135. Mikekelly12 says:

    Devil310
    The boy is head and shoulders above Nasri! Saw a lot of him last year and really rate the lad. Just what we’ve been lacking in that forward area! He’ll be fine mate, nowt to worry about.

  136. CedarsDevil says:

    Mike

    RvP at OT, please tell me its on, please tell me its happening!

  137. Zibbie says:

    MK thanks with self imposed 53% wage of turnover cap, with all the big paychecks gone and a lower transfer fee, does it make and scene?
    Is that what Wazza gets? never quit new, 200-250 I’ve herd.
    Berba was on 90K? owen gone, JOS and Wes were at 80K ?
    I know for many that is way to much, but what is the market price for wages of a worlds top 10 striker?
    I as a Johnny Come lately from the States say’s pay him for 3 years and get a CL or 2 that would offset it! RVP has played 18 months straight only Messi, CR&, Gomez and Rooney come to his level, maybe Cavani and Ibra as well.

  138. james21 says:

    Its a grind. A grinding little noise just like iced earth , fanboy and sachu. There’s so many things in common with 911 and their posts. WTF can’t posters use 1 username or admit it when they get found out.

    Cedars
    Haha… The Star is full of shit. They generally have stories that us a “source” that is close to a source who is close to the players second cousin, twice removed!! There is no way he’d be asking for wages like that and if he did Gill would actually piss his pants! RvP…. No chance, Moura, nope. Money better spent in my opinion would be £15 on Dembele.

  143. Devil310 says:

    Mike
    True to that mate. He has that particular quality and vision we’ve been lacking in recent years.

    About RvP – as much as I would want him playing for us, his injury record does scare the shit out of me. Specially if he wants to make as much as Rooney. How much was Berbamaster making? I know he was making bank, can’t remember how much tho

  144. CedarsDevil says:

    Mike

    But RvP at OT would give this old fool a happy death……The mere thought of him and Rooney up front with Kagawa just behind……Oh dear God

  145. Zibbie says:

    That’s it lets just not read 911 any more let alone respond, he will be back like herpes simplex 10, just with a new name. A cedars crush 1st clue to the virus 1st known as sachu . Like the Spanish or 1918 flu, were over 1% were killed by him, poster’s like him do kill off others. It is an an osmosis thing.

    I stop from posting here?
    Isn’t that what your all want?

    Is there any explanation of why am I at the wrong end :(

    Just because I said I’m portuguese and I don’t sound like one?

    We all discuss united on here

  147. Mikekelly12 says:

    Devil310
    Not sure on Berba’s wages. Reports were £90k per week. RvP is a quality player but just don’t see the need for him. Those wages and the £20m could be better used elsewhere, and like I said earlier, I think someone like Dembele would be a good fit.

  148. Zibbie says:

    Willie got Wonkaed by his new recliner.

    Payroll has been reduced, will Nani be offered more?
    Vida on 90K Kompany just got 130K. MUFC do good business, I know hard for many to think, Wazza is worth his pay, fucking Glazzers almost blew it. Wazza say’s like way stupid suff and SAF has to save it, almost making him look bad, ALMOST!!
    If SAF wants him, he is aware his $$$ demands. He must think they are close. If RVP goes for 30 K more fuck him the horse he road in on and his wife up the but with a 12 inch cock as round as a Genius can.
    Rio from 110K down to ?

  149. Lebomanc says:

    Hey all…
    Mike
    Totally agree. As u said, we don’t need him. What we need is a central midfielder. And Dembele for 12m is a good choice, he also plays deeper than kagawa and most of our other midfielders which is good

  150. CedarsDevil says:

  154. Devil310 says:

    Not sure I would say we don’t need the RvP. One injury to Rooney and we could be fucked. As much as I rate Welbeck, I don’t think he’s ready to lead the line. We always had Berbamaster to rely on when that has happened, but if he’s gone….we could be in trouble

    United george- Chelsea are shit. They think they are the favourites because they have bought some mercenaries then they can do one for me and fuck off.

    As far as RVP goes I will welcome him. We can get topclass 3-4 season from him. But we should not spend more than 20 millions on him. No resale value.

    Just reread every post and what is this shit with carrol now. He is an ultimate shit. Welbeck 10 times better than carrol.

  167. Red_Fury says:

    IMO people are stereotyping Carroll after his move to Merseyside. Before his move he was the best thing in Newcastle. Did well for the U-21s. Cut out his hair, his drinking habit (is it for real??), give him a clean shave, then maybe we can get a decent player.

  168. Atin says:

    Hi Harish, top of the morning to you

    I can imagine the quandary with paying £20m for Rvp. In the last 8 years, only the last season has been injury free. Is that sufficient proof of him having turned a corner. I’m sure the club doesn’t want another Michael Owen situation with the kind of wages that Rvp is asking for! Along with the wages, assuming £150,000 a week, total investment on Rvp becomes £51.2 million for a 4 year stay with united. That’s roughly £13m a year. Further, assuming a £300m turnover for this year, that means an addition of roughly 1% to the wages expense, not factoring in the wage increases yet to be offered to nani and other players.

    With the current wages to turnover ratio at 49%, that means we easily cross 50% which might limit getting in new players at higher wages. Again, I’m assuming the turnover remains fairly constant.

    While I agree the figures I’ve used here are not exact and rounded off, the question really is, can we afford that kind of an annual expense and can he help us get in trophies + revenues, and subsequently profits, which will help cover that cost?

  169. Harish says:

    Atin

    Not so well in financial matters but read the andy green blog last year which talked about our wage structure. We have sold oshea,Brown and Vds and garry neville have retired so that frees maany wages. We still can buy a player who demands top class wages. Honestly We will offer that kind of wages to a top player only and not to a nasri or Hazard type who are not top class. So I can see us paying RVP that kind of money. Moreover no one knoes the exact amount of money that rooney earns here. I doubt he will be getting 220 k.

    Yeah Last season was for the first time that rvp eventually performed like a top player but he could be a useful addition. With berba more or ;less leaving we need a top player and Van persie if available on a decent price could be a bargain.

  170. eric keane says:

    Common we can do much better than over-paid oafs with one great season under their belt.
    Carrol had it year before RVP last year..
    RVP is a good striker but his injury record must strike fear into out medical team.

  171. TheCANTONA says:

    “Cut out his hair, his drinking habit (is it for real???), give him clean shave, they maybe we can get a decent player”

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….!!!

  172. eric keane says:

    harish
    re chelsea : they’re suffering the sunderland syndrome. a manager who’s not really up for the job and too many new faces in the team. they’ll struggle this year. their purchases have baffled me. they have 4 center attacking mids. two shit strikers and well that ardent racist John Terry. they’re like a pregnant woman. bloated in the middle fragile at both ends :D

  173. TheCANTONA says:

    @Eric Keane:
    Dont tell me you compare RvP with Carroll? Did u check RvPs stats (goal per play) in last 5 years before?

  174. eric keane says:

    i didn’t compare them. came out wrong.
    just feel RVP is not what we need with our injury record

  175. CedarsDevil says:

    Morning all

    Comparing Carroll to RvP? Ha ha ha ha That is border line blasphemy, how can you compare a donkey pub player to the best finisher in world football? Utter down right pathetic

  176. eric keane says:

    cedars : see the post above before bashing me.

    IT CAME OUT WRONG !!!

  177. devil's own says:

    eric keane – you compare carroll to RVP and expect the resident sheep-shagger to not abuse you. you are naive.

  178. CedarsDevil says:

    eric keane

    Yeah just read it mate, I was not bashing you pal else I would have addressed you………I was simply bashing the idea

  180. eric keane says:

    okay mate. i was really disgusted by that idea. . :P
    of comparing RVP to Carroll..

    devil’s own – mind your own shit.

  181. eric keane says:

    sorry for the extensive stats. just wanted to make the point that this is a player that has been hampered due to injuries for most of his career. he’s a great player but not what we should get. seeing as our medical team is full of ponces

  182. eric keane says:

    i could post rooney’s as comparison but they’re longer more extensive and scott might ban me for posting rubbish. :P

  183. CedarsDevil says:

    eric keane

    You are spot on, RvP is extremely prone to injuries, but imagine if we get 2 or 3 seasons like the one he had last year? Cannot see it happening but if we do get him it will be a master stroke

  184. eric keane says:

    http://www.eplindex.com/16837/manchester-united-robin-van-persie-stats-comparison.html

    this link gives a clear comparison of chicharito welbeck berba rooney rvp

  185. Atin says:

    Harish – got disconnected, so apologies for the late reply..

    Granted that point and assuming each was at roughly 100k a week, that’s about 400k of which about half is blocked [60 (jones), 80 (young), 60 (de gea)], the balance goes into refinancing Rooney’s increased wages (increase by min of 60k??), potential Nani increase (quoted in various press literature as 40K, from 90 to 130), Welbeck increase (15 to 45/60), Chico increase (already happened by about 40k). Even if we consider the lower limits for each of the players, it amounts to 370k odd. + Kagawa happened :) So, covered that part i think and thus, a moot point.

    With regards the budget for new signings, I guess we can safely say, there would be a sizeable amount considering we were/are in for Hazard/ Moura/ RvP, but again, as I asked above, is it really something that can push Utd to the next level both on the field and off it? On – I believe yes, 4 strikers ala 99, all dependable to score/make goals for the other 10 on the pitch. Off – the financial ramifications of RvP succumbing to injury, god forbid, would be far greater. This is the risk I was talking about earlier.

    And really, that’s all that we can do. The final decision stands with the two guys who have run this club with great distinction together for the last decade, SAF and Gill. Hope the transfer goes through, for purely its entertainment value – I mean, come on, who would not want Rooney and RvP running rampant through defences with Kagawa raping shit in the opponent’s half, TonyV7 terrorizing the shit out of opposing LBs and Nani/ Young entangling the RBs in their trickery and crossing/ play making. All I am concerned about is the club not making rash decisions to appease certain fan sections baying for a high salary player. I’d much rather we not getting a player who potentially sets up for financial issues than get him and then face difficulties going forward once SAF goes. My concern stands with the club’s long term future and implementation of a sustainable model.

    Disclaimer: I don’t want to get into any discussion on the owner’s and the debt issue and thus, I am assuming they will continue to run it and we, the club, will continue to make the payments. Would request you and others not to open up the owner issue pls. Thanks!

  186. eric keane says:

    cedars – since last season’s defensive crisis ‘ve become pessimistic about our players staying injury free.. so excuse me being so negative. i believe we will sign him get one good year and then he’ll start getting injured more often. just wish that did not happen.

  187. Diego says:

    The best finisher in the world? Taking the piss surely. He hit some form last year but still nowhere near messi or ronaldo. Thankfully there is not one chance that we would buy this glasshouse.

  188. Atin says:

    Cedars – agree mate, that call in the hope of getting 2-3 seasons like the last one, that really is the one that matters the most. Who finally takes it on his head and says, “let’s do it”. That’s rhetorical obviously :D SAF’s the man! But, you got to say, it is a big call.

    Another issue, which we’ve recently seen mentioned here, though not discussed greatly, is that is all this RvP talk is just that – talk? Reasons: 1) just a smokescreen for a different player 2) quickly getting welbeck to sign on our terms and 3) pushing the price up for competition and 4) possibly ensuring that he’s not sold to a team in the EPL. Even though I am not averse to getting him here, I am sure of one thing, I do not want City to get him. Even Chelsea for that matter, not that they have been mentioned anywhere. But, just saying.

  189. Atin says:

    Diego – Messi and Ronaldo in Spain mate. and safe to say, on a different planet/ level altogether. I don’t imagine a scenario where either would be coming to the EPL in the future. (Notwithstanding the fact that if Ronaldo did come to us, I’d be absolutely over the moon!) Of the others, the so-called “world-class” gang, I guess yes, RvP was definitely one of the big-hitters last season and has always displayed that bit of class and finesse that makes you sit up and admire the guy’s skills!

    Atin

    Did you enjoy them chants mate? Got any favourite already?

  191. TheCANTONA says:

    “one great season under their belt, Carroll had it year before RvP last year”.
    Sorry pal, but surely people who read that line would’ve come up with exactly what i thought.
    RvP main issue is injuries, but he’s a class striker, his talent is there to see, not one season wonder footballer, hence if u see his stats he still had good record of goals. Meanwhile carroll is just shit, pure shit whether he’s fit or not.

  192. Atin says:

    Cedars – yeah mate! my fav one yet is definitely “Gary Neville is a red” :D Still going through them! loads of ‘em really!! They are recordings from live games – so can hear the fans chanting at the top of their voices!

  193. parryheid says:

    Our front line and wings are as sound as a pound,we have a slight problem at left back which may vanish if Evra becomes a defender again this season.It would be prudent to have good back up to ensure that position is covered.Our main problem is the right side of midfield where last season teams just played right through the middle and we had no one giving assist to Carrick my solution is Martinez preferably but there are others capable and I find it hard to believe this area is not going to be addressed and people are falling for the Van Persie and Lucas fairytales.

  194. jeet says:

    I know its a slow weekend, but that doesnt mean we got to debate andy carrol!!! Ffs, there’s nothing to debate about him!

    Some great chants there

  196. eric keane says:

    Jeet – the term long haired pillock suits carroll. ‘D prefer shrek to lead our line rather than carroll.

    Cedars – those chants were epic!
    My father was at the 1984 cup winners cup game. I still hear stories about the atmosphere in OT that day.

  197. CedarsDevil says:

    eric keane

    Mate, I lived in Manchester for many years during the 70′s and 80′s never missed a match…….The game your dad was at I assume was vs Barca? I was there as was Mike the poster here……Best night of my life, we were so fucking loud they could hear us in Sweden!

    Anyway we have discussed the issue of noise levels at OT these days many times but trust back in the days when we were winning fuck all we were much louder……….Still, our away fans are the fucking best

  198. Atin says:

    Cedars – HAHAHA! forgot to mention – that was the only video I saw last night when James pointed it out :) lovethe enthusiasm there – I can hardly begin to imagine the adrenaline rush jumping and singing with 100s of other Reds! Have been limited to 15-20 guys watching/ jumping/ screaming till date!

  199. eric keane says:

    Yes. My family stayed in manchester till 88.
    I think more success brings people who just come to watch and not shout. Wish I could experience OT. Seems tad difficult this year though.

  200. CedarsDevil says:

    Atin

    Hopefully the day will come when you make your first trip to OT, will fucking blow your mind away….Better still I propose getting to an away match with the REDS, you’ll be bouncing on a fucking trampoline mate

  201. Atin says:

    Yeah – studying for my B-school exams. If the ones in India don’t work out, am gonna give the GMAT and apply to the Manchester Business School :P :D Plans all set – parents agreed, fingers crossed then! ;)

  202. eric keane says:

    Atin – try edinburg business school. Its better than manchester.
    We’re in the same boat then. Just gave GRE IELTS. Looking for delft and manchester…

    Like one said, chop off his head then, he’s nothing

  204. Atin says:

    eric – thanks! getting into research and stuff? I never gave the GRE myself, am so not a technical/ research kinda guy. Loads of my friends are in the states and spread across Europe pursuing either MS or PhDs in engineering fields.

  205. eric keane says:

    Yes. Well im from the petroleum field. So nothing decent here. Have to try and get a masters else jobs are hard to come by. Its more out of need that choice if you get me :P

  206. Atin says:

    hahaha – same here…! I got into the consulting sector with one of the good global firms, need to top the work experience with a business degree, else gonna get stuck in the rut!

  207. goatinaunitedshirt says:

    Van Persie asking for Rooney wages will never happen. One thing going for Rooney is he is a strong SOB and will pretty much always give 95% of a season and only bone breaks will keep him out briefly. Van Persie is a pussy, he breaks straines and snaps as soon as a defender is near him. I dont want the fans on here saying in one breath the Glazers are taking money out the club and then with another breath defending a player taking the money out the club by getting massages all day in the sick room.
    Van Persie is not for us, demoting Wellbeck and Hernandez down the pecking order is stupid and he will only cost us alot more in the long run.
    I would take Van Persie but my offer would be 8 million for the fee, a signing on fee/agents fee 2 million max. Wages £110 000 before tax on a 3 year deal. Thats it. But to be honest if he agreed I still would probably try and squeeze more out.

  208. DreadedRed says:

    ex Hull Daily Mail:

    Ben Amos signed a new three-year contract with United in May, and Amos hopes his loan switch to East Yorkshire will benefit all parties:

    “I knew in my head that I needed to play games this season and Hull is a great opportunity. It was Eric Steele, the goalkeeping coach at United, who made me aware that Hull were interested in me. He and my agent put it forward to me and straight away I was enthusiastic to make sure it happened.”

    “I’ve stayed patient at United for a couple of years now but the chances haven’t really come around so far. Hopefully, a big season here can change that. With me signing my deal in the summer it was a case of me going out on loan to play some games, then going back and push for number one at United. They made it clear to me that they still believe I can be number one at United. I feel as though I could do it now. I’ve got that belief in myself to do a job if I got called upon. While they’re still saying those things to me and I still believe I can do it, then I was always going to sign the new deal.”

    “Steve [Bruce] and Sir Alex have obviously got a good relationship and I’m sure he’s probably picked up a few things from Sir Alex to go alongside his own ways. You see him in training and he’s really assertive, that’s certainly the impression I get. I’m really excited to be here and hopefully I can give him everything he wants in his goalkeeper.”

    “The vibe I get from the camp is that there’s an ambition to get back into the Premier League so that’s got to be the aim for myself and all the lads. I’m here to help Hull get promoted and to play as many games as I possibly can. I’m not sure it’s completely realistic with all the cup games and league games in the Championship, but I’ll pick a number and set a target.”

    News just in united to make a shock bid for cashly cole.(The PEOPLE) Haha WTF

  210. DreadedRed says:

    ex manutd .com, Eric Steele says:

    “The manager has got a lovely decision with Anders back, albeit with a totally disjointed pre-season, and he’s got David coming back off the Olympics at whatever stage, and there is healthy competition which is what every manager wants. I think Anders has got every chance to do so [start the season as first choice]. We brought him back early, as David did on 28 June when he did two days’ physical and sports conditioning and then a full week with me before he joined up with the Spanish squad. We made sure he went into there with some form of base.”

    “David missed pre-season last year, misses it this year and will miss it next year because it’s the European Under-21 Championship again. With the value of pre-season, he’s missed two and that does throw the gauntlet down to Anders. Of course it does and, due to the disjointed nature of pre-season, Anders has got a chance. At the Swedish, Norwegian and German games, Ben Amos will be gone by then, so we’ve got to travel with Anders and Sam Johnstone and that gives him a chance to say: ‘Okay, I’ll stake a claim’.”

    When asked if for a place in the team, Steele replied: “Of course [there is a competitive relationship between the pair]. If Anders didn’t [have that], I’d kick his backside because that is what we brought him in to do. We brought him in initially for the first four or five months to spend time with the master and he worked alongside Edwin [van der Sar]. He had a problem with his knee but at least he was there to see what was expected of him. It did him the world of good. Don’t forget he’s a late developer whose only had about 80-90 games but he’s 28 and has still got a great career ahead of him.”

    “He knows this is his chance. Whoever wears the jersey, it doesn’t matter if we’re playing a friendly because there’s no such thing as a friendly as these are high-profile games. I make the point to Anders not to under-estimate pre-season games in terms of forming an image and impression in the manager’s mind. What they should all be thinking about is, when the first XI is decided to go to Goodison, you want to be in that.”

    “They [De Gea, Lindegaard, Amos, Johnstone] are all at the stage where they should not be the finished article like Edwin and Peter Schmeichel. They know that well so there are still areas for all four of them to improve. So that’s what my job is. They’ve got to be best prepared if that call comes and that’s my job.”

    “I think [the first-team spot] it is up for grabs and the competitive element is what the manager wants. It’s why he’s looking to improve the squad – he wants to have competition at all levels. So if you’re No1, stay with it, or if you’re No2, make sure you do everything to take your chance and retain it.”

    “At the moment, Anders is here and David’s at the Olympics and he’s got to prepare himself to hand it over to the manager to say: ‘Right, what’s your decision?’”

  211. Zibbie says:

    OK 5:15 AM here, got up to piss and here I am. Fucking silly season.

  212. DreadedRed says:

    goatinaunitedshirt – agreed!

    If we pay RvP a pittance, and buy him for nothing, I’m vaguely interested.

    I’m not one to hanker after our rivals’ players, especially when they have a dismal track record.

  213. Zibbie says:

    Dr nice break down on the keepers.
    Always the business comes to play.
    RVP has a following, some shirt sales, some more TV viewers.
    Could MUFC keep him away from Shity?
    He has been healthy for 20 months.
    Could he be a difference in the CL to a lesser FA cups.
    Image is huge in the IPO world, last big signing Berba?
    Image is huge in recruiting players.

    blah blah blah, I surprise myself, I want him. No good reasons, just a gut feeling.

  214. goatinaunitedshirt says:

    DreadedRed
    Every half decent player has their price, Im not so stupid as to “look a gift horse in the mouth” and if you can get a decent player for pennies Im in. But to pay him the same as Rooney is bloody insulting in my eyes. AND many on here will tell you that Im not a Rooney fan but credit where credit is due, Rooney is younger, more scope for improvement, is already blended into the fabric here, proves he gets the goals with the players already here and works well with Hernandez and Wellbeck without stunting their growth.
    Whats the point of replacing Berbatov with Van Persie.

    As for Ashley Cole, lol. We need to be looking to the future to eventually replace Evra, I know lets bring in someone older. ? Rupert Murdoch must be pissed off with the English because he writes complete splurge and you donkeys still spend you £1.50 to read the crap. (sorry I dont know the price of a newspaper nowadays – my last news paper was The Times and it cost me £6 here in Sweden 4 years ago)

    Fabio is the replacement for Evra, he is on conditioning now. We may get another LB but more than likely it will be Evans filling in or even more likely another CB who can also play LB. That player would then be good cover for Evra, allow three 6ft CBs for set pieces if Rafael plays on the right, would gel into Vidics possition as Vidic doesnt have all that long left in regards age.

    Anyone know of any half decent 6ft+ left sided CBs available.

  215. DreadedRed says:

    Pippo Inzibbie – he would be a far better choice than most of the Prem based players.
    That said, I don’t lust after my neighbour’s wife even though she’s hot.

    goatinaunitedshirt – John O’Shea?

  216. Zibbie says:

    LOL got it. Dr,
    Pippo, moment, Dr, Red, in college for Halloween one year I went as Dr. Feelgood, in this pocket, joints, in this pocket lemon 714 ludes, in this pocket mushrooms ect, all in small portions and free, till supplies ran out.

    My I refer to you as Dr. Feelgood as per MUFC purposes?.

  217. goatinaunitedshirt says:

    DreadedRed
    Yeah but he was never really the go to man was he. I loved Sheasy and was thoroughly pissed off with him going but our hand was forced in regards getting Jones a year early and so we had to make room. Sheasy Brown and more than likely Evans in the near future are those CBs that are good enough for cameos and not whine so much sitting on the bench but after years of sitting they slowly decay. Its great to have the two center backs being there all the time and some continuity at the back (Ferdinand + Vidic, Bruce + Pallister) but it also means the back ups decay and the turn around amongst them is far greater. What we need to do is find a young 20-24 year old 6ft center back, with some sort of experience in playing in a back 3 system who has a reasonable touch and reasonable pace (doesnt need to be lightning quick). He needs to play a few games this year maybe 20-25 allowing Rafael to get his 30 games minimum. He needs to be wise of the ways of United before he ultimately replaces Vidic or replaces Evans in 2 or 3 years time.

    But yeah I miss Sheasey

    Paul on Kagawa

    Sir Alex Ferguson hasn’t overhauled the United squad in the wake of title disappointment but Japan international Kagawa has arrived from Borussia Dortmund.”He looks brilliant. I’ve only been in training with him for a couple of weeks but he’s very good technically and you can see the talent he’s got already.”
    Paul Scholes on Shinji Kagawa
    Quotes of the week
    And Scholes is full of praise for the 23-year-old after seeing him close up on the club’s tour of Asia.

    “He looks brilliant. I’ve only been in training with him for a couple of weeks but he’s very good technically and you can see the talent he’s got already,” added Scholes in the Sunday People.

    “He’s had a couple of great years at Dortmund and I think he has been player of the year in Germany – that tells you he’s a top player.

    “He will bring goals to the team, whether he’s scoring them or making them. He’s got great movement and is very clever in the runs he makes.

    “It’s difficult to say which foot is his best. He’s equal with right and left. He’s a good lad. He doesn’t speak much English yet, but I am sure he will be very popular here.”

    carroll? This is unacceptable!

  221. DreadedRed says:

    Zibbie – absolutely you may!

    Methaqualone is very popular here; for many years it was the most available ‘hard’ drug.
    ‘Buttons’ were smoked in vast quantities. A lot of vomiting, retching and spitting occurred!
    And a lot of theft to support the habit.

  222. DreadedRed says:

    goatinaunitedshirt

    JOS was a tongue-in-cheek suggestion by me, but I do admit to missing him.
    He is almost a legend, which is quite the compliment considering his status as a squad player.

    Jonny Evans fits the bill quite well, all things considered. Not a wing-back by any means, but he can do the 3rd-tall-defender job when Rafael starts.

  223. Zibbie says:

    lol!!!!! Thanks Dr.

  224. Zibbie says:

    Dr I have many problems, the one I would like to talk about this 50 min session, is MUFC and how it has become an obsession over the last 9 years. Interrupting sleep, making me crazy, fighting with wurms, blurring perceptions. It gets much worse in the last part of July. Can I be helped?

  225. DreadedRed says:

    Inzibbinator – the only available cure is death. You are United ’til you die.
    Perhaps even in the after-life that awaits us, our Red blood will still surge unchecked.

    Your nine year apprenticeship has prepared you well. It has given you the grounding needed to build a life on. It doesn’t get easier, in fact the opposite is true. In ten years time your frustration with the ABU will have grown tenfold, and you will get less support from die-hard Reds, as many of them will have died. Good luck!

  226. Zibbie says:

    Thanks for the straight scoop Doc. fuck that’s what I was thinking……..
    GO MUFC!!!!!!!!!

  227. Zibbie says:

    As you might have read my rants as of late, the ABU’s had a big push in me becoming a MUFC fan. SAF was being attacked by ABU press, then after like the 3 rd interview I saw with SAF, this cunt, asking stupid questions. SAF just put the fucker in his place. He was so cool, in control and just slayed this twat.
    Man Crush that has only gotten stronger.

  228. Capitano says:

    I would rather we have Llorente than RVP , or we even give Berba another chance. I feel Rvp is injury prone,and last season he was only lucky.

  229. Zibbie says:

    Slow day on twitter guys?
    If no new rumors on twitter, the longer that goes, the closer Lucas is to MUFC, deal is done one way or the other. It is just a matter of being informed.

  230. FRO-NAM says:

    Killer ninja Kagawa is gonna fuck shit up this season! Incredible looking player! And he’s got a mad dirty misses! BOOOOM!
