I couldn't care less if we signed a player from Pakistan,

I don't see why you should. There is nothing wrong with Pakistan or Pakistani people.

shlongconnery:

Guys, seriously, everyone complains we aren't bringing in good players and the minute we do, just because he is from Japan, the only reason we're bringing him in is because of shirt sales, this may not sound it but it is a very *** comment, you're instantly disgregarding what Kagawa has achieved in a very hard and competitive league, the kid has a lot of talent and will work wonders for our team and to set the record straight, we don't see even half of the shirt sales in Asia, we take a cut from Nike, it's not like we get 100% profit and that's the reason we signed Kagawa, get your facts straight and stop being so r a c i s t, I for one am delighted if we close out this deal!

We're better than this guys, we don't want to be like the bin dippers or the berties, those two are incredibly stupid and r a c i s t and come out with things like that, let's just appreciate, we've managed to make a massive coup for a small outlay, he's a 30/35 million pound player if he had a full contract. This place angers me sometimes!

I AGREE ALL THE WAY!

I'm sorry guys but this is r-a-c-i-a-l discrimination, no matter how you describe it, just because he's from Asia that means he's here to sell shirts, if we signed Silva, Mata, Hazard, Sahin, Robben, Gotze etc. would that be to sell shirts? Just because he doesn't have a fancy European name, he is considered only here for shirt sales, I'm sorry but Park was not here for just shirts, he's a big game player and he certainly proved his worth, it's not even a BONUS that he is Asian... Like I mentioned, we see a tiny percentage of the shirt sales in Asia, Nike take the lion share, we'd see the same percentage of sales as if it was another big name.

Those of you that say it's just for shirt sales have never seen Kagawa play, I, like many have seen Kagawa play for two years because of Gotze who everyone regards so highly, Kagawa for me has been far and away the better player of the two on a more consistant basis. Kagawa is a fantastic little player and will take a little time to adjust to the premier league but mark my words, he's going to be brilliant, he loves Manchester United, he was on £1 Million a year at dortmund so he doesn't care about massive wages, just loves football and this club, I for one think that's why we sign Asian players, as a lot of them grew up with us being a major power house and they want to come here and be cult heroes so they play their hearts out.

I couldn't care less if we signed a player from Pakistan, all I ask for is that they play to their fullest every game and give it their all. Kagawa will do this, just stop with the cynisism or whatever you want to sugar coat it as, when really, it's r-a-c-i-a-l discrimination, no question about it.

I just dont see it like that, its just these cynics that believe the club do continually try to pull the wool over our eyes

Well I see it as discrimination against a fantastic little player, just because of where he is from, he's not considered a big name and only considered for shirts, if that's not r-a-c-i-a-l discrimination, please tell me what is? Like I mentioned, if it was a European name, no one would bat an eye lid, it really angers me.

People aren't saying we signed him to sell shirts to be *** at him. They are just simply stating the truth, Because it is true. Was Park signed to sell shirts? YES! so whats changed? also alot of you people really need to stop over exadurating his abilitys, Yeah hes a good player but nowhere near as good as guys on this forum are making out. And if hes our main blockbuster summer sigining this year then i garuntee you all will be left feeling slightly dissapointed this time next year.

I totally agree, I don't know what's with some people. Kagawa is a great signing for us, and he would be a great addition to our team.

Some said UTD only signed J.S Park for Shirt sales??? !! SAF Picked him in a lot of BIG BIG games!!! This Kagawa Looks a good player, and at 23 there is a lot of improvement in him, playing with better players will make him better?.....He`s not here to sell shirts in Japan...thats totaly well out of order..

True, but for purely based on talent, Kagawa is leagues ahead of Park. He's one of the best players in Europe for God sakes. I do my best to ignore the ignorant comments. Maybe if he was called Kawagihno the cynics would be jumping for joy ....

I usually like your posts but I think you've got this wrong. I believe the word you are looking for is cynical. The implication that Kagawa has been signed merely to sell shirts is at least partly prompted by mistrust of the Glazier regime. I can find nothing r-a-c-i-s-t in this, right or wrong, observation!

Shirlsboy:

Unfortunately there are a number of Glazer bashers that are r-acists too, it's fair enough if you don't like them or want them out and also to criticise them, its everyone's choice but some fans are against them for r_acist reasons like that fisherman002 guy

Its easy to not like the glazers all you need to do research what they have done with the clubs money but no one is against them because they are Jewish, we all hate them because of the debt they put the club in, the money they have taken out of the club, and the fact that we dont spend in the transfer market like we used to do. The signing of kagawa is good for the club he ticks all the boxes, shirt sales and share sales in the future are added bonuses nothing wrong with that. but the main reason we have signed him is because he is a class act.

So because some people wondered if his signing was to generate revenue in asia that makes them r acist? lol you seem like a very rational guy OP.

Shirlsboy:

Actually I don't see anything rac.ist on the Kagawa comments its just cynical fans that analyse everything the club do as underhanded

Agree, those rude boys just being cynical, There is not r a c i s t comments here, same thing happened (or whatever) with chico, tha fact is the epl is transmitted more and more in mexico, the 14's United shirts goes up to the roof, there is not a r a c i s t thing mentioning that
