We do need some players who can fill our weaker positions, but that may not happen unless we sell current squad players. There is no (or limited) rumor that they leave.

We need to sell players to buy some players (money and space in squad). Owen left, but no other players seem to be gone (except for Pogda and some other young ones). If they all stay, Fergie has no choice but use them in 12/13 season.

[quote user="red-pol"]Hold it just yet. It may be too soon to give him the no.7. Kagawa is largely untested. Though he did well for Borrusa Dortmund, should caution that Ji Sung Park did the same as well for PSV eindhoven. Thought that Ji Sung Park was an excellent signing but he did little on the field. Was impressed with his endurance, ...

Well, Messi and Iniesta are different class for me. Sneider used to be good, but not any more (injury prone). Gotze said in his interview, "Shinji is the best AM in Europe". Yes, his statement is a little exaggerated, but the genius like Gotze knows the value of Shinji Kagawa. I am sure that Fergie will help him flourish more in United.

If you watched Dortmund's games in 2010/2011 season, you know that Sahin likes to play with Kagawa. They exchanged lots of passes and understood each other very well on the pitch. Also, Sahin will face less competition in his position at one of the best clubs in the world, Manchester United. Sahin may think "Well, Shinji is there and I ...

This is my personal opinion. I prefer to keep Park who has been a descent player for us. If we release Park when Kagawa comes in, people just see that "Ahh, United got Kagawa for the replacement of Park. These guys are here for Asian market." That is the damnest situation I do not want to see. They are two different players with ...

There is one thing I want to say. Kagawa has been a key player of the CHAMPION team of the Bundesliga, one of the toughest leagues in Europe (not like a mediocre French league). He is a winner and has a Champion's mentality. That is what United needs.

I watched all Dortmund games and like Kagawa's play style. But, I think it is better not to give him #7. I hope he can spare time to fit in United without the big pressure of being #7.
