Shinji Kagawa's transfer to Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund for a total of 22m (£17.m) has moved closer but the midfielder has yet to agree personal terms and sign for the club.
The Japanese midfielder is back in his homeland and it is understood that Thomas Kroth, the 23-year-old's agent, travelled there from Germany in the past few days to discuss the move.
An initial bid of 18m from United was rejected last week but Dortmund have now reportedly agreed a fee that will be worth 22m with add-ons for a player who cost them just 350,000 from the Japanese club Cerezo Osaka.
The United manager Sir Alex Ferguson watched Kagawa a fortnight ago when he scored in Dortmund's 5-2 win over Bayern Munich in the German Cup final. He scored 13 goals in 31 league games as Dortmund won the Bundesliga from Bayern by eight points and he fits the profile currently adhered to by United of a young player who could improve and not cost a premium price.
Kagawa currently earns a modest salary of between 750,000 to 1m and was offered up to 2.5m to re-sign for Dortmund. But as he is intent on playing in the Premier League it is not thought his wage demands to join United will prove a stumbling block.
But seeing that we would have to reprogram the team to play to those strengths and that we have a corps of wingers who cant cross their fingers. . .it may not be a good idea.Quote:

We need to buy a few players and bolster the squad, regardless of what happens with RVP. Maccy was right with his point that when push comes to shove, we'll sell.
RVP signing a new deal will still get the biggest cheer of the summer from me, but it's out of our hands and down to him now, so I hope we don't let what happens with him dictate our transfer activity like we did with Cesc and Nasri last year.
Fun watching all the other teams doing the biz, isn't it? It's so peaceful this time of year if you are a Gooner.
Im really fucked off by the Kagawa story, when will we get serious and stop being the butt of all the fucking jokes. . .:whisper: the one we arent meant to fucking talk about. . .
Hazard off to Chavs
Kagawa Mancs
Player we cannot even dream of affording to Citeh
Vertonghen a fucking Spud in the making
Wait whos left. . .ahh yeah we were mentioned in the same breath ad Dempsey. . .which is badically ss good as saying if anybody else wants him please go ahead and take him
When is the team I support going to up the ante and make the others say 'Fuck John, look who Arsenal just bought' and I dont mind in the same way the did when we brought in Chamakh because they were probably laughing their heads off when that happened
Llorente isnt a great player but he is noting like Gomez. Two completely different forwards.Quote:

I meant in terms of how clumsy the are vs. Tr number of goals they get. They must be doing something right to keep netting but I just think they're awkward.Quote:

you should probably watch Llorente play a few matches. He isnt clumsy at all.Quote:

If he was clumsy, he would not be in the Spain squad. Like I said before, Llorente's style is like Drogba's. Dont know if he is as good, but he is a very similar player. Gomez is a big donkey who knows how to poach goals and doesnt do much work in the build up. Gomez is a clumsy oaf, Llorente is not.
Why are we talking about Llorente, can you really see us having Podolski, Llorente and RvP....where would Walcott, Gervinho and AOC play?
It's called having a squad.Quote:

Also, apparently we where interested in M'vila, but then we heard the price tag.
Arsenal FC :rose:
Summer transfers :rose:
Some twitter people saying that Canal+ has comfirmed that we've agreed a deal for Giroud with Chamakh swapping.
That shit song would put me off too tbhQuote:

yeah, I doubt Arsenal would know how to acquire him. I just wont sit with the lazy comparison to Torres.Quote:

Haven't seen Giroud play, must be better than Chamakh though.

Seems like an Eduardo type of player.
At least he seems to get goals, rather than almost getting goals. We can train that out of him though.Quote:

found out something interesting about gervinho and hazard. when hazard and gervinho played in same team, they played roughly the same amount of games, with goals scored, gervinho had about double what hazard did and assists were 16 to hazard and 14 to gervinho
And then Gervinho joined Arsenal and the rest as they say is history.....:yikes:Quote:

I can believe the Giroud rumour, with potentially Chakma going the other way to join his son.
I'd be quite happy with Podolski and Giroud as our new attacking options. Good potential for some big man/little man pub play.
Also, this Canal rumour is just hyping up the telegraphs report from last week.

I think he'll improve but I'm not sure he'll ever reach the levels of a guaranteed starter for us.Quote:

I could be wrong....
I don't know either. He started reasonably well and then faded. He was worse after the ACoN. He certainly has room for improvement.Quote:
