June 5, 201214 yr Signed for football reasons or for financial reasons (tapping into the Japanese fanbase?)probably both, they won't admit to the latter but it's got to have some major benefits on the growing popularity of Utd over there. Let's face it as well if he's half the player Park has been over the years he'll be a steal!
June 5, 201214 yr I've seen a few more opinions from journalists and bloggers about United buying him to sell shirts in Japan as Kagawa's already very popular there from only playing in the Bundesliga. I'm sure that only makes him more attractive, but it's really a null point (Which is why David's right in there straight off the bat), if they're going to spend up to 17m on a player, they must at least feel he's good enough to play in the first team for a title challenging squad. If they don't keep him in the first team regularly, his popularity diminishes over there anyway.
June 6, 201214 yr we got this market sorted.... v http://www.mcfc.co.uk/citytv/Features/2012/June/It's-a-corner
June 8, 201214 yr I always had the royal family down as being supporters of the champions of Europe :P
June 9, 201214 yr It's only been since 1972 you won the community shield Why do I get a feeling that Man City will put out a fully strong team and treat it like a meaningful game (where Chelsea will put out their b-team and treat it like a pre-season friendly)
June 13, 201214 yr Rednapp leaves Spurs.... WTF! That's some seriously weird shit going on at White Hart Lane!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18436663
June 13, 201214 yr charity sheild in 9 weeks.... Do you actually enjoy being completely irrelevant. Rednapp leaves Spurs.... WTF! That's some seriously weird shit going on at White Hart Lane!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18436663 Wow, that is absolutely shocking. I can really see a bit of an exodus, they'll definitely lose at least a few star players, Spurs wasn't near the Champions League when Harry took charge. I'd love to see David Moyes being given a chance, if he signs up I think smart players will realise it's a good idea to stay, but I think he'll be impressive nomatter what. Would he leave Everton though? It's hard to see it, they had a great finish last season but without spending it's difficult to see how they can dramatically build on it, and he's still getting no funds.
June 13, 201214 yr http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18156868 Completely missed this but have a read of Montpellier's march to the Ligue 1 title in France, (who's top goal scorer Oliver Giroud is moving to Arsenal this summer, announced today). Makes Man City's "achievement" of winning the Premier League laughable in comparison.

June 14, 201214 yr I just don't understand- all you post in here is Man City shit, you know by now that nobody cares to actually watch or read any of it, why don't you just go to the Man City forum and post all this crap there? Are you even less respected there? It's not really possible.
June 15, 201214 yr Did you not see this? I just don't understand- all you post in here is Man City shit, you know by now that nobody cares to actually watch or read any of it, why don't you just go to the Man City forum and post all this crap there? Are you even less respected there? It's not really possible. You just post in here to try and rub your wealth or "success" in peoples faces, it's pathetic. You know nobody wants to see it, it's pure trolling.

We could always lend him to spurs though ! I am sure the Arsenal fans will even love us more then ! Oh god, I know all football fans are fickle but you take it to another level. About 10 days ago you were happy to see your club pay 20, 30, 40million pound for a player, he has 3 bad matches at a top international tournament surrounded by other players who also had a bad tournament and suddenly you change your tune.
