And thats what you don't want and we don't want the managerial situation vacant at Liverpool to drag on either.

Maybe the scousers will have him back?

As long as he's nowhere near a black and white shirt he can go wherever he wants.

He chance to retire and play with his horses instead.

Maybe because he was one of the worst players on the pitch that night!

Feel sorry for him. Promising career ruined by injuries. You do now have an impression that his focus and motivation has gone however.

A true hero but would never describe himself as one.

It does seem strange when the millionaires like Keane and Neville have had theirs and even donated the cash.to charity while he had to wait, perhaps he wasn't there long enough to qualify under normal circumstances.

Jack Wilshere to undergo minor knee procedure.

well from yesterday at least 2 of the comments could be true. M'Vilas, fee agreed between clubs and Kagawa, "You have to ask Arsene Wenger [about Kagawa's future" that quotes from a German source translating from this...

Kagawa is a weird rumour. It doesn't make much sense to me. Where would he play? Do we really need yet more attacking minded midfielders? How many do we have? Walcott, Chamberlain then Podoski is widely expected to play on the left of the front three, we have Wilshere, Ramsey and Song who all like to push forward, Arterta plays just behind them, we'll already need to find space to get M'Vila (if we get him) and Miyaichi has to come back from Bolton.

thenry · 17-05-2012, 13:20

attacking players that will hopefully leave Arsenal: Arshavin, Benayoun, Diaby, Vela, Park, Denilson, Bendtner, Chamakh

I know theres strikers in there as well as a holder if you like but still, theres a lot of names that should be leaving which will make room for players like Kagawa.

Anyway I don't know what the big fuss is about. if we are to fight on all fronts then we need numbers, and those numbers have to be quality or we'll fall short yet again.

Both wages and ensuring players are happy as squad players is a problem. I am happy to have depth but there is an element of realism to consider. I hope we do get rid of the players you mentioned but I suspect some of them will be staying. The rumours suggest Bendtner would be part of the deal with Dortmund. Excellent business if true.

thenry · 17-05-2012, 13:34

for both parties yes when you consider Kagawas in the last year of his contract is he not?

wages would be freed up by outgoing and as for players being happy, well theres 4 major comps. again if we are to fight on all fronts we'll need numbers.

We'll see. I hope it happens but experience has left me wary of transfer rumours. It would well be a ploy to force United's hand.
