Alternative, non-racist version:

You are my Shinji,
Signed cos we're stingy,
You make me happy,
Cos you're not gay,
Not like that Hazard,
That Belgian bastard,
Whom now by Cole,
Will get bummed all day

What about:

Roman with Eden
Was quite misleading
Cause they will roast
His missus all day
 
The sexist version....

You are my Shinji,
Ain't got a minge, eh?,
You make me happy,
Cos you're a guy,
Not like that Hazard,
That Belgian bastard,
Your wife is at home,
Baking a pie

Good story about his season. It seems that his second half of the season was much better.

Also, couple of interesting stats... The fact that he has only 35 passes per game is worrying? Still, he created amazing 4,32 chances per game!

Not at all, we have discussed this before.

Dortmund are a very counter attacking team, who attack end to end with pace. there attacks probably only have 8 passes on average between them!.

The lad is a fantastic player, there really is no worries at all IMO
 
Tune of Land down under -

Here comes Shinji Kagawa!
A warning for all Defenders!
He Shinji, Shinji Kagawa!
You better run, you better take cover!
 
I like this deal a lot. It's a safe investment without putting a huge pressure on player by some absurdic transfer price. It also creates financial room for further signings.

No one can predict how much, he'll improve us in Premiership and Europe but what's really important, it may be a promising start of upgrading the midfield formation.
 
Best bit from that article...

"Kagawa has never hid his desire to play in England and the popularity of English Football in the Far East, especially Manchester United, has been a big factor in his decision. A childhood United fan, he has stated it would be a dream to play for the Manchester giants. The odds are, he’ll be playing at Old Trafford next season."
 
I am worried about his upper body strength to be honest.

Will he be able to lift all those trophies next season?
 
Kagawa and Hernandez could be a fecking beautiful partnership.

I don't think that'll be an issue, our personal trainers seem to be great at beefing players up. Look at footage of Hernandez for Mexico in the 2010 World Cup compared to a few months later for us, he packed on the muscle.

EDIT: ah white text :smirk:
 

This is getting me really excited! Could really kick up our counterattacks a gear higher!:drool::drool:
 
Not many I think. Arsenal were in I think. Chelsea, City, Real, Barca don't need him. I don't think Italy showed any interest plus he is a boyhood United fan and he wanted to play for us (of course that could mean squat nowadays!)
 

Should have had so many more assists. Rooney, Hernandez and Welbeck are going to be like fatties at a buffet feeding on those passes! :devil:

The reports about Arsenal being involved were nonsense. We were the only ones in for him.

Don't forget Arsenal played Dortmund in Europe this season. No doubt they noticed his talent but I feel Shinji solely had eyes for us. Can't wait for us to wrap this deal up now. Kagawa is class. Having him in our midfield will make it so much better.

So who else was after this lad? I know youtube is not the best way to evaluate talent, but that's all I've got and from that I think he looks fantastic! Surely if he's that good a few big clubs should be in for him?

Chelsea have Mata and now Hazard; City have Silva and Nasri; Real Madrid have Özil and Kaká; Barcelona have... I won't list all their creative attacking midfielders if you don't mind.

He would have been a great signing for Milan, Inter (if they can be considered a big club) or even Juventus but his heart is set on moving to the Premier League and I'm pretty sure they know that.

Which leaves us, basically. Like with De Gea: no other top club was after him because the top clubs have settled, quality first choice keepers. That doesn't mean that De Gea isn't a brilliant talent.

I don't think he's tall enough for basketball.
 
I'm hearing that he has won Bundesliga Player of the Year but can't find any real source confirming it.
