With all these outgoings, we surely must be bringing in some more players tomorrow?

I am a little gutted about Kagawa. The truth is though, his fate was decided the day we signed RVP.

Spot on.

I'm hoping we may bring in one or two more but I don't necessarily think the outgoing players mean we will. I mean, we signed 5 players this window and have only offloaded a little bit of the deadwood. Fingers crossed for another CB.

I'm also disappointed to see Kagawa leave. Wonderful little player that the club could never utilize correctly. And as you said, once RVP was signed his opportunities were limited. Add Mata to the mix and he never had much of a chance. Hope he can rediscover himself again at Dortmund.

I bet he has a blinder with Dortmund this season.

So SAF signed them in the same transfer window and Kagawa's fate was sealed then. Your wrong.

Carloto, his fate was sealed. Kagawa was bought to play as the number 10 behind Rooney. Once RVP was signed, Rooney became the number 10, and Kagawa was shoved out to the left, which led to poor performances and a loss of confidence - which led to his departure after two years at the club. So no, I don't believe I was wrong.

I'd say his fate was sealed when Moyes gave Rooney a fat new contract and then signed Mata. If SAF had remained in charge for an extra year things could have been very different for Shinji.

I agree with Danny. SAF retiring was really what sealed his fate. Shinji needed to break through in his second season yet never got a decent chance under Moyes.

While I'm in no doubt United are still looking at getting more players in I think a lot of people are forgetting we can afford to have a smaller squad this year. Just because we are clearing x amount out does it mean we need the same amount in.

Until next year we only playing roughly 4 games a month then if we are lucky a few extra games with the FA cup next year. So as long as they are looking for the right few, let them save as much as possible on clearing the dead wood.
