Ed can u set up a poll please for,
If 1 of these players leave us at the end if the season who would u prefer?
Adnan or Kagawa {Ed007's Note - I'll get that sorted out just now Chris.}

Thanks ed

I'll bet 90% would prefer Adnan to stay.

How about Rooney or Kagawa then? Januzaj is going to be amazing and being home grown of course he'll get most of the vote.

I'd prefer Both to stay if i'm Honest. Sween current results would be say other wise

Jrobbm - 84% is pretty close to 90% mate. Give me the 6% haha.

Oh ok Sween I guess I can stretch that far XD lol

It's horrible knowing how good Kagawa can be and how he's struggling to demonstrate it at the moment. If he goes to any other club he'll look amazing and everyone would be saying how they'd want him back. I don't want either Adnan or Shinji to leave. How about maybe Anderson, Valencia and Young to start with?

Draxler has come out and said he'd sign for us, let's not pussyfoot around this, let's go out and get our man

Agree!

I'm guessing you missed the other half a dozen teams he said he wouldn't mind joining, you know Barca, Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal etc.

Pointless letting the truth get in the way of a good story though hey anon.

Bayern, Barca, Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea.

Spot the small club.

I know its not been a great start to you're season Gagus but UTD are still a big club

We could be relegated to League 2 and we'd still be the biggest club in England.

Touché Gunner62, that type of banter deserves a trophy. First you'll have won for a while eh?

(No, champs league spot does not count ;)

He wants a move to a-:)a giant club, guess we can rule chelsea out then marcellus {Ed002's Note - I would not be so quick to do that.}

Any attacking midfielder thinking about going to Chelsea needs to have their head examined! Especially a young one who wants guaranteed games, if he goes there then he is just money hungry and we would be better off without him.

With Hazard, Oscar and Mata. Moses who Chelski had to ship away so he could play, Schurrle, Marin out on loan? De Bruyne. I'd find it hard to believe he'd be tempted by Chleski unless he's after the money.

Arsenal have spent about 3 years worth of transfer money on one player so I doubt they'll compete for his signature.

I see him moving to Barca as a long term replacement for Iniesta seeing as Thiago's gone and Fabregas will slowly take Xavi's place in the team.

Fair play dodgy B
Good spirited banter is what makes Britain brilliant.

@Sydney!

The Ozil news that is coming out is not new. As reported we were offered Ozil IN MID AUGUST and turned down the chance to sign him. Where would we have played him when we have Rooney, Kagawa for the exact same position? It made no sense to spend that much on a player we didn't need. Having to accommodate him may well have meant playing Rooney out of position which seems is what he was not too pleased about last season.

Also imo, if we had signed Ozil it would have severely limited the gametime Adnan Januzaj would have got if we had decided to play Ozil out on the wing. What is the point of buying someone upwards of 40mil and then playing them out of position? And in hindsight we will look at this as a correct move by Moyes.

Ozil would have made sense had we sold Rooney. Signing Ozil would have added another player to a position in which we already have 3 players. Also the type of midfielder he is, he would not have addressed the core problem of our midfield and our midfield problems would have persisted. We need someone who can dictate the pace of the game and connect Carrick to the attack of Rooney and RVP, all the while also being a good ball winner. Fabregas/Herrera/Khedira would have been perfect for this role, which is what Moyes went for.

Moyes is trying to address the core issues of the team imo, all the rumors coming out of Young and Valencia leaving, Rio retiring to be replaced by a center back, the likes of Herrera/ Coentrao being looked at, will address the real issues with our team.

Fact remains that had the equalizer got the Fabregas/Herrera and Baines/Coentrao deals done for Moyes we would look a much better and balanced outfit than we would have with Ozil.

Whilst I kinda agree with this post we are Manchester United and should always buy players like ozil if and when they are available, how many of these types of players do barca, chelsea, bayern, Madrid and city have? Loads is the answer and we should have signed him and also the 2 others we require ( that you mentioned)

Roonbest but where would you have played him. It only makes sense if Rooney had gone smand we didn't have the offers.
