So disheartening losing that game.

[Fresh]

[JOHN DOE]

[Anderson]

Welbeck>>>

He is like the opposite of chicha...SICK outside the box, makes us play better. Chicha just sick inside the box, makes us play worse.

But when he gets that ruthlessness its over.

Swear Lahi said he should be playing for Hereford United by now?

Looks like Andreas Pereira's registration has finally gone through cause he was in the starting lineup for the abandoned academy game on wednesday. Think the next game is on the weekend so hopefully he starts.

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that Shinji Kagawa has told them he will not sign a new contract, whilst they ruled out the sale of Robert Lewandowski.

23-year-old Kagawa has emerged as one of the top midfielders in the Bundesliga with Dortmund, but his current deal expires next year.

Dortmund have offered him a new four-year deal, but after growing tired of waiting for an answer they told him they wanted a decision by next week.

Now Kagawa, strongly linked with a move to England and particularly Manchester United, has told them that he will not be signing.

Sporting director Michael Zorc confirmed the news to Sky Deutschland.

"As of today he is not willing to extend his contract," Zorc admitted.

"I spoke to Shinji and his advisor last week and he is not willing to extend his contract with Borussia Dortmund.

"We have a Plan A and B and we will follow one of them.

"We won't gamble, but he has a specific career plan and he plans to play in England.

"We have to accept that, even if we don't find it good.

"While there is no economic need to sell him, he has a certain market value so we have to follow this with an economic sense.

"We will continue to have dialogue, but if another club expresses an interest then we will listen."

Recent days have seen leading striker Lewandowski also linked with a number of leading English clubs.

But Zorc was quick to insist that he would not be allowed to leave.

"Robert will definitely stay with us, he is a complete striker and we need him," he said.

Lewandowski is in talks over a new deal, with his current contract running to 2014 - but reports in German claim that Borussia's first offer has been rejected.

[i5_PRODUCER]

Apparently were in for sigurdsson aswell

its either one or the other tho , i prefer shinji

[Anderson]

Surely were not getting Kagawa and Hazard?

Not been gassed like this over our transfers for a while.

The public declaration of interest in hazard makes me think we cant afford him, so were just tryna bump up the price for others who are looking to buy him.

[i5_PRODUCER]

LOL dem transfer tactics der

[mark_INIESTA_davies]

LOL dem conspiracy theorist tactics der

[Kompressor]

The Hazard mine field is one I'm Not sure we have the stomach/financial clout to negotiate, if Kagawa comes in, I still expect another midfielder, and possibly a left back especially if Fabio goes out on loan, Could sign a curveball tho i.e a Striker
