Also I wouldn't say we've heard the very last of the "class of 92 takeover" just yet either.

The real disappointment is that we've taken a top #10 and he's been criticised for not adapting to a role out of position on the wing and a weaker brand of football all because we can't have 3HUNNA throwing his toys out of the pram.

The original plan was a double bid for Lewandowski and Kagawa that got rejected.

That would've been interesting. Still think Rooney would've been shoehorned in somewhere and Kagawa would've had to adapt.

Can't say I have an exact recollection of that season, what I do remember is Rooney starting the season off in that Everton game where we were given a beating by Everton, (De Gea was out best player) totally unfit. (His own fault) then he got injured was out for a while then came right back into the team.

Edit- got injured against Fulham, huge gash in his leg was out for a month, missed a number of games. Then came back in, yes he was benched for the Fulham game and Kagawa played with RVP.

Rooney also went on to create only two fewer goals than Mata (leagues top assist maker) with 10. Kagawa had 3

Rooney was top if the chances created table within the squad, Kagawa wasn't even in the top 5.

According to Wikipedia (yh I know) Kagawa only had 3 appearances in Europe that season.

Both of them played away in Madrid neither started the home game. Can't remember if Kagawa was out injured for that.

(I hate these Rooney discussions as I like to bring balance to a debate and on here that generally means stating the case for the defence, which is bad as I can't stand him.

Kagawa isn't a winger

He isn't gonna get 15+ assists a season by beating fullbacks and whipping crosses into the box

Watch his performances at Dortmund and you'll see how much of threat he is through the middle

Now I see why you stick to the political side of the game

William Carvalho could be next...

[Haze-e]

Wouldn't mind either Carvalho or De Jong. Just please no Khedira.

C/S Khedira

Never liked him

If the Greece national team were ever a player

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Rah article says Milan have even offered us De Kong wonder if Van Gaal even knows who De Jong is though

[The Infamous]

Khedira is 10 times better than de jong tho

[Mame Biram Diouf]

De Jong holding player, destroyer

Khedira Box to box

We don't need Khedira and could pay 10/15 more and get Vidal/Pogba

[YFSD]

Cba

[Haze-e]

Khedira is 10 times better than de jong tho

De Jong has that little bit of crazy I want. Khedira is hella dry. Consistent 6/10 player. Rich man's Gareth Barry.

[The Infamous]

Better with the ball and more dynamic

Khedira getting disrespected here

Such a shame that there's been no value in the market all these years, smh

RIf we are going to sign a box to box like I said I'd rather us spend extra on a Pogba or Vidal, if not I'd rather wait till Jan and move for Strootman

If we are going to sign a holding player, someone to add steel to our midfield and allow our players in front to have more freedom, then I'd sign De Jong over Khedira

Not doubting Khedira ability it's a value and system thing

I wasn't saying he is or should be playing on the wing. Also again I agree. I was addressing the comment that Rooney was "bench fodder" when in reality he was dropped in order to regain fitness. It's Fergie who needed to be told of Kagawa position. He's the one who played him out there.

Read the post, is there anything you actually find factually incorrect? Keep in mind never have I said Rooney is better in the number 10 position than Shinji, or that Shinji should play out wide.

When I talk about adapting I mean, he came from Dortmund where he was a key player, now at United he had to make the most of every single opportunity he's unfortunately not gonna be given the chance to build a consistent run due to the competition in that area of the pitch.

However you have again summed up why "footballing" discussions on here fall flat more often than not.
