      Manchester United Midfielder Wanted In Turkey, But What Would They Be Getting? Player Report

      According to the Manchester Evening News, Turkish side Besiktas are after the services of Shinji Kagawa. Now, before I give you my verdict on the situation, here is my brief report on the midfielder.

      Type Of Player

      Kagawa is a little creative player who thrives in the central role. He has the technique, the awareness and the ambition  to open up defences though he has not really had the chance to do so at Old Trafford.

      History

      The Japan international made his name whilst on the books of Borussia Dortmund. It was there that he tore defences apart and was the main man behind the strikers having been given a free role in the hole.

      Last season he was used sparingly by Sir Alex Ferguson but he made a success of it. In the 20 league appearances Kagawa made 19 key passes and scored six goals, but that soon stopped when Moyes came into the club.

      This Season

      He has played just nine league games this time round and has been forced into a wider area of the pitch and he is yet to score a goal or claim an assist.

      Verdict

      For me, I would get rid purely because it doesn't seem he's wanted at the club. Besiktas would be getting one hell of a player, though.

      Quite simple put moyes is not good enough.........two players and how much? Rooney in another ? kagawa is the only player at united that can make the whole team tick. Period. januac is not that great.......potential yes....but he does not make a team play..................and not good enough yet to carry a team. a little selfish yes........that is often a requisite of getting noticed....and with a great deal of luck...carrying it off effectively The mid field is just appalling.......old fashioned English style.............Cleverly is maybe hard working but?........too many players out of position and ego carrying

      If Kagawa goes.....it is showing that mediocrity is back at United and that will not win anything......as shown by the team results this year. Everytime Kagawa has gone in middle......look atthe spark in the team....which other teams cannot catch up with........

      I shall watch Bayern from now on................real soccer and a real manager
