If he did start out wide, that's what would obviously happen. You'll never see him bursting to the line putting crosses in.

I believe that will be the case in most situations, with Kagawa playing the role he does for Japan which is floating out left and coming inside.
Kagawa has stated his preference for playing behind the striker and I think he will get some play time there but more often than not I don't think it will be the case.
I could be proved wrong but I can't see it happening all that often.
But yes, Kagawa is pretty good. Before the whole Van Persie thing I would however had said Rooney would be up top and Kagawa in behind.
I can't see him played as a CM in a 4-4-2 though.
I think he'll have the 'number 10' role as he usually does, yeah.
Yep, he seems to be the real deal. He was impressive against Barcelona and Hannover, and his record in the German league is very good. I'm expecting excellent things from him this season, he seems to have settled well.
He reminds me a lot of Iniesta, just obviously not quite as good... yet.
Really? After spending £24m on him and paying him £200k per week, I can't see him not starting.

I presume he's talking about for the Everton game.
It's quite obvious I was talking about the Everton game.
Yep, and the £200k per week thing is pure guesswork.
Was it?
I thought everybody was posting their general starting 11 and you were referring to that.

The tweet that Nev posted was a line up for the game against Everton, I then referred to that saying he was near enough spot on apart from the following.
I can't see how it isn't obvious that I was referring to the line up Neville tweeted for the game on Monday.
This is also after Shami, Robbo & Stewy talking about it too...
I don't pay any attention to what those 3 say or Gary Neville
No but I thought you'd at least follow the thread before not understanding what I was talking about
De Gea
Rafael...Vidic...Rio...Evra
............Carrick
......Kagawa...Valencia
.............Rooney.....
...Van Persie...Hernandez...Welbeck
I see you snuck on an extra player...
Actually fairly impressed with the strength of our squad when you write it all down;
Team 1:
------------De Gea------------
Rafael---Vidic---Ferdinand---Evra
Valencia--Carrick--Scholes--Kagawa
------------Rooney
-------------RVP
Team 2:
------------Lindegaard------------
Jones---Smalling---Evans---Fabio*
Nani---Cleverley---Anderson---Young
--------Welbeck--Hernandez--------
And that's still with Fletcher, Giggs & Berbatov to spare

Didn't Fabio go on loan? We still need a backup there.
Yeah hence the * next to his name
Anyone know what exactly happened with Fryers? Did he sign for Spurs in the end or is he still in limbo?
I think he signed for Spurs
Either way his contract at Utd expired
------De Gea ------
Raf --- Evans ---Vidic ---Evra
