yeah exactly Kagawa is a great example, i dont think anyone here is under illusion that Kagawa is one of the worlds greats, but he's decent, probably more than decent footballer, we need to work out why we didnt see that from him on a consistent basis, makes absolutely no sense
the only thing i can think of that would example this is what Rob Foster said when he left us;
Quote:
"It's just a bit more relaxed at Birmingham than it was at United," said Foster. "A club like United is cut-throat, win at all costs, whereas here you know you're not going to win every game but the players that we've got, we battle for 90 minutes and don't give someone a second breath. There is more pressure at United, without a doubt. Even if we drew it was the end of the world, two points dropped, regardless if we got back into it in the last minute."

maybe that would explain why players such as Schneiderlin failed to settle too, not saying he's united level but still, he played in England for something like 5+ years before he moved to us and still look like a dear caught in the headlights
