Default Todays Press Conference

Quote:
Sir Alex Ferguson says there could be one or two more players following Shinji Kagawa and Nick Powell into Manchester United this summer.
Speaking at an Old Trafford press conference to unveil the pair of new signings so far, the United manager admitted: "We could possibly bring one or two more in. When there's a major international tournament on, there's a delay in the transfer market. But now the European Championships are over, we're trying to bring one more player in.
"We've always done well in terms of getting players at the end of season, instead of waiting all summer. In Kagawa's case, there was a fair bit of negotiating and that kept going for weeks. As for Powell, we knew Dario Gradi [Crewe Alexandra director of football] would help us do the deal quickly."
Sir Alex discussed Powell's best position with Gradi, having seen him operate mainly as a deep-lying forward for Crewe. "I asked Dario if Nick could be a central midfielder. Dario thinks that's his position and Nick does too so we're all in accord. We hope he'll be a central midfield player and that's where we'll develop."
As for Kagawa's role, the boss said: "He'll play further forward [than Powell]. We shouldn't be looking at one player changing the way we play but he could make a difference. He can give us that extra in the final third of the field. If his goalscoring record continues he could be a very good player for us."
Kagawa was Borussia Dortmund's second highest scorer last season, and after acclimatising himself to European football with two successful campaigns in Germany, the Japanese international is poised to pick up the English game very quickly.

he didn't even play there last season apparently. Not even kicked a ball yet and saf already decides he's playing in a new position.

dario told us he could play in midfield when we asked during negotiations

as if he was going to talk down his sale ffs.

At least the Kagawa comments leave a bit of hope he's not been signed as a left winger.

tbf I've spoken to dario gradi and he knows his onions.

i'm excited by the new cleverley/powell/kagawa axis, and I suggest you adopt the same outlook and enjoy the rest of your summer.

DoG, aka the BIG DoG is a renowned international wum. He even tricked some hipsters into naming their band after him.

I don't join in on the Cleverley bullying but if that @#%&! doesn't play 30+ games this season I am chopping his legs off.
