Kagawa has got to be Man U's smartest player on the pitch.... He's finally thriving in the free role he's been given, and it's all thanks to Mata always looking for him. It's amazing how two short ground passers can change the team. Also, Kagawa has really good passing abilities deep (and up top too ala BvB). He could literally be Man U's next Scholes if he plays in a 3-man midfield with two deeper midfielders. His ability to track back sucks absolute balls though. And this is what I've been saying about signing Kagawa... literally can play wide (and if willing, play the false nine), but I still truly think his natural position is the Iniesta role in the 3-man midfield. I've always felt this since his days in Germany.
IMO, Mata has a better first touch, but Kagawa's positioning and passing ability are better IMO, and each passing with the manager's trust keeps making me think he should come to Barcelona......... There's no one else more fit for the Barcelona game outside of the team except Kagawa. I'm probably overrating him LOL but too bad we're banned to transfer next year.... Also, I'm kinda biased since I've always seen Mata as a poor man's Silva since the semi-golden Valencia days.
Also I really think people underrate Fellaini... As much as he is an oaf with the ball on the ground, he's a top class physical player. He seems to win balls in the air and whatnot LOL. I think he could play a lone DM and play well, but for some reason Moyes had him play behind the striker hahahahaha
