Yeah, you've got a nice daddy, we've been adopted by a step-uncle who's stealing our inheritance while molesting us.

So I didn't expect any signings...
 
Defense splitting, amazing. Apparently he's having trouble obtaining a work visa/permit, but Arsenal had the same problem with one of their players and they resolved it so it should be sorted out.

He shouldn't have a problem considering he's an established international.

WORK PERMIT COULD SCUPPER KAGAWA'S OLD TRAFFORD MOVE

Shinji Kagawa’s dream move to Manchester United could be derailed by a potential work permit issue, the Sweeper understands.

The Premier League giants tabled a £13.6 million bid for the Japan international last week but a swift conclusion to the transfer has not been forthcoming. Despite being an integral part of the Borussia Dortmund side which recently claimed back-to-back Bundesliga titles, the 23-year-old has featured infrequently for his country.

Kagawa was not included in Japan’s squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and has played in less than 75 per cent – the mark required to gain a work permit - of Fifa affiliated matches in the last three years for the Blue Samurai.

Japan have three upcoming fixtures, but even if Kagawa, who has scored 10 goals in 30 appearances for his country, was to feature in all of them he would still fall short of the required mark, meaning an initial application for a work permit in England would most likely be rebuffed and go to appeal.

Last season Arsenal’s pursuit of Kagawa’s fellow Japan international Ryo Miyaichi hit a similar snag, before he was granted permission to play in the Premier League on grounds of “exceptional talent”

The report is from goal.com so its credibility is always questionable. That said if this is the case i'm sure Kagawa will also be seen as an exceptional talent and therefore be granted a work permit.....it may explain one of the reasons the move has been slow in completing though.

He's definitely an exceptional talent so shouldn't be a problem.
 
...Not quite established at international level !!!

Not so sure if he could live up to expectations in the EPL.

Just how many Japs have set the EPL alight ?
