The Manchester United Thread

I personally am just worried that we might be getting left behind this transfer window, hope Fergie plans to improve the squad other than just getting Kagawa, who will be a great signing if it goes through.

Imo its only May. Also the only club that have been making major moves in the market so far are Chelsea buts that more to do with the fact that we really needed to bring in quality players this summer and thus are aggressive in our approach to stave off the competition for our targets

I know, it was a prediction that I think we might be, but I will reserve judgement until United's first game.

Kagawa only needs to put pen on paper then he is done. Also seems like United are really interested in Asamoah and have already offered 12m for him which Udinese rejected. Also enquired about Benatia from Udinese.

United wont be left behind in transfers this summer.
 
£16m, 4-year contract, around £70k/£80k p/w, for Kagawa. Deal is almost complete.
 
Not steep at all, though i bet it will be lower, but with appearance bonusues

Well as he was apparently really interested I thought United could of got him signed up for like 50k a week, still a significant improvement on his contract at Dortmund.

Basic wage will be about 50-60k.

Dude Heskey is on 65k p/w ... Just because he was interested in United does not mean he would have come for such meagre wages especially after the sensational performances he has given in the Bundesliga which means interest in him has rocketed

Yeh but Heskey is 34, and 50k is not a bad wage at all. Kagawa is only 23 by the time he got to Heskey's age he would be on a massive wage anyway.

You miss the point... A lot of teams are looking at Kagawa. He is one of the best players in the Bundesliga which is a top,top league. Why would he come for 50k p/w when he is evidently deserving of so much more.

He will be on 50 to 60k, with bonuses. Standard United wages operations.

Sounds much more reasonable, 80k then bonuses on top would be huge for someone like him, at the age of 23.
 
With bonuses, how much would it amount to?

Depends, usually 60 to 70k. depends on which bonuses he gets. I suspect it will be close to 70K similar to Young.

But as is standard with most newspaper reports, its always the higher figure. For example the fee being negotiated is 16-17m including add ons. The base fee could be as low as 12m

Original poster of the contract never said anything about bonuses though!

I know, but usually when someone says a player is on 80k for example it usually is just the base wage without bonuses included.
 
Cool, Kagawa deal is as good as done, next LB and some CM please.
