Toni Kroos

[MeatHunterrr]

Shame, think Kroos would have been ideal for that 8 position. We have little depth there as it stands + Silva is 31 in Jan which means we have to manage him more carefully.

Think we also need young quality holding midfielder, Weigl would be ideal. Fernandinho is excellent, but he is 32 next May and Fernando is just not good enough.

Agree we need somebody like Weigl in the pivot, with Garcia as cover as well.
If not Kroos as an 8, it could be Mahmoud Dahoud who we have been linked to, while no Kroos at the moment, he is younger and can rotate with KDB, Silva and Gundogon

According to sky sports pep wants Kroos,
its defenders we need not more midfielders.

If the midfield functions correctly the defensive unit will not have as much pressure on it, it'll also help not having an invisible keeper.

When have sky sports ever been right. Just speculation by them IMO. It will keep the masses happy while we conclude the players we need for now.

World class player, but not the type of midfielder we need.

I respectfully disagree with the second part of your statement. Kroos is a player any team needs. I don't think we will get him though.

Perfect player for what Pep wants to implement.

He's not the sort of midfielder we need. If he played in the pivot role, we could potentially have a kroos, silva and de bruyne midfield. Nowhere near good enough defensively.

Kroos in the holding role would be ideal would just top off our summer signings with him and Sanchez on board we would defenitly go close to winning the champs lge if keeping Vinny fit.
