Toni Kroos

I think he's the dream for all of us Blues. Just imagine...

Hart, Sagna, Bonucci, Stones, Clichy, Gundogan, Kroos, Fernandinho, KDB, Sane, Aguero

Not all of us. Don't want Bonnuci either. Give me Sane, Stones, Gabriel and Isco instead.

Any chance of Isco is dead in the water. I'd want Bonucci to, more than anything, to help Stones fulfil his potential and to ensure a great start under Pep's reign. He's one of the best in the world and his ability to find players from range is an invaluable asset. A partnership of Bonucci + Stones would be the best in the league without doubt.

Kroos is world class. Right now, I'm only happy with 2 CM's in our entire squad which just doesn't feel right under Pep. I love Dinho and Gundogan has been one of my favourite players for years but we need another CM. Yaya doesn't have the work rate and Fernando is too limited.

Nasri, Silva, DeBryune? I see 5 stars already at CM. I'm not worried. And if we were to get another one, I'd want one more like Thiago than Kroos.

Isco is more like Thiago.

I don't think any of the three can play that deep or at least as well as an actual CM. KDB lacks the physicality and Silva and Nasri don't have the work rate or tactical discipline to thrive in such a role.

Thiago would also be great but Kroos just seems a cut above him though we'd benefit from Thiago's playing style.
 
It astounds me people keep leaving Spanish Dave out of a starting 11, the last 2 seasons we have not had a manager and he seems to be written off, but is 1st choice for Spain, I can't wait to see what Pep does with him.

It is amazing. Sane starting over Silva and even Sterling is madness.

Don't worry - the bossman knows the score.

Shiny new toy syndrome is rife amongst our support base unfortunately.
 
Pep will wait to have his own look at Otamendi, Mangala and Denayer before deciding if he needs one or two central defenders. And my guess is that he will look at the build up quality, not so much the defensive side of the players.

If it lacks too much for him to improve this, he will get one or two CBs in. Explaining the waiting for either Stones or Bonucci.

If he can't get either or just one he will turn to Kroos. Unless there is another reason i.e. the ser up to let Real in for Pogba.
Kroos is the absolute perfect player to give the assist to the assist. That and the quality he has to take over build up play from the back line is why he is needed.
 
If I was him, I'd be thinking 'this could be the Last Samurai can make a big money transfer', given he's no spring chicken
 
I know they play different positions in midfield, but if the news about Rakitić is true, i'd prefer him over Kroos. I know lots of people on here are googoo over Kroos, but something about his attitude/persona just irks me the wrong way. Both are fantastic players.

I don't disagree but it's clear Kroos is heavily admired and trusted by Pep, which is perhaps the most important quality a signing could have.

May not be so realistic this one, but it's worth a shot?
