Toni Kroos to join City

[manimanc]

maybe if we change our kit to lederhosen then we might change his mind slightly....

The two phrases that make my soul die a little more every time I read them in the transfer forum.
"Just been posted on Twitter"
"He's really good on FIFA (or other made up video game)"
The so-called 'digital generation' should be renamed 'the gullible generation'.
Get some sunlight and some judgement, for fuck's sake.

Why is this an issue to you personally. Its an online discussion forum and stating they're good on a soccer game does have relevance given there is an obvious correlation between the game and real life (even if there are some players that don't match this). The game ratings at the very least an opinion of a game developer whose job it is to rate and rank players.

Also while there is a joint market between game users and real life fans, just like people in the game like to buy their favourite real life players, there will be fans who want us to buy their favorite in game players.

I buy Cissokho is every manager mode in FIFA but don't have access to watching OL play so it would interest me and I'd enjoy watching him at City on this alone. Fair enough tell people theyre stupid if they think FIFA is always correct and base opinion ENTIRELY on this, however, it is still valid and especially useful for people who don't know about a player before an educated watcher comes online and shares some real life insight.

Never trust fifa Yaya is rated 85 in that game and is so shit that i dont even pick city just because of this.

If we could get him, that would be amazing. Absolute beast in the midfield. However I feel like Bayern will slap an outrageous price tag on him.

Like the Borussia Dortmund stars barring Kagawa it will be very difficult to tempt Kroos away if you go off Bayern's contempt for City and him being happy in Munich as CITD said below.

Non-starter. Loves it where he currently is and has no reason to leave.

Why have you dug this up?

I think he did it for nostalgia.

Cos I was looking at the highest assists players in the Bundesliga this year

What's your source?

Karl-Heinz has it written on a table napkin!

If they reckon they can get Dzeko for 20m, perhaps we should table a 7m bid for this guy (really fed up with Bayern slagging us off for debt - a la before our CL games - and the way we have financed our rise, only to then table ridiculously low bids for our players).

They can get away with this with German teams and German players, but not with us.
