Apparently so, but I can't see him leaving Madrid.

Still think there's a game of chess being played. Personally I thought that Felix Kroos' quotes from the other day said everything that needed to be said. I don't think that Toni will stay at Madrid if Pogba goes there simply because I don't think he'll accept being paid less than Poggy.

Then again I read somewhere yesterday that Madrid are going cold on Poggy because of what Juve are asking for. If Real Madrid think you're overvaluing a player then you really have gone too far!

The money that Juve are asking for Pogba is frankly absurd. With Kroos his performances at the Euros have gone up another gear, I'd love him but surely not even Madrid are stupid enough to sell him?

It's not a thought, Modric is a level above him. And for what it's worth I think we already have our deep lying Playmaker in Gundogan

You should compare Modric with Gündogan. Kroos is a very different kind of midfielder. More like Pirlo.
Seeing Kroos dropping deep in the German side to get nearly every build up starting is to me exactly what we need at City and why I understand if Pep wants him. He was again terrific vs Poland in the role that the manager wants him to play. But you won't see Kroos doing a lot of one on one battles. He's too clever and with his vision he out thinks opponents getting the ball and get the build up going. A very important member of the German team and he could be similar when playing for us. It's just that it'll be hard to get him.

I think it was a Marca piece where they had been quoted something like €140m for the transfer and €150m for wages. They are pricing themselves out of selling him.

Pogba isn't going anywhere with those wages demands

I've got no doubt that Pep will want Kroos but it certainly will be hard to get him. I've said multiple times that I would love us to sign Kroos: is there a better passer of the ball on the European stage at this time?

They want to keep him I guess so are setting a price that's ridiculous. If I was a Juve fan I'd be very happy with that.

Its a pipe dream-he wont be wearing blue anytime soon-much like Pogba.
