Yes getting rid of your best defensive player for one who isn't as good at defending and will cost more in wages does seem bizarre to say the least, then again Real often do make some strange player recruitment/ retention decisions so it is possible.He should be our no.1 target. Can't see Madrid being stupid enough to let him go though

I'd say Casemiro and Modric were better defensively. Kroos has more of the quarterback skills of Yaya at his best (ignoring the bullocking runs). Metronomic dictation of play, fantastic awareness and a brilliant passing range

Casemiro is a huge reason they managed to turn their season around...

is it still just the star reporting this??
I'd absolutely love for there to be some truth in this but I'm refusing to get excited!

A very good player, no doubt, but personally not the marquee signing I had hoped for with Pep's arrival. Excellent passer, but for me, not as complete a player as Yaya was in his prime. Obviously FFP and the need to revamp so many positions is the chief reason.

He's a different type of player than Yaya. They're not even similar at all. Yaya at his prime is a very unique player. Can't think of a good comparison with Yaya. The closest I can think of is prime and stronger Pogba. Kroos plays more with his brain that his physique.A very good player, no doubt, but personally not the marquee signing I had hoped for with Pep's arrival.
