Toni Kroos

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Alongside Fern and Gundogan i think the workrate/skill set ratio will be superb.

I've been a bit underwhelmed in terms of some of the players we've been linked with in this window, but I'd be delighted if we managed to get Kroos. His passing (and crossing) tonight has been almost faultless, long and short.

Not sure how Germany are 2 down in this by the way!

Would be a brilliant signing, and by all accounts he's open to the move. Still think it's heavily reliant on two things happening though:

1) Pogba going to Madrid
2) Finding a buyer for Toure

Why is point 2 so important? I thought he had 1 year left of his contract, and so money wise it is just 1 years salary if he stays.

because I doubt we would want to pay Toure £220k a week for rotting in the stands. We can only have 17 foreigners

You could cut that in half easily enough though by loaning him out. Inter say.

Top class player, better than I ever thought he was. Never stopped, even into the last few mins.

The Kroos love is strange. It seems everyone has turned a blind eye to his laziness on defense. I guess in a way, he'd be Yaya without the goals. Slightly better possession, slightly worse goalscoring. About the same defensive effort. Little!

Kroos is brilliant.. easily Germany's best player out there tonight. How he gets 90+% pass completion with some of the probing passes he makes ill never know.

Madrid would be stupid to let him go and he would massively improve us.

Thought he was by far the only midfielder on the pitch we should ever go near.

Matuidi was well involved for France to be fair IMO.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

Kroos is awesome

Hopefully Real saw Pogba have a hand in the second and want a high profile new signing... and don't appreciate what they already have!

He'd be Kroos doing what Kroos does best and that's why Pep wants him
