Toni Kroos

To be fair I loved Yaya and all his effort less Ness. So I'd love Kroos too. Just don't think lots of our fans will after about 2 months when the honeymoon is over.You failed to miss out the part where he's seven years older and would now struggle to get a full 90 mins out of him in the Prem
Hard to say it because he's been a true legend in our rise but all good things come to an end.....

Kroos was comfortably Germany's best player in this tournament. Pogba probably 5th/6th so far for France
With Kroos you know he's going to come in dictate the game, majority of play will come through him and he will allow you to adhere to your gameplan. Whilst popping up with moments of quality.
With Pogba you don't know what you are going to get ranging from sublime to just awful. This tournament has highlighted how inconsistent he is and I for one wouldnt be fuused if he ended up playing for that lot.

I think YaYa
YaYa or should I say a motivated YaYa would be a world class defensive mid. Passing and vision right up there with the best in the world strong and aggressive however I'm not sure he's got it in him anymore hope I'm wrongBut he has been overweight & overworked. We have not seen Yaya, trim, & hanging back in space knocking the ball around like Kroos does.
Souness said two seasons ago that we needed to do this with Yaya as he is not going to be able to continue as he was.

You need to let go, unfortunately the truth is Yaya is in decline and Kroos is in his pomp.But he has been overweight & overworked. We have not seen Yaya, trim, & hanging back in space knocking the ball around like Kroos does.

I would like nothing more than to have a Yaya in his pomp working under Pep but it's not going to happen, the same with Zaba

I recon Juve got quite a few years out of Pirlo past his 'pomp' & imo he was also way better than Kroos.

I beg to differ, he never hides and always makes himself available for the ball, his link up play with Silva/KDB/Aguero/Gudogan to name a few would be the best football you'd ever seen in City shirts, I have no doubt in saying that.To be fair I loved Yaya and all his effort less Ness.

Same thing imo. Kroos will need looking after, same as Pirlo, Yaya.
Otherwise this league would eat him, like it did Yaya.

Ahh, come on now... I think there's more overlap between Kroos & Yaya than most here would admit (on either side of the argument), but I think we're getting carried away if we start attributing "always makes himself available for the ball" as one of Yaya's strong suits.
EDIT: original comment left intact, but let me be perfectly clear that I completely misunderstood your post, and I'm an assface for posting in haste.
