Toni Kroos

[Ric]

are we actually in for him now ric?

I'm sure if Real are willing to sell we'd be in like a shot.

Ric you have any idea what with our transfers? Its looks like Sane could stay at schalke.. ?

 

[Lancet Fluke]

If we can get Kroos great. Add to Gundogan & De Bruyne in the centre.

Just feel the signing of Kante would give our defensive centre a needed discipline. Particularly if Fernandinho is going to right back as rumoured.

Genuine question is fernandinho playing at right back a rumour that pep is going down this route or just a theory that he might have the attributes to fill that role in a pep team?

Interesting. I just assumed it was people looking at players and doing the usual "Pep could do this or do that" didn't realise there was any substance to it.

Think Kroos camp have got wind of Pogba talk to real Madrid so they are putting feelers out . If Pogba does indeed go to real Madrid I'm sure Kroos would like to know his stance then what ever he hears back will decide his future

[burning blue soul]

So there's a loose Kroos aboot this hoose is there?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Definitely up for grabs if Madrid secure Pogba.

Probably £50m though.

Yup, would be interesting to see how it would work, maybe only when playing with a three.

He certainly has all the attributes to play there.

Nothing much surprises me but people questioning whether we should sign this guy does go close :-)

I think Kroos is probably the best passer of a ball that we could try and sign at this point. If we can do a deal for him, we should: he would unquestionably strengthen our squad and is the sort of player that you build around. Signing him would not lead to us scoring less goals.

He's still a little slower than I would prefer, but position is everything. He doesn't give us the legs we need, but he provides the Yaya control.

City have tried to distance themselves but that would be understandable if it was somehow about playing the long game, knowing Pogba's true intentions?

very possible tolm yeah. it seems poggy wants Madrid though and I do think kroos is a pep type player. anything on auba mate?

Maybe they thought he was not attainable but the situation is changing?

Pep is a big admirer, that is common knowledge so I find it hard to imagine that he would not want him. £50m would not be unreasonable: as I keep saying, probably the best passer of a ball around; now that Xavi is on his last legs...

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

We've seen how potent he was in Europe on that right-side.

Missing out on the Copa America this summer won't do his engine or his ability to play it any harm.

My only concern is we seem to getting smaller in size and could be exposed on both back sticks?

 

[adrianr]

I know Gundogan has signed so we're bored of him already, but the man is the definition of midfield control. His vision and ability on the ball are every bit as good as Kroos IMO. Not saying we shouldn't get Kroos in there as well but we've already easily replaced the brain part of Yaya and then some as far as I'm concerned.

Cheers mate...If thats the case, this one might run on most of the summer. Any deal Real do for Pogba is going to take a while...
