Toni Kroos

We need legs, energy and quality in the midfield and from what ove seen of Kroos he would give us the quality, but not much of the other two. Would much rather have Isco or Modric out of that midfield we faced in the semi.
 
If, and it's a big if, we got Kroos I wouldn't worry about him playing in the Prem at all. I look at many players who have come from the German league and they seem to settle quickly, maybe it's the physicality - De Bruyne being the latest. He's one of those who doesn't look flashy but does an unbelievable job - think Barry with better long range passing and a quicker footballing brain. Would love him but doubt it will happen.
 
Kroos in a midfield 3 alongside gundogan and Fernandinho would be fantastic, between them they possess literally every skill and attribute needed to dominate in that area! I think with those 3 we'd be taking the absolute piss out of most teams
 
You can put me in the camp of not convinced he's made for the PL style of football. A little ponderous & ploddy with his movements, no doubt a very good passer but seems quite passive in his nature. I'd much rather someone like Fernandinho willing to bust a gut & take players out every now & then, much happier with the Gundogan acquisition also.

Also not sure why Madrid would sell him, seems to have been the mainstay of their midfield for the majority of the season & trusted under Zidane far more than Isco/James. The midfielders we're linked with currently all seem somewhat unlikely for various reasons (Pogba/Kroos/Thiago) - hoping to see a 3rd & successful push for Isco, as out of the 3 Madrid guys he'd be my choice, and seems more attainable given his lack of gametime.

Kroos is the closest player out there to yaya. Forget pogba, this guy is on a par with yaya technically and that is what we will miss most. Of course, both kroos and pogba would be nice...
