Toni Kroos

[Le Havre Oswald]

Kroos is class. Would have him over pog personally.

 

[OB1]

They have to buy one more mate. I suspect they already know who it is.

I suspect that you are correct.

Personally I think some of the stuff written about kroos is insane.

We're buying (trying) all things considered (age,, success, ability) the world's best passing midfielder for the world's best possession manager.

Is that not something to get excited about?

No because any enquiries for the best players at the biggest clubs would get nowhere. Utd spent last Summer chasing Ramos and he was in open dispute with his club. There isn't even a chink of light, so the intrigue is waste of time.

But did they ??

The lemmings would obviously bite at such stories but is there any evidence to support the claim ?

I have my doubts

Well they had the money. They spent loads.

These days we seem to go down the route of purchasing players who create zero negative headlines off the field since Balotelli/Tevez... For me I think we are all out for Kroos, fits the bill perfectly probably the best passer of a football in the whole of Europe, calm collected and experienced head on him while only being relatively young.

Who cares about pace? You don't need it when you have the attributes he has, did Xavi need blistering pace? Absolutely not yet he was the best central midfielder of his generation because he had the knowledge upstairs and the ability with his feet just like Kroos. Also are people forgetting not so long back he came over to the etihad and bossed the central midfield all night long? We couldn't get near him and modric that night they made it look effortless.

If we manage to sign him and get him lined up next to Gundogan then God help whoever plays us. Don't get me wrong I'm a massive fan of Fernandinho and full believe he has a big part to play for us in the coming season but let's face it, our club and our fans want us to win the champions league and as it stands we have been painfully short up till now but the likes of Gundogan and possibly Kroos elevate us a level above that the likes of Fernandinho do.

Personally I think fernandinho, kroos, gundogan would make an incredible 3 in the middle.

Sounds insane but I almost feel like we could be playing 3-3-1-3.

Totally agree. I mentioned a week or so ago, that those 3 really seem to compliment one another, with each one of them able to offer something different. Between the 3 of them, there isn't a weakness.

Anyone who has followed Bayern in the last 3 years knows Pep loves 3-3-3-1, it's not "insane" at all.

Well, quite.

But they can't all be as gloriously knowledgeable as us though. ;)

Fwiw - I reckon.

Width very high up with a compact possession-keeping late-arriving platform behind that and kev as our muller.

5 signings away from almost a straight transplant of the bayern template (but without lewa's power or alaba's versatility - could that be ferna?)
