Toni Kroos

[Monkchester]

We can't go into a deal like this with our eyes wide shut. Oh who am I trying to Kid man?!!

will this be seen as a Blue Sky signing or a Vanilla One ?

 

[Monkchester]

Too much of a Maverick for my liking.

Ric I Suppose this deal will eventually depend on the Colour of our Money !

Probably that we can only sign top players if no one else wants them. No one else was in for KdB. Same for the Rags I'd say, Pogba will only go there if Madrid don't want him, and no one of any significance wanted Ibrahimovic.

Hmmm....bollocks. Bayern wanted KdB. Real wanted Aguero. The scum wanted Silva. Seems like there has been another outbreak of Icklecityitus on here. Didsbury Dave would be losing his fucking mind about now.

No, he was referencing the Tom Cruise movie "A Few good men"

is Real signing Andre Gomes and is that our only hope now of signing Kroos?

I'm not sure even if Real do land him that he'll make the difference, he's not benching Kroos for any games. More like, Real have no transfer window for another 2 full seasons, so they are bringing in replacements ahead of time.

Our chances of signing Kroos are no different than before and rely on one of the following:
1 - He asks to leave, because he wants to come to City (he has a personal connection with Pep, his wife is unsettled in Madrid etc)
2 - Real sign a replacement and need cash flow or he asks to leave as a result (ie, Paul Pogba)
3 - City trigger his release clause and convince him to leave.

All three are unlikely, but it's still way too quiet a transfer window for Real, especially given they won't see another until 2019, so who knows?

 

[Dazzle84]

Too much of a risky business for Real to sell him this window

Unless they are just waiting for us to show them the money..

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

If we hit the breaks he'll fly right by.

 

[Dazzle84]

Cocktail for disaster if you ask me

 

[dronefromsector7G]

War of the worlds.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

You've disappointed me Bluemoon,you all wanted Kroos not so long ago...........You've lost that loving feeling.

 

[Mr.Banks]

I think he could be our rock, of ages to come

Is that Pep? ;)

It's Zabba listening to Quo

I think all the film references should stop.

It is clear that some people are losin' it. I am not sure if it has been said but this guy is a legend who makes all the right moves. I think he was born on the 4th of July far and away from England. We seem to be going into this deal with our eyes wide shut based on a minority report. It is as clear as knight and day that if he does not sign this forum will go into oblivion so hopefully by the edge of tomorrow all should be done

Hahaha....could be!

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

If we can get him, then we should pursue it totally if Pep asks for him. Quality player and has a proven track record to justify his fee.

Kroos/Cruise

Is the correct answer. It was just a 'Top Pun'.
