Well, according to Löw, there is no agreement between Madrid and Kroos. Maybe we are still in the race. Who knows.

It's a lot. And it is very important for a midfielder of possession, i believe. Xavi Hernandez, for example. He has endless resources. That allows him to keep the ball and create opportunities for his teammates. Because he attracts opponents. It allows you to have a high percentage of possession in the deepest part of the field. Kroos instead passes and outputs in the defensive half.

At least he defends and runs. In Barcelona was the only creative who did it.

Yes, the transfer does not make much sense. Kroos is no better than Isco or Modric. And he is not a defensive midfielder. Sorry for my awful english. @Toli Well, he has a great long pass, but ... what else? He lacks technique with the ball. Again, sorry for my awful english.
