Rmpr 8,977 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I don't think their squad is more balance with kroos. Di maria was outstanding last season with RM because he gave them balance that they need.Really suprise if this happen, I am not sure khedira, modric and kroos are good combinationDi Maria is better than Kroos, but he isnt what RM most need. CR7 and Bale will obviously be the starting players on the flanks, so Di Maria really doesnt fit in their system...However, while Real already has plenty of players to play on the wing, they dont have that much depth on the CM/CAM department. And Kroos gives them just that!It is more of what they need most than who is better or had the better season (imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Real, what made Di Maria so effective as that 3rd midfielder was his ability to push the ball forward at pace. It was vital to their counter attacking system. Kroos doesn't have the capabilities to do that. Sure, he'll add a threat if Real are attempting a more possession based system but that Real Madrid front four of Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema and Di Maria was truly outstanding, a joy to watch on the break.

Especially in La Liga. If you look at their matches against Atletico, they really struggled because they had no creative possession.With Kroos that changes...

bababoom 4,478 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I thought Carlo wanted more legs in his midfield? wasn't that why he was so desperate to buy Ramires... it just seems weird now to replace the only player at Real who has that in abundance with Kroos, don't get me wrong he's a wonderful player, but he's not known for his stamina and pace.

He proved last season with Real and last few years with Argentina that his best position is CM.I think it should be noted that Di Maria( or agent) is also very much pushing for a move away from Real Madrid, he has never been really appreciated at Madrid and Madrid do not want to give him the wages that Mendes want for his client. It is a big loss for Madrid, he is by far a superior player to Kroos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 To think that he was actualy available last year for rumoured 25/30m (well to make him join us, we would have to pay 35m atleast), but then we went to buy Willian for 35... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember where I read this but I read that ancelotti was given a choice between di maria and ozil and he pick di maria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
