Toni Kroos

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Isn't a 5 man midfield? 4-1-4-1 i think

4-3-3, 4-1-4-1 whatever you want to call it. With Robben and Ribery on the wings (yes they press but thats high up the field) its often 3 defending when the opponents play past Bayerns first press.

[Spike 12,049]

Yes but they play with 3 in midfield and not 2 like we do.

Well the 4-2-3-1 with Oscar in it may as well be a three man midfield. His work rate and positioning is extraordinary. Oscar is a unique CM/AM hybrid.

Would he fit better in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 for us? Thinking : Rami Kroos or Matic-Kroos If we are going for him, that would mean the end of Mikel?

Matic

FUCK YEAH! C'mon Jose make it happen!

One thing is for sure - if Bayern and Kroos won't reach an agreement by the end of the season we are entitled to hope that this move will happen, but be sure every top team in this Galaxy will be in for him. Just like someone said earlier, he is just too good to pass up on and I'd even have David Luiz included in this deal if Bayern are indeed interested in him as rumours suggest.

Yeah you got a point, but lets take it this way. Do you like Lamps in the Pivot? If yes then great, if no then your not gonna like Kroos there either. Kroos is originally a pure nr 10.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Have been a big fan of Kroos, what an addition he would be though to this team... just gonna sit tight till Jan 31, cant get my hopes too high yet.

Refer to my signature and 'Fav Player' for your answer!

Either way Kroos offers an immense versatility for the midfield. Players of his skillset and versatility are hard to come by.

Why isn't he signing a new deal?

One thing is that he shoots an awful lot, same can be said for Lampard though, especially in him prime.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Too good to be true. People love to use Chelsea to get new massive contracts.

Too good to be true, but what if that really happened?

I mean, Matic + Kroos with Hazard - Oscar - Willian is something special...

[Toli 977]

he will renew his contract. just trying to get more money. would be crazy to leave Bayern now and has no reasons for it. and Bayern surely will ofer him something new soon. He is playing great at the moment and I am sure Pep would not love to sell him at all. and Bayern have no financial problems to offer him the right contract. Futhermore, he is playing at his favorite position at the moment.

Isn't he more of an attacking midfielder? not really sure we need him.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Kroos-Matic?

Would mean the end of Ramires as a definite starter I think, he doesn't have the passing quality of the above two. Can't see us getting this guy though, despite how great it could be.

He would be awesome for United though, the kind of player that they need more than Mata IMO.

Or the return to 4-3-3? Perhaps 4-4-2? 4-4-1-1?

Its options. If we have a chance to grab Toni Kroos we'd be stupid not to, it would make us EXTREMELY hard to prepare for and even harder to play against. I would love this about as much as I'd like to have Pogba.

Sounds like a ploy to get a bigger contract though

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

He is good player, great passer with vision and all. But he is fucking slow, too slow for counter attacks.

In our system he would initiate the counter not join them.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Too good to be true. He just wants a bigger contract.

Matic - Kroos ??

Too good to be true.

hi mate, haven't watched so many games this season, but Bayern kinda uses a 4-3-3/4-1-4-1 right now with Gotze as a False 9, but what about next season when Lewandowski will be Munchen? He'll be a starter at CF and Gotze will drop to the "10" position. where Kroos is playing right now. Schweinsteiger will be a starter too I suppose and who will be the 3rd midfielder? Logically it should be a DM. Do you think Pep will choose Kroos over Javi Martinez? And go with a Schweinsteiger (DM) - Kroos (CM) - Gotze (CM, AMC) midfield? Cause right now it's not about the money anymore, it's about playing time and I think Gotze and Schweinsteiger are definitely going to be starters with only one spot in the midfield left and three good players fighting for it Kroos, Thiago and Javi Martinez. Just my thoughts, don't take this tactics for granted, just saying, you know, but what if this isn't only about the money?
