Toni Kroos

[Pizy 18,877]

We averaged 55% possession last season! Nothing compared to Bayern! Plus the PL is a faster league! And Kroos is only effective when he has time and space on the ball! And he isn't quick like Matic! Teams with pace would be able to counter attack against us a lot easier!

And what will happen when we go to the Etihad or Anfield??? He will likely be dropped for someone who can defend and has pace to counter attack with like Ramires!

To your last point: exactly! If we needed pace and grit in midfield against sides like City or Liverpool or need to overpower a side we could play Ramires in there or Luiz if he's still around. Against sides that we struggled against this past season that park the bus or defend deep and LET US HAVE THE MAJORITY OF POSSESION Kroos could sit back and run the show just as he does at Bayern. Ramires is totally useless in those games.

So why would Jose want someone who he wouldn't trust in the big games??? He sold Mata for that reason!

And yes Ramires is ineffective against parked buses, but is someone who will just make Hollywood passes really what we need? I'd rather an all rounder who has more to their game then pretty passes when no one is closing them down!

@JanAageFjortoft Chelsea apparently have told Bayern to "name the price" for Toni Kroos. Told player "wages no problem"

I'd rather have an all rounder too, but all of those that are of the class we need would cost double what Kroos would.

Well he is 24 and already worldclass, 20-25m is a fuckin bargain. The sky is the limit for this guy, the problem is, can he play in the pivot? Mou obviously wants a quick player there and Kroos does not even have half the pace of oscar or even Willian.

I absolutely love watching this lad. Watching v Arsenal in the CL this season was nothing short of a joy to watch. If there is any truth in these rumors to us then we simply must make it happen.

Magical footballer.

Top sides in the PL including ourselves WILL have the majority of possession in most of their games. Think Kroos would adapt very well to this league as long as he has players around him to mask his weaknesses which we have.

For £20-25m there isn't anyone better out there.

What sort of contract do you give him?

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I don't dislike him, think he brings good skills to the pitch, what I'd be wary of is his ability to win the ball back and get us out on the counter. If his wage demands are too much for Bayern chances are they're WAAAAAAAY too high for us. He'd look good on a possession based team not sure he's the kind of guy that could initiate the counter.

I love watching him play also when he has all that time and space for those Hollywood passes! But when he doesn't have time and space he isn't very effective at all!

Oh boy...

[Pizy 18,877]

Double his current wages at least. He's apparently on peanuts at Bayern.

Don't care, really. He's not going to demand Yaya or Rooney wages. I think he'd be awesome here.

He's rumoured to be on 70k per week... you think he's actually worth 140k? Nah... Nope Never. The most i'd give him right now is 100k and that's on a 5 yr deal

I cant find it on his twitter. Where did you get it from?

[bushman 2,043]

I would like to see Kroos being bought by Chelsea. Manures thought they had him signed & delivered.
