Toni Kroos

[The Mak 4,459]

Always liked Kroos and if he's available we'd be mad not to go for him. 40+ caps for Germany, incredibly young and his range of passing is brilliant. He could be our midfield metronome alongside our midfield destroyer Matic. And we'd be a lot more physically imposing, that's for sure.

I know he fancies himself as a CAM but I think he's doing very well for such a young CM. Schweinsteiger was a winger once remember! And I think Bayern also knew what they were doing when they converted him to a CM/DLP!

This guy is just brilliant. solid player with a great pass and a thunder shot. he's a mix of Lamps/Gerrard/Scholes.

Top, top player.

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?

Götze isnt really playing a false 9. most of the time Mandzukic was playing there.

yeah the midfield position at bayern is difficult. they are playing 4-3-3 (4-1-4-1...more or less simliar). as a holding mitfielder mostly Schweinsteiger should be used, but at the moment, nobody knows, because he is always injured and maybe Pep has something different for him. at the moment, Lahm is often playing this role. Martinez is also someone for this role in front of the defence. Will be a duel between him and Schweinsteiger.

Than we have the 2 CMs. There we have Thiago, Schweinsteiger?, Kroos, Götze?. That is probably 3-4 players for 2 positions. aint that much. problem is, nobody knows how Götze will be used. he could play a false 9 and so there would be more options for Kroos, or he could go back playing as a CM (while he is too offensive for this role I feel). they signed Lewandowski futhermore, so playing a system with no striker makes no sense. Götze could also play on the wings. so, really, nobody knows what Pep is planning for in the summer. But he has talked only positivly about Kroos and I dont think, that they will let him go. Robben and Ribery are hitting their 30s, so maybe Götze will move on the wing. Or even Lewandowski.

Kroos can play in a pivot next to somebody like Matic/Ramires (if sitting deep). he can also play as a AMF. but I think he would be the perfect DPL for us. he has good passing, range of passing, he has a great vision and a great shot. Cons are that he is rather slow and sometimes lethargic or passive. But as I said, I dont think Bayern will let him go.

He would be the new Ballack of Mourinhos second coming. Unfortunately this transfer will not happen and if it does, we would be extremely lucky.

[Excalibur KTBFFH 109]

A Central midfield pair of Kroos and Matic would be something to behold, but I suggest we give van Ginkel a chance. He was the one who impressed me most in pre-season, and his style alongside Matic, will no doubt complement the front 4 very well.

And Toni Kroos is a CM

Toni Kroos is not a AM, though he played there in his youth.

[DH1988 1,347]

PLEASE!! PLEASE!! Beg you to sign this chap Jose, for YEARS ever since he come on the scene before that we were linked with him too when he was in the youth team of Bayern.

Kroos, Shaw, Zouma and a striker in the summer... my god.. *fap*

You forgot about Shaqiri, who is supposed to be replacing Robben in the XI

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Top player but Matic-Kross would be fucking slow...

[Strike 7,474]

Wrong time. Would first get a LB and a Striker

[Symbol123 175]

He's bit of a lethargic player, wouldn't his lack of pressing in the middle of the pitch be a concern for Mourinho?

[Martin Preuss 6]

Kroos seems highly rated by nearly everyone at Bayern, from top to bottom and in such cases these types of players don't leave in any hurry.

He will continue to be a key player for them and I would find it hard to see him leaving there anytime soon.

The thing with Van Ginkel is, personally I think he's a skinnier version of Matic. they're both more defensive and are not goal scoring midfielders ala Lampard/Gerrard. this is why I think we need a more creative central midfielder who can create goals and score them. Kroos is a great finisher and passing is one of his best attributes.

Matic and Van Ginkel can rotate while they play alongside a more "driving forward" midfielder.

[Waterfall 893]

Would be awesome and we do have Luiz if they want him, but like it's been said many times here, I don't see this happening AT ALL lol

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

This guy has INSANE passing accuracy and technique. It really is a thing of beauty, the type of player I love watching. Would love him here.
