Clevemayer 764 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 He can shoot and pass, but he is about as fast as me running backwards (No shit actually happened at BAyern public training). Also he is not a player for the pivot. He surely CAN play there, but he truly is a no10 or an offensive no8. He is pretty similar to a younger Lampard, even though he will probably never reach that level. But true, much more than Mata he might be scary in a Utd shirt, even though I guess you can not play both in the same team anyway, cos they are both slow and not exactly defensive monsters with high workrates. Can't see him fit in here, or in the epl at all. I'd much rather expect him to stay at Bayern. I would like him alongside Matic as No 8 (CM) for us Magic After today I would get him ASAP, and a striker although... it can't get worse then what we have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would like him alongside Matic as No 8 (CM) for us Magic After today I would get him ASAP, and a striker although... it can't get worse then what we have nowI get your point Cleve, but even if it sounds ridiculous after his torrid performance today, I consider ramires as the better match for Matic, cos his pace and drive complement Matic's disciplined, methodic approach better. Kroos is too similar to Matic. Also Ramires is the better tackler. That is why I'd prefer Ramires to Kroos in a pivot. Still I'd love Kroos to come here, especially if lamps leaves. Honestly, Kroos is a good shooter, but on papaer, Lamps, oscar and Hazard are too, still their finishing was shit today, so if we had had Kroos today, I doubt the outcome would have been any different.

I don't refer to his shooting alone, I think he may be a bit slow like Mata but he has a very good physicality which would fit into our midfield, he can arrive late (quite like lamps) he has a great shot (like lamps) and he has that defence splitting passing abilit, he has shown that (a bit like mata), so he is somehow a mixture of lamps and mata but not all they're very best attributes. And him being as fast as you doesn't mean he is slow, does it? I think he would do great as No8 Lamps replacement, will never be that legendary world class mashine like lamps, but probably the closest you can get to him at this point...

iseah100 5,612 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Nooo. Rather use that on Costa, Martinez. Use half and buy chcicharito. He's a poacher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has better passing ability then Lamps and thats one of The main points he lacks in the pivot. He would ve more of an tranquerista. We often Need that role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Kroos is too similar to Matic.No he isn't. The only similarity both share is that they're both pretty laboured in their movements. Like you said, Kroos is more of an 8 or 10 whilst Matic is more of a 6.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I was wrong about not getting Dlp. Ramires-Matic is fine, but we need plan B. Question is who is the player who is top class but would be prepared to sit half games due to Mou tactics and play only in games like vs Whu...But Kroos is too expensive, we need to invest in ST, LB first. Too fucking bad we didnt buy Cabaye who is similar to Mata (corners, free kicks, key goals, vision) but plays deeper and can press. And Im sure he would be ready to exchange starting spot with Rambo/Matic. Also can play as #10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mak 4,459 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'd slap a big contract down in front of him just to see what happens - the type of contract he wants from Bayern, and then add a little bit more.He's the type of player who could change the whole dynamic of our team and turn us into PL champions this season - he's supposed to be Schweinsteiger's replacement after all. It's highly unrealistic, but the best case scenario is that we get him, worst case scenario is that we piss off Bayern and Pep. And that's always nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Rumours linking him with United started to pop-up in the last hours. There is something about Kroos reacting angrily after being substituted last night. Also something about Bayern demandig (only) £24M for his transfer. Some insight from our friends from Germany would be much welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
