The Fellaini signing has really changed things,I could only see Herrera leaving on a permanent basis now (lack of game time), McTominay could take a loan I guess, even so I'd still ignore numbers and concentrate on quality, Kroos would arguably be our best midfield player.
I think the last option would be the most stable. I don’t see how Pogba and Kroos work in the same midfield
Are you serious? If Kroos came it would totally revitalise Pogba and free him to play like we saw at Juventus. Of course they can fit together but you need to put a destroyer behind them. Like Casemiro is doing for Real Madrid. With Fred also arriving the best option is to play all 4 of them in a diamond formation.
You forgot the 4-4-2 diamond option which is also the preferred formation for Real Madrid.
I think I would swap Pogba and Kroos. Playing Pogba at no.10 does not free him at all - playing him on the left of a diamond is more suitable and where he actually played at Juventus. Kroos is very intelligent and has played in the hole before.
This is the key. No point in going for a such a old guy.
He can still try going for his 5th, to be next to Maldini and some Madrid legends, or his 6th as joint alltime European Cup winner with Gento (and some of his current teammates).
Absolutely we can. We can pay bigger wages than anyone.
Of the four players they've bought off us, Ronaldo was the only one we didn't want to sell. We were actively looking to sell Beckham, Ruud and Heinze, so they were effectively signing our cast-offs. Beckham and Ruud were past their bests and we were selling them to make room for the new/younger guys coming through. Pretty much identical situation as when they sold Di Maria to us. Except Di Maria was still young and 'should' have potentially had his best to come.
I don't think Beckham was past his best. He left because Ferguson was angry with his lifestyle. I mean, that ability to cross the ball and take freekicks never goes away and he was never much of a dribbler anyway.
I'm liking the sound of this new 5 centre mids formation."Matic diposseses De Bruyne, Fred collects and drives forward laying it off to Pogba, who back heels it to Kroos, who chips it in to Fellaini, who heads it down to Alexis, who drives past two defenders and squares it to Lukaku who smashes it into the roof of the net"
...and Bale joins in the celebrations from the bench...he just can’t break into this side!!"Matic diposseses De Bruyne, Fred collects and drives forward laying it off to Pogba, who back heels it to Kroos, who chips it in to Fellaini, who heads it down to Alexis, who drives past two defenders and squares it to Lukaku who smashes it into the roof of the net"
Fergie felt that his lifestyle was starting to have an impact on his game. His last season with us was definitely a step down compared to his previous form.
Wakes up with bedsheet sticking to his cock"Matic diposseses De Bruyne, Fred collects and drives forward laying it off to Pogba, who back heels it to Kroos, who chips it in to Fellaini, who heads it down to Alexis, who drives past two defenders and squares it to Lukaku who smashes it into the roof of the net"
would be interesting and Kroos was one of the few Germans to com out of the WC not looking a complete twat.. but I still think we need winger(s) more
Because we already have players that fit his role, he wont add to us as much as a midfielder actually need.
Wait like who exactly?
A Modric type is what we need.
I was asking what player we have that fit the role of Kroos
Herrera, Fred.
He can't do the job we need.
Midfielder tend to have that longevity. Still have another 5 years at the top level at least.
