Are they actually going to sign Kroos? That's a coup if it happens. Damn.

Puts them right up there next season. All they have to do is pick up a defender or two in the summer. The competition for the league will be ridiculous for the next few years.

So Kroos never joined them yesterday? That's a relief. We need to pick him up in the summer then.

Reckon Bayern will end up coughing up the wages for him.

If i was them i would sell Schweini rather than Kroos. They would still get a lot for him and he's becoming increasingly injury prone. Then give Bastian's money to Toni.

Yea offering him more seems the obvious thing to do. Then again I though barca would have got thiago into the team instead of selling him.
They won't sell sweini he's a huge celebrity over there the gossip mags have stories on him all the time.

I do wonder the reason they won't offer him more, is it just down to them not wanting to pay him or his demands being ridiculously high. I've read there are a few Bayern players on around double his wages and that doesn't sit well with him.

I seriously doubt they will let him go, fantastic player and came through their system IIRC and think all these Man Utd rumours are from his agent to get Bayern to pay what he wants

This article sums up perfectly how good and important Kroos is to Bayern. If we get him we are sorted in midfield for the next decade

A midfield trio of Kroos, Ramsey and Özil would be fantastic, but I actually think Kroos is at his best in the number 10 role.

Yeah, maybe. I have a feeling that the only reason Kroos is still there is because the Bayern boardroom want to keep their German backbone. Guardiola doesn't seem to rate him that much and he brought in Alcantara for big money last summer.

Whispers around that Van Persie is set for a "shock return" to us next summer.
How does that grab people?
It is probably a complete fabrication but I found it quite funny.
He has an "uneasy relationship" with Moyes apparently.

he's a dirty, opportunistic rat.
if he'd gone to Barca, Juve, Real, Milan etc., i'd be happy to take him back. as we have done with Flamini and Henry. but what he did is unforgivable

reckon he's old and busted now. we can find a better striker imo.

oh yeah, and he's a giant cunt.

It's nonsense, but rumours like that make me smile. Nobody deserves United's downfall as much as he does. And the little boy inside him.

Even looking at it objectively, he's on what? 200k a week and would cost in excess of 20m for a 31yr old on the decline? Would be a good signing for someone with unlimited funds but when we spend we need to make it count for the next few years.

If I thought he'd be the definitive answer to our striker problems I'd sign him back, no emotion just business, in his prime he's as good as any of the names that people are crying for.
His ship's probably sailed though, at 31 he'll be on the decline, so on that level he wouldn't be worth the inevitable outrage resigning would cause.

Yep. Can't afford to take that chance on someone who's 31, terribly injury prone and has had two good seasons in his career. No one wants him here either. Just imagine the reactions if he got injured or failed to perform.
