No doubt Kroos is a great player and i'd love to have him at United but you lot wasn't even mentioning him until Moyes was spotted with his agent. now he's in peoples top 3/4.

To be fair I haven't seen a lot of Kroos, I have never really sat and watched him play. Most Managers scout a number of players in one game. I think Xhaka, Dante & Kroos were all watched. However Raphael Honigstein has said that he believes both Dante and Kroos will sign a new deal.

Totally agree mate, same with that Herrera fella!

I've mentioned him before but I'm guessing plenty of people weren't aware bayern would allow him to leave, similar to how no one would put players like Sergio Ramos and Muller in there "top 3's" as people just assume they're unattainable

JK92 people usually talk about the SOLID+SPECTACULAR types of players.

Vidal is that type of player.

Kroos on the other hand i'd say is just SOLID. But that doesn't mean he's a bad player, that means people won't talk about him much.

Kroos is not a great player. He's much more than that. His technique and ability on the ball dwarfs Scholes', and he has a similar passing range ( not the vision yet, but it comes with time ).

Given the right circumstances, and if he keeps progressing, Kroos will become one of the best midfielders of his generation.

We rave about how technically gifted Gundogan is, Kroos is his superior

I mentioned him about 2 weeks ago as underrated when there were reports emerging that he may be open to a move. He can play central or more advanced, certainly a playmaker type and highly regarded by the traditional bayern group. His main problem I think has been the arrival of Alcantara.

Mumbai boy, there's a reason lots of Bayern fans were not happy at all with Goetze and Thiago joining. They thought it would limit Kroos' chances.

Lots of Bayern fans see him as the natural successor to Schweiny, with the potential to be better.

On your description, gerrard was more spectacular than Scholes, therefore he was better. What you fail to see is that Scholes is a better passer, better tempo setter and better playmaker.

Same goes for Kroos. If he reaches his potential, he will become better than Scholes ( knowing well that Scholes is one of the best central midfielders in history ).

I believe he's that good, and I'd rather have him than Vidal, Gundogan, and any other midfielder out there

Mick I said that Kroos is a good player, please read my comment again.

And yes Scholes was less spectacular than Gerrard but he definitely was a better passer and had great vision.

JK92, to be fair, I don't think anyone on here doesn't think Kroos is a top player. The reason he's rarely mentioned is because we always assumed he was one of those one-club player's.

I'll give you Herrera though.

Mick

Dwarves Scholes? Nobody dwarves Scholes my friend so you are either short on vocabulary or short of sight. Just saying

Isn't that agent also Reus' agent?

To be fair AJH, Scholes isn't very tall
