"Kroos'ing to la undécima"- The Official Welcome Toni Kroos Thread

To be honest, i would sell Kroos, Modrić and Isco in 2020. Bring Odegaard and Pogback. Also, we need alternative for Case. Preferably dynamic and defensively strong player with DLP capacity. Roca maybe?

So: Casemiro, Roca?, Odegaard, Pogback, Valverde, James? / Eriksen?

 

Odegaard is on loan for 2 seasons at Real Sociedad. So, he is coming back in 2021.

 

I agree. I'd move on from Modric first and keep Kroos.

He still blew the game for us just as much as Modric. He should be hitting the target at least from his chances...

 

I saw the whole game and still don't know what happened to him.

Was it exhaustion or a knock?

 

Probably muscle overload.

 

After tests carried out today on the player Toni Kroos by the Real Madrid medical services, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the adductor in his left foot. His recovery will continue to be assessed.

Out for 3 weeks probably.. ffs. aim - be fit in El Clasico, on 26th

 

Good thing we have an INT break. That's 1 week that we won't lose

 

Well, that’s what happens when you run players into the ground.

 

Correct.

 

opportunity? Kroos will miss just one La Liga game against Mallorca

 

You don't know this for certain. Our medical team is wrong all the time.

I hope James takes the moment. He has always been superior to Isco and Zidane needs to reward it.

 

Agreed. Masterclass. He did some serious carrying. His tactical foul told me everything I needed to know.

 

Valverde has helped us tremendously.

Playing him with Kroos helps Kroos be his best version. If anything we all learned that Kroos still has "it" he just needed to get his form again combined with Casemiro and another hard working midfielder with tremendous energy.

Modric just doesn't have those horses anymore.

I'm sure Modric would work with Casemiro and Valverde as well.

The lesson I hope Zidane remembers is that Casemiro, Kroos and Modric in a three man midfield is suicide.

 

Toni is a candidate for best player in the team this season so far, he’s been excellent. I’m pretty happy to be proven wrong about him and also happy that Zidane’s faith is paying off.

 

Yes we would have still wanted him out if not for Valverde.

Kroos form is directly tied to Valverde's infleunce. When Valverde isn't partnering him he regresses.

So if you want to blow someone don't forget the kid who many wanted gone for Llorente, whom actually is the catalyst for our midfield finally becoming balanced.

 

Kroos can't play very good without two very hard working midfielders. Before he had Modric and Casemiro doing that part but now it's Fede and Casemiro, take one of them out and Kroos isn't nearly as influential as he is when those two are playing.

 

I would say it is more about Kroos being paired with high work rate players in general, and not Valverde per se. Albeit, Valverde is showing great stuff and should be a starter at this point.

Indeed, it’s like Benz making Ronaldo the monster goalscorer and player he was for us, of course not, even when Toni plays well, it’s not him, when Benz is mediocre he’s still good, strange all around, only player all can seem to agree on is Casemiro.

 

Honestly I thought it was time to move on from him, mainly because i didn’t think he was willing to fight for the shirt anymore, his attitude has shifted and that’s why we’re seeing him at his best again.

 

To be fair Kroos was excellent against Sevilla, and he was partnered with Casimero and James.
