It's so on! I had set up camp in the Kroos thread, but I feel I may need to set up camp here instead. It's so hard to choose!!!
I'd let a load out all over the curtain in joy.How would you feel if we signed both
Oh god, this is happening again isn't it?
As regards signing Fabregas and Kroos.
I'll just bring a tent and follow the posts from thread to thread.
I honestly don't see us signing him at all, not with LVG here. We had a greater chance when Moyes was here.
Oh boy, it's time to get the seat belts on!
Really? Is it that confusing? I don't think LVG will have any interest in him, we seem to be more interested in Kroos and I don't us getting both. I haven't seen us linked with in the English media, it's mostly in the Spanish press. Plus, we don't even know if he would come here.
I'm convinced Fab was a United target rather than a Moyes target tbh. I expect us to be in for him if hes available, whether we would sign him or not is another story. Also with LVG being here I say there would be more chance of Fab being convinced than with Moyes.
I don't think it's a case of convincing him, I don't see us being in for him if we get Kroos. Like I said, we haven't really been linked with him the English press, or any reliable source in fact.
Its been in the English press, although I wouldn't call any of the sources reliable.
I've seen the report in the Independent and also the usual crap like Mirror and DailyStar
Just like I said then. Most of the rumours are based on the fact that we were after him last summer.
We've not the foggiest if Cesc is on that list of van Gaal. That's why I posted the
Thing is, it seems Kroos is on that list, but then again Kroos was on Moyes list along with Fabregas. Further, murmurs in Spain are building momentum on Cesc being available at the right price whilst on the other hand we have Kroos and Bayern who've been stead fast in saying he's not for sale. At this stage it's anyone guess I'd say.
I don't think we should be getting our hopes up on this one. Surely he'd choose to go to Arsenal over us given they're in the Champions League this season. Don't they get the first option if Barca decide to sell him as well?
As great as it would be to see Cesc in a United shirt, I just don't see it happening.

It is a good comparison - both are out of your league and Kunis/Kroos are second best.
There is a great chance that neither is on that list . The only one I'm certain to be on Van Gaal's list is Strootman but if by any chance Kroos is there then maybe we have a greater chance because Van Gaal as a former manager there should have ways of gauging, more accurately, if he is gettable .We've not the foggiest if Cesc is on that list of van Gaal.

With this probably a summer a year too soon for the likes of Reus and Kroos and Strootman (who I have no idea why we didn't just sign last summer for a lot cheaper than what he'll cost now just a year into his contract with his new club) injured Fabregas is probably our best bet this summer tbh
I doubt we're getting Kroos, and if we're going by that, there's not much to suggeest that Van Gaal is a huge fan of Kroos, loaning him out when he was at Bayern.
I'm in lads, I think we'll be getting Kroos. Fabregas would be an ideal option to partner him, what's he like defensively? I've only ever really seen him in a purely offensive light.
I think we'd have to player 3 in midfield with a very defensive player alongside them for Kroos and Fabregas to work. Personally, I'd take Fabregas over Kroos but I think Fabregas looks more unlikely than Kroos.
So signing Kroos and Fabregas presents an opportunity to get Strootman in? Doesn't leave much for replacements for Young, Nani unless we look to Janujaz and Zaha to fill that void. Obviously in full muppet mode.
Abandon thread?
I don't think we need both. If would be happy with either and a talented young prospect.
I mean possible but I think there's an even smaller chance of us signing him this summer. From what I've seen on here, Strootman is recovering from a serious injury and won't be fit until August/September time. Seems like too high a risk.
Just quickly, what kind of player is he? I haven't seen him play and am not sure. Is he a defensive player or an attacking one? For some reason I imagine him as being a similar type to Cesc and Kroos.
He's far more defensive, and a lot quicker. He'd mop up and act as a runner/defensive midfielder.
Don't need Strootman just play Phil Jones there. Its enough
I haven't seen him play in a game to be honest but when we were linked a while back I was watching videos of him. Best way to describe him is a deep lying playmaker with alot of bite the personification of box to box.
Ok then, thanks. For some reason I always imagined him differently. I'll have to watch more of him.
Signing Fabregas and Kroos would be the best summer ever. It would have me believing anyone we are linked with are on the way here.
