Mata.
Woody preparing a 10m bid and a bag of sauerkraut.
Anyone that actually reads German able to find anything in the German press this morning?
I think this is just another contract renewal exercise to be honest. Hopefully not.
Surely this joke dies with the signing of Mata.
Same here. I'd be amazed if Bayern and him didnt reach an agreement.
And the Osman jokes as well I hope.
Doesn't sauerkraut come in jars?
Woody's messed it up again!
Cue mass debate about whether Mata or Osman jokes are the funniest...
Woody might have signed Juan, but mata he done for us lately? Eh? Just thought I'd put forward my submission for the worst Mata pun award.
Nope. He also won´t leave Bayern. There was a way bigger chance of getting Fabregas than him, which does not say much, though.
You win.
On my first attempt? Brilliant.
I keep hearing this, but I'm interested to know what it's based on. I get he's come up through their system, but it's not like people don't leave their clubs. So why does everyone seem to think that he's the German Scholes off the pitch, as well as on it?
Ashley Young was Giggs' replacement. SAF's words, not mine. Sure he says something about Ando for Scholes too.
Kroos
That's essentially my point to Mad Winger without being to specific in the Kroos thread. We didn't do enough class-for-class under Sir Alex in the last few years, it's an undeniable fact.
Bayern Munich does not sell players they want to keep. Its that simple. There is also absolutely no reason for him to leave Bayern. He is rated there and currently playes for the best team on the planet. His next contract will also make him one of the top earners in the team, so there is also no financial reason.
Not really, he has 18 months left on his contract, I don't care what club you are, when that happens the player could leave if you don't pay up.
Great title.Sphaero please stop killing my Kroos-erection. I don't appreciate it.
He is in contract talks for a while now and simply wants to get a little bit more money out of the situation. Oh, and I´m certainly not a Red. I prefer yellow and black
Yeah, I know that logic can be quite a buzz kill
Gott im Himmel! Englander pig-dogs!

I suppose.
He's seemingly had a similar rise through the Bayern system as Scholes, in the sense that he's a fairly local lad that came though young and made the first team pretty quickly at just 17. He also seems a very professional lad, too.
He has been in contract talks for a while, and they've stalled. My point is if Bayern don't give him what he wants, and that might happen, they do have Thiago, then he could leave. Is he actually first choice for them with everyone fit?He is in contract talks for a while now and simply wants to get a little bit more money out of the situation. Oh, and I´m certainly not a Red.

From what I've seen, he wasn't expected to be at the time they signed Thiago, but having had his chance, with the injuries they've had, he's really stepped up and staked his claim for a regular place in the starting XI.
Local? He is from Greifswald in north east Germany and got his first football education in Rostock. He was brought to Bayern fairly soon, though.
Well that'll teach me not to assume. I knew he was from Greifswald, but had no idea where it was, so assumed it was local to Munich.
This is partly what I'm getting at, though. He seems to give off this impression that he's a Bayern lifer....and I'm interested to know if it's warranted.

Always got the feeling he is a lifer. Sort of like beckham coming from London, but you'd never associate him with any team but us.
I'd love for it to be real but even if it is a contract thing, Moyes isn't daft, fool him once and all that. He's going to be aware of the negotiations and he's also going to be aware of what they think Kroos is worth. If Bayern don't match it we're on the front foot, if they do we're sharing a bed with a very good agent to share a bed with.
It's good that Kroos is aware that there is interest from us, hopefully he will demand much more from Bayern as a result and end up moving out.
The german media has the same info as the english.. Moyes was with his agent and the only player that has any connections there is Kroos.. So they are putting 2+2 together...
Hopefully they're getting vier and not fünf!
You cnuts. I thought we had bagged him or something after seeing this thread was bumped up by a hundered over posts at the main pageIs he a cm? I always thought he was a wide player in 4231 formation.
