Toni Kroos | Madridista

Most will probably disagree but he seems to just lack that special something for me. I definitely don't think he's as good as Scholes, not yet anyway. Doesn't really run the midfield or dictate games.
It is a little bit hard to do so when almost every team are sitting back and not wanting to play football against you. When they have done, he has. Arsenal first leg and Madrid a few years back are examples of this.

We've had to put up with that a lot over the years but still the likes of Scholes thrived. I noticed a few times tonight that he ignored the potential ball over the top to Robben, instead knocking it to the guy Real left free out wide before apologising to Robben. It's just things like that and it's part if the reason Bayern look so boring.

I think that may be a bit more to do with the philosophy Pep likes to instill into the squad. I mean, he's certainly capable of those sort of defense splitting passes - again I go back to the Arsenal game - but Pep's whole mantra of controlling possession castrates the abilites of almost everyone. I believe the whole idea is 'if we have the ball, we have possession. If we have possession, the opponents cannot create chances' but Madrid did exactly that. Bayern look far too lax and a lot less dynamic than they did earlier in the tournament, and it really seems one dimensional, nobody benefits from it, and it made everyone look pretty eh' last night, Kroos included.

Maybe he is under instruction not to attwmpt these balls, but that certainly isn't the Guardiola style that I remember at Barca. That ball over the top was meat and drink for the likes of Xavi and Iniesta. I don't see why Guardiola just suddenly wouldn't allow it.
 

Jan is like a contract muppet.

He does the muppeting for us while we sit back and watch
 
I don't think Pep used him well tonight, or against us. Playing him too deep. With Lahm and Schweinsteiger partnering him in midfield, you'd assume he'd be in the most advanced position, but it was the complete opposite. He's the most penetrative of the three. Needs to be further up the pitch where he can afflict some damage on the opposition.

I agree, seems so strange that Schweinsteiger is staying far higher than him.
 
Ferguson was sat next to the agent for Toni Kroos / Marco Reus at today's game. Does this mean we can jump to the conclusion that "it's on"?
 
They do look quite similar.

Sascha Breese

Not Sascha Breese

Sure it wasn't him? Saw the shot of Ferguson and the guy looked familiar but I can't tell for sure who it was so I believe you, any idea who that was then?
Didn't somebody on here (one of the German fans) say that Breese was at the Leverkusen game?

Don't know, that's why I asked. Can't find anything on 'Breese Leverkusen' at Twitter though.

Looking at the photograph of Ferguson talking with it him means he has some interest in him, doesn't look like he is just trying to be polite or something. So if not Breese it's odds on it's family or someone pretty important, so it's gonna come out soon enough.
 
It's just the lighting innit? There's no way two different people would look so much alike and such a coincidence that he sat next to Fergie?

But regardless of whether thats him or not, today's performance should definitely be encouraging for all those linked with us, including Shaw and Cesc.
 
That's a different bloke you can tell by the ears.

To me his left ear seems pretty much the same as the right on the picture beneath that, so not sure why you are saying that?

LvG's no.1 transfer target according to the papers tomorrow. Then Strootman.

Would make sense. Like I said, I put my money on that being Sascha Breese with Sir Alex Ferguson last night at Old Trafford.

And that would make sense too, because now Moyes is gone, who is going to take care of transfers? Woodward with the contracts obviously, but who else is going to do the transfers than the man who appointed EVERYONE at Manchester United for the last 20 odd years?
 
His hairline looks the same too

It does. And his eyebrows. Surprised people aren't as curious as I am. Because him sitting next to Ferguson means a lot. He is the manager of Kroos, but also Reus's, I don't think we are buying both, but if that is truly Breese with Sir Alex, then we are in the final stages of signing one of them.

I prefer girls only mate. I've never done dick or thought about it to be honest!
 
It's another impostor trying to get involved in a deal. We've been had, again. Or we are signing Angus Deayton.
