If the unlikely event the article is legit and Kroos is going for £20m, what have we bid for Robben? £10m? £5m?
Toni Kroos | Madridista

IMO Kroos is not worth €25m, he's worth much more.
I'd imagine close to €40m to open negotiations. For €25m is a steal, don't think Bayern are that stupid..
Kroos only has a year left on his contract.
Kermit costume. I'd put a Jersey on over it. http://www.fancydressball.co.uk/big_images1/the-muppets-kermit-costume-889802.jpgHaha I can't wait for this one
Clubs agreeing deals before transfer window is nothing close to madness. The reason why Kroos is on the football map is effect of Van Gaal's trust and work with the youth.
Won't be surprised if we'll get him but that price is really below minimal...

20m sterling is 25m euros. That could be the basic fee for someone on his last year. Add in bonuses etc as others have said. Still, 20m for Kroos.
Considering it ain't my money, I couldn't care less what the fee is.
Good age, decent talent, needs a disciplined partner. I'd have Song in a heart-beat.

Robben is 30. If we bid serious money for him it would be foolish.
If he can be acquired cheaply, it's a no brainer.
Kroos and Strootman
Even more reason for Bayern to hold out for a much higher price..
Of course and no one here will disagree with you, but my working from £ to €, given his contract situation and undisclosed bonuses fee's was the only way I seen that there could be any truth in it. It's all wishful thinking though, it is the Dailymail after all.
Sounds as if talks are very advanced and LVG might have made it a must for Kroos. In which case Bayern are faced with an unhappy, non-contributing player who leaves for nothing in a year or 20 mill in the bag now.
In that case 20m isn't unrealistic.
Express running the Deal Done story too but without a price tag. Never heard of their website so no sure how reliable it is.

Daily Star's page and another source after Mail.... interesting.
A lot of people sticking their necks out regarding the Kroos thing. This is looking good.
Daily Express is very poor.
If there's nothing in the German media (I doubt it or we'd have heard it already), there's definitely no deal agreed.
Just seems a case of the English media bandwagoning.
Guys, before we get carried away. Chris Wheeler too.

I don't really think that's the way is works tbh. You may be right, but Bayern of all teams know that a player can run down their contract and leave for nothing, just look at the no 9 they have coming in this summer.
I just googled it to see if any more reliable site had confirmation up, first page was ESPN and I misread ''United Confident about Kroos'' as Confirmed in my minute of muppet maddness
£20m? What are they smoking at the daily mail?
Haha to be honest, after hearing the reports today regarding the apparent VETO by Giggs (which I think is horseshit) I am convinced though, we had a deal to sign Thiago last summer.
To be fair we did agree a deal with him and then pulled out.
Apparently the deal was close and it was pulled when Moyes came in. Same for Strootman and Garay. Obviously, that could be false as well, but the rumours are too big to be untrue, surely?
Disciplined should never be a word used to describe Alex Song.
Moyes pulled the plug on that one I think mate
I agree about Robben, I was referring to the price of Kroos and why it may not actually be so ludicrous.
None of these stories make me feel it's on, it's quite the Wesley Sneijder situation (Mail, Express, Daily Star).
Precisely what I thought. Players ran past him when he was at Arsenal he was just very good at picking out Van Persie's runs
No credible or well known journo is so it must be taken with a pinch of salt right now.
I honestly believe we can sign Kroos if LVG wants him, but lets not forget he was a Moyes target and just like we were in for Carvalho it might be swept away under the rug with the placement of a new manager.
Kroos for £20mil
C.Ronaldo for £40mil
Robben for £10mil
Predicting a successful summer I think.

While you guys may be right, I'm still not getting carried away. That Thiago saga hurt like hell in the end.
lolwut
Kroos for 20mil would be insane.
Don't see why we would go for Robben though, I know he has had a good season but feck me he is 30 and he is injury prone as all hell.

Da fuq did this come form?
To me sounds like 25m bid in for Fabregas. I agree that the pound has more weight these days, but evein with 5-6m more I think it will be more useful to Bayern for another year than selling him on the cheap... Besides if they engage a bidding war I'm sure there are several clubs that will shell out more, namely Real, City, Barca, etc...
Whoosh.
If he's going to give a summer list, at least make it realistic..........
Counter whoosh!
