Can someone tell me why Kroos is almost 'certain' to go to UTD?

Swear he's a big man @ Bayern (51 total appearances this season), correct me if i'm wrong i don't follow Bundesliga that much but thats a big step down too.

Van Gaal was at Bayern when he was coming through the youth, probably gave him his first start. Maybe Bayern aren't willing to pay him what he wants.

Could be a combination of things. Plus if you see last season as just a blip for United they aren't as unattractive as they may seem.. still one of the biggest clubs in the world in the most famous league.

yeah i cant see that happening i think its just gassed up utd fans. i think they could have serious trouble attracting a big signin this year without cl. the only thing going for them is just how big a club they are but competition for the top 4 in the pl is so big now i dont even know when theyll get back in

[Muncey]

Yeah I'd still be surprised if he went considering they have no European football. Apparently Van Gaal has £150m to spend, if this takes out a massive chunk hes basically just doing a Moyes bringing in Fellaini and Mata. Needs to spend shrewdly imo, they have a seriously weak squad and need to strengthen in almost every area.. shelling out on a couple big money players who could flop isn't going to do much for their weak squad.

[DJoe]

hopefully he'll just spend it like tottenham did. if they got cl year before last they could have got some quality players with the bale money. erickson is decent but the rest of the players they got were a waste.

[Muncey]

Definitely, I said when they signed Soldado that I hope he doesn't flop cause I rate him.. hes probably been flop of the season lol.

[DiegoSapiens]

nah soldado has always been pretty mediocre

[ehbes]

in the next 2-3 years i imagine Fagúndez will be playing in spain. Diego, maybe tip him to betis

[DiegoSapiens]

[DiegoSapiens]

in one hand he is american but in the other he have the name of the greatest, i can see a great future for him tbh (not in betis though )

[hubb]

the reason for kroos maybe leaving is just because they have so much upcomming talent in the midfield in bayern and that he is too expensive to use as just an alternative

the reason he has played as much as he has, is mainly because martinez has underperformed, thiago and schweinsteiger has been injured etc
+muller and lahm becomming central midfielders under Peps direction.

but he's great - not far away from sneijder in ability - who united have always wanted on their team. But imo they should just get kagawa and mata to play up to their promise because they are worldclass players in comparison imo .

personally I see kagawa as the most dissapointing case of not living up to a promise ever apart from maybe robinho ?

in one hand he is american but in the other he have the name of the greatest, i can see a great future for him tbh (not in betis though )

he hasn't decided between America and Uruguay so have hope

[rockonin]

Really hope Ashley Cole goes abroad instead of United or Liverpool. Especially not Liverpool.

[ehbes]

i heard that if qpr get promoted they're gonna make a play for him

[Forum]

He'll go Galatasaray or the US for a couple of years of big bucks

[ehbes]

if he wants to join the revs and our converted football turf we'd have him

[wub]

Now United are preparing a bid for Edin Džeko?

[Johoosh]

Don't need that sort of player at all.

[wub]

I'm not entirely sure if the United fans on my newsfeed haven't been at the slightly dodgy prawn sandwiches again, some of this stuff just seems windup.
