January Transfer Window 2016

[aws]

Looks like Tiago Illori will be heading back so Villa can free up a loan space.

He'll be like a new signing.

[Phoenix]

Fucking hell forgot he was there. Hasn't played a single league game according to Wiki. Sad.

 

Weird move from his point of view. 

 

They were always going to struggle this season and a young player isn't going to get a look in when they do (especially when someone on loan).

Murillo would've partnered Ilori for Granada a couple of seasons back.

More like Camp Granada

Hope we sign their entire first XI

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos, who is on a long list of players who could be on their way out of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in 2015, according to the latest rumours.

 

Fichajes.net's Ernesto Gonzalez (h/t Metro's Mark Brus) claims manager Jurgen Klopp is ready to move for the Germany international, who hasn't always looked his best in manager Rafa Benitez's new system. Meanwhile, Pipi Estrada of El Chiringuito (h/t Sport's Alejandro Alcazar) suggested Real president Florentino Perez is ready to part with the 25-year-old.

 

The former Bayern Munich man was one of Real's top performers during the 2014-15 campaign, although his performances became less dominant as the season wore on.

 

He's was one of La Liga's top passers in 2015, via OptaJose:

Kroos and Luka Modric form a fantastic passing tandem in Los Blancos' midfield, but Benitez's defensive tendencies have resulted in a less advanced role for the German. Last year, he also mainly played in front of the defence, but he had far more room to work with as a playmaker.

 

In the new system, his impressive passing range and physical abilities are partly negated, and he sees far less of the ball around the opponents' box.

 

Here's a look at some of his highlights:

 

 

Klopp knows Kroos well, having faced him on a regular basis when in charge of Borussia Dortmund, and it's not a stretch to believe he would pounce on the opportunity to sign the midfielder should he become available.

 

Whether he does is a big question mark, however. Kroos only joined Los Blancos in 2014 and is still a young player, and he should be a building block for Real, not someone who's shipped out because Perez wants to rebuild his squad in an attempt to dethrone Barcelona as the dominant force in Spanish football.

 

Kroos himself also doesn't sound too eager to leave the Spanish capital anytime soon―if anything, he appears to feel right at home with Real, something he highlighted during a recent interview with Alberto Navarro of the club's official website:

 

There's some room for improvement and I'm certain we'll get better. We work our socks off on a daily basis and the pay off for that hard work will end up being reflected in the results. I'm positive that we'll find that consistency that is not only demanded of us by our fans, but that we too yearn for.

 

[…] We're not even at the half-way point in the domestic championship and we performed very well in the Champions League group stage to reach the round of 16. It's too early to be making evaluations. We are Real Madrid and being successful is part of our DNA.

 

Kroos would be a fantastic signing for the Reds, but as of right now, a transfer seems unlikely.

[mouse1989]

I'm fairly confident in saying we are not signing Kroos anytime soon... And people actually get paid for making this shit up?

 

Won't be long before we are linked with Ibra

[Tony Moanero]

Why the fuck haven't we signed anyone? FSG are taking the piss out of us, the fucking cunts. Fuming, fucking fuming.

[Tony Moanero]

Fucking bastards.

Is this your take on it or part of the article, LF?

[Captain]

I read it as part og the article. And the article is fucking shit.

 

No surprise there.

[aRdja]

Hope we sign their entire first XI

 

 

I'd like to sign their young african striker, not because we need one, but because he's a guaranteed Success.

[aRdja]

I read it as part og the article. And the article is fucking shit.

 

No surprise there.

 

It's possible that Klopp would be interested in Kroos because they're both german. Kroos had a better season last year than this year, maybe because of how Benitez is using him. He doesn't sound like he wants to leave, so a transfer seems unlikely.

[Anubis]

Don't worry boys and girls, Ian Ayre is on the case.

 

 

 

Ian: Why are you holding my hand?

Teddy: Where's your other hand?

Ian: Between two pillows...

Teddy: Those aren't pillows!

[Captain]

No point in leaving RM if you are unhappy with the manager, considering the rate with which they replace their managers.

Whole piece is a C&P job

I cant see it happening,id love it to happen though. The lad is Quality

[Josef Svejk]

Kross and Sane.

 

Apparently, both dream of playing for (approx.) the sixth best team in England.

[Lee909]

Yeah but with them two and ter Stegen we'd be top

[aRdja]

Stevie be texting...

[Boss]

We won't be signing players like Toni Kroos i'm afraid, it'll be players like Grujic.

I too think it's reasonable to think Klopp would like Kroos in his team. I know I would, he's a top quality player.

 

Not going to happen though.
