None of them distribute the ball at a 90% successful rate and score on finals like Gomez vs the Italians. But yes, unless you count him as a third defensive midfielder on a ball possessing 4-3-3 we are already stacked up not even considering an incoming Lewandowski which would relegate a false 9-Gotze either behind him or to his back right.

Or someone's leaving...

*cough* Robben *cough*

Aside from Sammer clearly stating that Robben won't leave this summer I'd say we would rather buy Isco should the Dutchman depart.

Sure. The grass is always greener in Barcelona...

Hey, when did that happen ?!

To be honest, I prefer Isco.
But our squad is so full right now. What about Shaq? And Robbery still have a couple of years to do their magic.

come on somebody here says that he does not wish this genius to play for our beloved club...
18m only; we will regret it if we have the chance and miss it...

Havent the likes of Man C, Chelsea and RM shown you having all the talent in the world doesnt necessarily make your team better. Having all these young players fightig for a spot could hurt team harmony. At least with Robbery there time is coming to an end so the likes of Gotze, Shaqiri, Muller, and Kroos will get a chance soon.....

This is not the same my friend, he is a young talent who grew up with Pep Guardiola , so they know each other very well.
I love all the above players, esp Ribery but no one is eternal (unfortunately) Kroos is a good player but sorry Alcantara is light years ahead of him. This is my op of course I am not in the FCB board so... Go and have a look at my post in the formations thread (at the end of the thread) and see how he can fit in our team. Of course some have to be sacrificed.

I just dont see why Bayern would make an unneccesary purchase when they already have Kroos to fill that spot. I dont see this transfer happening which could displace Kroos a German international for Alcantra a Spanish international.....

Kroos is underrated, whereas people tend to think that anyone from Barca is pure gold(Each and every barca player is overrated). Thats why everyone wants that guy here. Alcantara maybe hugely talented, but as we've seen, our squad hasn't been built just around talent. It has been built around hardwork and discipline. Kroos has that qualities, we don't know if Alcantara does. Considering all the pampering and attention(U-21 World cup) he's getting, I highly doubt he'll fit into our team.

No i dont doubt his skills im sure he is Bayern Munich quality but i think at the moment Bayern dont need to stuff themselves full of talent, especially with youngsters like Hojbjerg and Can coming from the youth team and i dont want Bayern to be like big spending clubs that dont find time to give youngsters a chance. I feel like people are forgetting the core members of Bayern's squad are from the youth team i dont see why Bayern need to look elsewhere for young talent when its right under them....

Maybe not Messi but definitely another Iniesta.

Barça wanted him as the new Xavi but he loses possession way too many times taking unnecesary risks or playing backheels and that kind of stuff. One of the most talented players nowadays but he still needs to improve his tactical awareness.

But I don't see any room for him in this team

In fact I think Isco would be a much much better transfer if we were to sign another creative midfielder which is definitely not the case

if he wants to be a Star player at a big club , then Manchester United is the team to go to

Their Central Midfield is barely good enough for our Bench , and i mean BARELY
