Kroos can't do half of his contribution to our overall team flow, and last time James was a brilliant number 10 was when Chiellini wasn't sliding on normal pitch and giving opponents 1 on 1 opportunities.
+ And about all this BS surrounding Paul... If they really expect him to be phenomenal each game they are certainly suffering from some serious mental illness.

He is expected to be phenomenal each game because he is hyped to be the most expensive player of all time so it is normal to expect more from him than from any midfielder in the world who dont have half that price tag. No one asks the same of Modric or Kroos or Iniesta because they arent hyped to that extent. Pjanic was valued for 60 mill at best and he has about a similar outpout to paul. We are talking 120+ so have some perspective.
Kroos is an excellent passer and is very well rounded what are you on about? He is very consistently good for Madrid. If Pogba's going, he would be the only good option that we can get to replace him quality wise and longevity wise. Also James' talent is undeniable. He is still a top 3 AM in the world.

Nowadays, the hype is around any player who has one shining moment, so one in the right mind must realize that and shouldn’t expect too much from hyped players. Now I’m not saying they shouldn’t expect great moments from him, and if he doesn’t provide enough for his team they should be upset by his performance and criticize him, "fairly". But giving him credits for his moments of flash and some fancy dribbling and then completely destroy him just because he doesn’t score from 50 yards every game, that’s just completely unfair. And I don’t know about you, but to me people who are unfair are really struggling from serious mental issues.
The problem with Kroos is he’s good and solid but not on the level he gets complement from. He’s a Pogba replacement quality wise? What quality are you talking about? Shooting? Physical? Dribbling? Forward driving? Pace? Vision? Defensive contribution? Kroos is only near Pogba’s quality when it comes to passing and that’s it. And also don't forget the 3 year age difference between them. Kroos was never proved to be a good DM in Heynckes Bayern, and having him injured in their triple run, actually benefited them that year since they put Muller in his position and had Robben running on the right flank so they had actually two more solid offensive minded players upfront.
And about James… I really doubt that he could find his old self after this horrific year. I really wish he had never gone to that garbage club of Madrid…

Sure maybe we can win 5-0 more often. We dont have to be defensively caution in 80% of serie A games. Lets completely dominate teams offensively and use a balanced formation only when the opposition quality forces us to.

passing and vision definitely yes. Dribbling and defending certainly not. Pogba is very well rounded more than anyone else. But if he is gone who is the alternative? I really cant think of many names I'd have over Kroos.
