Not sure, I'd have thought he'd be back fairly soon. Doesn't matter, tbh, he's not going to get a game either way.

They'll have to play Kroos in the two, surely? James, Ronaldo, Bale and Falcao/Benzema as the front four.

Kroos will play in a two, but who's he's playing with is what counts.

Falcao is a better finisher than Bemzema aswell. He's score tons in La Liga (playing for one of the big two).

Perhaps, but I'm not convinced it's ideal. For me, I think Kroos is better with two natural central midfielders alongside him. When I've seen him deeper with more defensive responsibility I haven't been too convinced about it. I liked the Khedira-Schweini-Kroos trio.

If they'd signed one of Kroos/James and bought Vidal I'd be more concerned. I think this looks a little unbalanced. May well be wrong.

Will be fun to watch though, tbf.

Agreed. Bayern fans say his tackling isn't very good. He's not especially mobile either, but in Spain I don't think that will matter quite as much.

Alonso must be screwed now. Then again I always thought he was somewhat overrated, and he's a dirty bastard too.

Rumours on twitter he's signed for real

Good. Hope he scores a hat trick against Liverpool.

This. Amazed City or Chelsea didn't sign him tbf

Really thought Chelsea might have had a nibble with Diego Costa crocked. Glad they didn't tbh.

Hope he shits all over the scouse bastards.

Amen brother

Love Madrid tbh, a ridiculous and completely unnecessary deal

Not sure how Don Carlo will fit all these players into the side, but watching him try should be entertaining.

Delighted for Hames.

Takes them out of the Vidal equation hopefully.

Indeed. PLUS I'm just happy RM getting Falcao means Liverpool/Arse or whoever won't get him.
