You are the same person that saw Kroos dominate a match between Brazil and France, so only God knows what you watch....
yes oh in 2014 world cup,we were many who saw the game,i heard he was made the man of the match,and widely recognised as the midfielder in that world cup,many you see thinks differently than the rest of us sha

You clearly don't watch city games.

Silva is the advanced CM at City. KDB barely even gets touches in the box these days. Someone described himself as a DM and you're comparing him to Gerrard? cheesy
abeg does man city now play in pluto or i watch their okrika version.

If KDB is in Madrid, I think it will be between him and modric.

Kroos is untouchable.

KDB who has a tendency to push forward in his quest for goals and assist can not play as a midfield controller. Kroos is always calm on the ball just like xavi. He distributes the passes well.... And modric has the freedom to bomb forward due to kroos' presence.

KDB should be compared to the likes of Gerard... And I think Gerard is better. Lmao
people dont what a tempo dictator is in this thread ,dem say na sideways pass kroos dey do,because modric is more famous player KDB fanboys thnik they can pick on kroos lol.just so their hero will start in real madrid.

lol. Erikson is in the category of midfield 'controller' even though he's been mostly deployed in the attacking midfield but he has the attribute, maybe he will be deployed deep as he grows older, like David Silva did. I understand your analogy though.

KDB on the other hand doesn't even have the skill set to control the midfield at the top level.
we are saying the same thing.

This sort of argument is tiring, to say the least. The double-standard displayed by KDB's fans here is egregiously shocking -- especially coming from someone like nihilistjnr, who isn't renowned to engage in wanton amala turning frequently like someone we all know grin
debruyne has virtually nothing on kroos,so his fans has to strip kroos of his achievements to stand a chance

There's nothing you're mentioning that I haven't already addressed.

Kroos is a good player who has been fortunate to play in 3 exceptional teams and as such have a good career.

But career and ability are two different things.

Benzema is another one at Madrid who has had an exceptional Career which is not commensurate to his ability. Khedira is Another one like that - he just happened to be around teams that are in their prime.

nobody will dare build a team around Kroos despite his glittering career.

KDB on the other hand is the MAIN man in any team he plays in. ANY.

If you want to compare Careers, then Kroos comes up top.

if you want to compare ability however.....
yes I agree, by your reasonning both Erikson and KDB are better than xavi too,I dey your side.

Yeah go on, tell us how many behind Eric
actually 2 because poch plays his 4-2-3-1 the most, I dont know for Denmark,xavi and debruyne plays in a flat 3 man midfield where fernad/busqust is the pivot,so both silva and iniesta plays exactly on the same line as KDB/xavi that is a slight variation I agree but it depends on the coach,the difference is still the quality players xavi had to play with quality midfielders, he was a luxury player that only did sidway passes.

Xavi Kroos and KDB play same role. Erickson has Dier and Dembele or Wayama or whoever it is behind him.

I'm not surprised you don't know that KDB plays a deeper role than Silva at City
debruyne has fernadihno behind him.xavi had busquest,abe stop looking for excuse please.erikson/KDB>xavi

Your previous point is quoted was saying its easy for Kroosifier because he has Ororo. aren't you sticking to that or you're dropping it like a hot potato?
by the logic of this thread Erikson is better than xavi,he had better midfield partners then he messi,so Erikson >xavi

[quote author=eph12 post=70291179]How can his role be more advanced when he has Silva in front of him? That he pushes himself upfront is because he's trying to make something happen. Not someone whose specialty is to recycle pass while Modric and Cas put in the goods[/quote/]lol see this guy,which silva,abeg stop saying trash abeg debruyne is deeper than silva?,they both roam like them just iniesta and xavi back then,so the excuse of xavi being deeper has been canceled what him better than Erikson?

Please let us not go there. grin grin grin grin
why not?,the logic of KDB being better than kroos is that he has more end product and kroos played with better teammates,the same is the case for xavi and Erikson.

I see people that define a player with stat as kids who started watching football post cr7 and Messi era. Stat is fraudulent due to so many things to be put into consideration before comparing two players playing for different club and league, so is number of trophies or trophies won to rate two players considering football is a team sport, not lawn tennis.
yes you are right Erikson> xavi

By the way Xavi has a more advanced midfielder in front of him, Erickson plays as the most advanced midfielder out of 3.
so you don't know debruyne plays advanced role than kroos before speaking blasphemy?,baba forget excuse xavi had better midfielders +messi thats why he is not better than Erikson.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by madrid5: 9:05am On Aug 15, 2018
eph KDB is also better than xavi,xavi played with better midfielder +messi

Kroos plays with Modric and Cas, KDB plays with Silva and Fernad. How is their situation different?

If people are to talk about the major difference makers in Madrid's midfield, Modric and Cas would be mentioned first and second before Kroos. Do you agree?
casemero is only mention over kroos in the place where you drink shekpe grin

So can we safely trash those points of winning the Champions League back to back? Because if there was a swap, Madrid will still have a much higher chance of winning the Champions League than City, even with best player Kroos
so by your logic who is the better player between prime erikson and xavi?

It's not a point sister, it's a simple question.
a question which I have trashed,kroos at 24 before real Madrid has already played at a higher level than debruyne now.

One is really a central midfielder, the other is really an attacking midfielder. The central midfielder as expected is better in possession while the attacking midfielder scores more and makes more assists.
They are both world class but one is more accomplished than the other by virtue of the teams he has played in. This question has no answer.
I repeat if KDB is better than kroos by virtue of his end product and playing in lesser teams then Erikson is better than xavi.

You all bringing up the trophies yeah? So imagine kroos was at City and KDB was at Madrid this period, which of those teams would have been a safer bet to win the Champions League?
kroos won a world cup and a champions league(played 2 finals) before he came to Madrid,so this point is totally false

you think kroos only performs in real Madrid?, where was debruyne in 2014 world cup when kroos was the best midfielder at age 24?
