Oga Fabinho is not a CM, I only highlighted his usefulness to monaco using the diff positions he plays. He's a RB.
Except that o, as things be now we need specialist @manutd rather than jackie them.

I'm quite disappointed that you just underestimated Luka Modric, you have no idea what that guy brings to the team.. Who does the running around during madrid matches.. No one is saying that Kroos isn't good (his passes are masterclass) but he'll have to be carried along or else ni**a's gonn' ghost.... Don't even forget Casemiro, dude alone caused issues for barca in el clasico..

ogbeni,not taking anything away from modric,kroos is their best midfielder

The solution is not in having specialists. In fact jackies are better, and i mean good Jackies. Messi is a Jackie who plays any forward position flawlessly including 10, Cr7 is efficient in any of 9, 7, 11, our very own Rooney was once a very good Jackie. The problem is the tactics being deployed and lots of players here lack motivation, they're all too lazy to go after the ball, get it back and move it forward.

It's not just about being the best, who does the dirty job for the team?!!!! Never ever underestimate the midfielder who does the defensive contribution, keeping pressure off the defense...... Is Casemiro the best in Madrid? but they can't underestimate what he does for the team..

then y isn't busquets rated ahead of xavi nd iniesta,yes dirty jobs needs to b done,but every midfield needs a brain..kroos is the brain for Madrid

In Reals XI, CR7, Marcelo, Modric, Sergent, Carvajal, and Casemiro are all more important than Kroos. I've realised many of you niggas here don't watch football, you judge players based on teams performance and not players actual ability and work rate. Kroos might be ahead of Modric in midfielders world ranking but thats because he plays for Germany, the best national team in the world. Start watching Madrid today, kroos in particular then come back here to tell us how much we require him at united. There was a time i'd kill for kroos tho' but in 2017, kroos is a Lazy footballer who's not needed in manchester(except the blue half)
Like seriously? Kroos has been better than Modric this season, it's no surprise that Real play badly in his absence

Xavi's passes are more like goals. You can't compare it with the 'nothing special' kroos offers madrid. Kroos would be sitting on the bench had Madrid signed Pogba.

Carrick can at least be used as a DM unlike Kroos. The thing is I don't really know where to place him in the midfield roles.
Herrera as 4 and Kross as 10...

Alright. If you think so.

I have a feeling this Celta side will run at us with a lot of energy and pawa. They'll test the keeper a number of times and the person in between those two iron frames will determine a lot.

Can Romero save a barrage of shots on target? How does he perform when under pressure? Spain is DDG's hometown so he'll be more at ease than Romero.

Romero is not in the same class as DeGea, but Romero's ability to read aerial balls and coming out to pick them before opposing players get their head to them have prevented so many dangers and possible goals from such situations. I have seen situations where I would say if that was DeGea in goal he would have stayed on his line and cause a goalmouth scamble in our box. It is not just by chance that Romero has kept many clean sheets.

DeGea is best in shot stopping with his reflexes but we have not been having many shots against us, most threats are from corner kicks, crossings and freekicks.

Same Jackies won Chelsea flawlessly, why? Because of Motivation bro. We need players who are motivated to win than some RW or DM specialists who are lackadaisical.
Watch Herrera play and you'll realise Motivation trumps special talent. We need to weed out slow useless dogs like Fellaini, Rooney, jones, smalling, carrick, shaw.

Final Verdict is Casemiro brings balance to the Madrid team,even Zidane confirmed it and has been seen again and again in matches both El Classico and Champions league.

Modric contribution is more than both distribution and crosses he spots opportunities.

Kroos more or less lies down and enjoys been carried along, dude was absent against Bayern with the likes of Thiago.

Val as RB and Fabinho as RW with the two interchanging and bombarding that right side. Fabinho is a RB Thats very fluid attacking wise. He's even their pk taker, that says alot about him.

Na wa for some kain talks. There's no need to berate Toni Kroos especially if you don't know his contributions in that midfield.

Toni kroos is a fantastic midfielder, but he has his strength and weakness; defensively, he's not good, but when it comes to assists, key passes, ball distribution to reach the intended targets, he's good at it. He's a more attacking version of Micheal Carrick. Most times they are not appreciated because they lack goals.

People saying Casmeiro is the main man in that midfield. I beg to differ. Casmeiro is very good defensively, but what about the attack? Is he going defend all through without making sure he helps in giving assists to help bring goals that win matches? Casmeiro does his own job, breaks up play, stops opponents from reaching the defence, then he allows Modric and Kroos to handle the creativity. It's division of Labour, every good team should have their combo.

Below are the stats of Modric and Kroos for this season, and Kroos has more better stats than Modric.

https://www.whoscored.com/Players/20874/Show/Luka-Modric

https://www.whoscored.com/Players/31772/Show/Toni-Kroos

Between the two, removing age barrier, I'll choose Modric over Kroos. I love his body movements, his skills, his contributions defensively, his deadly shots and goal threats, and generally, I just like him more than Kroos.

Kroos and even Modric will definitely need a Casmeiro as well or they would be overrun in the MF.

In terms of creativity then its Modric. Kroos is more like a pass master- collect the ball, look, pass, move.
