Like Capoue ;)

But he's a regular, playing well, Monchengobblegobblegobblebach are 3rd and he was hailed as the scoop of the season in Germany ... there's no way he's leaving in Jan and unlikely in the summer, unless for stupid money.

Wouldn't take more than 15m imo. That said, I don't think he's at all suited to the EPL..

He's got decent stats but I haven't seen him play. If we do try and sign him, lets hope Baldini doesn't confuse him with the dud version Robbie Kruse (same age) at Leverkusen lol

Bit harsh on Robbie :p He was Australian u23 player of the year don't you know! But in all seriousness, he's still a decent talent and has done well off the bench for Leverkusen, was a good player for Düsseldorf too

Robbie Kruse got a bad knee injury recently so he's out all season, judging by our penchant for injured players maybe he is the target :whistle:

I wouldnt say Kruse is out of reach, if anything it would be a gamble on our part. I like him as a player though, I doubt you'd find a more hardworking CF, guy presses like a nutcase.

I really like him actually, really hope we make a move... but yeah... its quite unlikely.

I hope your being sarcastic. Max kruse is the type of striker we need right now. Sure hes not EPL proven but i would take the gamble on him his style of play would fit pochs system.

Nope. Our strikers are better. That doesn't mean Max Kruse is a bad player, it means our strikers are better. Unless you plan on loaning out Kane.

I hope Soldado can come good, but I'd swap him for Kruse in a heartbeat given the offer and in the context of our current manager's tactics. I honestly don't see any compatibility between he and Poch whatsoever, and don't see why so many think Poch is going to somehow "fix" him. Not saying it won't happen, but just that I don't see a connection there.

Sorry, are you saying Harry Kane is better than Max Kruse? As in, German international Max Kruse. Kruse from Borussia Mönchen Gladbach?

Kruse is pretty damn awesome, actually. I don't think anyone who has watched Borussia M.Gladbach would dispute that.

I seen a fair bit of him last season and I have to agree with you. His endless work ethic and his eye for goal(dispite his little drought) really impressed me.

Isn't Kruse more of a false 9 type given how much he seems to run all over the pitch?

I just say that because I'm not sure that's what Poch is after as he seemed to prefer a more target man styled guy leading the line. If he did like someone like that I think Soldado would be good. Despite his scoring woes last season, Soldado showed me he had a stronger work rate and better eye for the pass than I expected.
