PEAK modric was good enough for barcelona or any team imo. However, every since he arrived there, his role has always been more defensive than before. Kroos is more like an old Xabi Alonso. With space and time, can pick out any pass, but defensively, very bad and very slow.
Barca midfield is already slow with Busquets and having Busquets and Kroos would mean counter attacks galore.
Rakitic is slow as fuck as well and gets burned on the break all the time.
This idea that he is some great defensive player is a total myth.
Kroos would help the team keep the ball better and require less defending from the team in same way Pep approached it with Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets.
