To be honest i’d not be happy if United signed any player who is currently sidelined with a serious injury that’ll keep him out until the New Year, I rate Stootman and I believe if he fully recovers he’ll be an excellent addition to the squad but the bottom line really is that we need players who’ll come in and make a difference from the start of the season!
Kroos has to be the number 1 midfield target and if Van Gaal is willing to pay €35m for a currently injured Strootman then i’m sure Bayern will take a similar fee for Kroos, in any case I believe that United should wait until Strootman has fully recovered before they sign him should that be at during the winter transfer window or preferably next summer when we’ll have been able to assess whether or not his current injury has affected his game in any way.
finally on a side note last nights Holland Spain match was the 1st time I really watched Martin Indi, Blind and De Frij with all 3 impressing although i’ll stop short of saying we should sign them all based on a single match even if it was against Spain. My own preference would be for United to sign Hummels, Garay and Koke along with Kroos and Shaw, with these 5 signings United will not only guarantee Champions League football but they’ll challenge for title too.

I don’t think Man United will get him even in January, I wouldn’t rule out a move forever but he will be at Roma for at least another season, Guaranteed. This Strootman link is based on the good relationship he has with Van Gaal. You see pictures of Van Gaal Van Persie and Strootman at this game together and we know he rates him highly , so that’s why these rumors have so much leg, but I don’t think Roma will consider any bid to be honest. It has taken them awhile but they are in Europe now and he was one of their best players leading up to it before his awful injury. We would be silly not to get another Center Mid, because we are waiting for this guy.
