Bale cost most than Ronaldo and Ronaldo is older and would cost €400m, so Bale must be €0.5bn!
Bale is on huge wages, if he isn't going to play ahead of Mbappe then I see sense in shifting him before he hits 30. I don't think they need to get 100m+ for that to make sense, although they might well want big money
Says United will not be signing Bale. Article states that Jose thinks Bale wants to stay and that he is unwilling to go head-to-head with the inflated budgets deployed by clubs like City or PSG.
Those two reasons would, if anything, suggest we are looking to sign him. Setting our stall out that Bale has to show willingness and we won't pay silly money.
I have trouble believing this.
Castles might be ITK but he doesn't know everything has been wrong on a lot of things in the last year.
Has Castles been really reliable this summer? Maybe he's just putting out information that Jose wants him to put out rather than the actual truth, but he hasn't made many meaningful insights this summer I think.
So pre-emptively saving face in case we try and fail to sign him. Yes we like him but wont even bother because he doesn't want to leave (secretly sends fax to madrid).
Bale need to show a desire to join us and if that's the case, I agree. Players need to want to play for us.
Fletcher sold to Boro.
These are my thoughts as well. It's like Jose telling Perez "I want to buy him, but you need to reconsider your expectations for him" and also telling Bale to force a move that will facilitate our negotiation with Madrid.
If Neymar leaves, Barça are willing to spend everything on Mbappé
Well hopefully you're right. We really need a player of Bale's quality if we are serious about winning the league.
Don't believe it, Woody has had a hardon for Bale for years. If he's available, Woody would be all over it.
He wanted to be the same like Rashford
Over Perez's dead body.
Agreed 100% its bordering on insanity now the way ppl want to believe this could happen .
The guy has never shown any interest in us n Jose has said time n time again it isn't an option yet ppl can't accept it
Benzemá will renew in a short time(he has until 2019,it would be until 21 o 22), untouchable for Zidane and the club
Honestly I think the club is good at judging youth prospects these days. Lot of us rated Fletcher highly. Now, it just appears that he ain't that good.
I don't really think Bale will be too fussed about leaving. i think part of it is not wanting to be seen as a failure but I've been reading reports (probably made up) that his wife wants to return to Britain.
The club wanted to keep him. His contract ran out and he didn't renew.
It was a strange decision for him to go to West Ham. If he wanted to leave to get first team football then he should have dropped down to the championship to get regular starts rather then a dozen substitute appearances. Especially for a striker, they need a run of games to get sharpness.
I think we would have offered him a Januzaj like contract if he was that good. I think more first team opportunities is what he wanted and we weren't prepared to offer the same here.
Bale is what, 29? and a pace merchant that's an injury crock now and doesn't really want to leave Real
steer clear
steer clear
Exactly. He wouldn't get many opportunities at any PL club.
Never really noticed it before but Benzema with hair looks a bit like Shia Labeouf
He comes up with this shit despite Jose stating numerous times that Ed is in control of transfers. As if Jose would turn down Bale if Ed said he would buy him. I think it's a smokescreen. Jose is just playing hard to get because he knows RM will rape us for Bale. I also don't think for a moment that the DDG saga is over either. RM are plotting their course and DDG is part of it, sooner or later. Could play into a Bale agreement.
Obviously Bale is a great player, but the whole Real Madrid/Perez circus and obviously inflated fee perhaps wouldn't be worth it especially since it will probably be fairly straight forward to get Griezmann next summer. Given that Bale is 3 years older and perhaps more so in Football years because of wear and tear and all his injuries and he'd cost 20-30m more at least. There's also the De Gea factor. I'd prefer to do no business with them.
They would give us a good blow but I think they are a bit late.
If Neymar leaves,will they sign Coutinho, or only if he stays, to get him a friend?
Meanwhile a portion of the caf thinks that every strikers under the sun would/should bench him.
Robert Fernández (Barça football director) likes Hazard a lot and could be an option if Neymar leaves
Wow nearly 34 already then.
