In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Real will probably offer a paltry £30m, I think Spurs will not take less than 60
Thought they'd just moved him centeally prior to the goal. They saw the ridiculously high line from Newcastle and profited. Could Pardew not see what they were trying to do?
we definitely can't afford him right?
Of course we can. If we wanted him, I truly believe we could get him (And I'm choosing to ignore some of the silly rumors of Bale not liking us or SAF).
He's one of the few players I'd happily have us go out and bid big money for. 40 million is perfectly reasonable for a player of this quality. An addition like that to a side like ours would be pretty incredible. We've been terrorising teams at times with our amount of goals so far this season, can you seriously imagine how crazy it would be with Bale in our side too? (And that's a season where our wingers have all been average for most of it).
This summer will be the decider IMO. If we don't go in for him then, then I don't think we ever will. I still expect Spurs to get CL football and he'll stay there.
Lovely touch by Bale there but Ofcourse he's all pace etc..
It won't be about whether or not we can afford him; there's just not a chance Levy will sell to us.
The finish for the second was also quality.
The chance to replace Giggsy at OT maybe too tempting for Bale. He has said that in the past that Giggsy is his idol.
At Levy prices? No.
As I posted some pages back, IF we want him but one of the Spanish teams go for him in the summer then I think we should leave it alone - let them deal with Spurs and we can look at him again the following season (particularly if he struggles over there).
But if an English side go for him, then maybe we'd have to get involved - which would be costly up against City and Chelsea
That's IF we want him.
If we wanted him, we bid big for him and he also wanted the move, then there would be very little Levy could eventually do if both the player and us really made the effort to make it happen.
I'm not confident of any of that ever happening though.
I think he's well on his way to becoming a supreme player. I would love to have him here. Only silly money would get Levy's attention though.
Missed a sitter with his right - sell him.
When he's in this sort of form you can see where the hype comes from he was great today.
The stats say so- Walcott is better.
Bit like comparing Wilshere and Cleverley, while one is a good player, the other have the potential truly frightening.

Levy will laugh at a £40m bid, he's going to milk every penny out of the club who goes after Bale.
'Is there a better player in world football right now?'
It's fecking outrageous. I like Bale and think he's a superb player but Jesus Christ.
Who said that?
Yes, to us!
Match winning performance today, excellent. Spurs needed it, with Dempsey looking like a complete waste of space.
i don't think bale improves our chances head and shoulders above what it is already in europe. wilshere on the other hand.....
Elegant in the sense that he always looks in control of what he's doing - in sharp contrast to Walcott. He still makes some poor/selfish decisions but he's completely comfortable in the build-up and can score from all angles 20 yards out. Walcott still struggles with the former and rarely scores out of nothing. Walcott's just finishing off some nice work from Cazorla while Bale's stuck with Dempsey.
looks good today. On form player at the moment

Dave Jones, Sky presenter doing this match.

The presenter. Can't think of his name.
8 in his last 9 for us now
and 7 in 9 for wales
That's 15 goals in his last 18 games for club and country. That'd be phenomenal even for a striker.

Jeff Stelling was saying Bale is better than Ronaldo. And whilst the rest of them didn't quite agree with that they unanimously said he was the hottest property in world football right now or something like that. But then they really don't know anything outside of the pl, we all know that.
We're him and Wilshire short of being an amazing team.
One can but dream...

Unless he does an RVP ("I will sign only for United"), there is no chance we'll go for him. Not about the money either...just that I seriously doubt we'd do business with spurs/Levy
What a joke. He's not even in the top 5 attacking players in the premier league maybe not top 10, let alone the rest of the world
He's a great player in fantastic form but my god how people like to overhype him.

He's comfortably in the top 10 attackers in the league, no question about that right now. Maybe top 5 at a push.
All of this hype is just insane though. I feel sorry for Bale. Even if he's a bit arrogant he's just trying to play the best he can but he receives all of this ridiculous hype.
You never know, he might just pull the same trick. I don't see why he'd want to leave the PL though, as if he went to another league he'd have to establish himself all over again. I'm expecting Real Madrid to come in for him sooner rater than later though.
He's clearly in the top5 attacking players in the Premiership. To state otherwise is deluded. He's been carrying Spurs this season.
It's bizarre that people still say someone like Silva is better than him despite Bale outperforming Silva ever since Silva has been in the PL bar the 6 month period where he was pretty good.

The presenter asks if he could now play in any team and Ginola says he's not sure because Spurs have built around him. Then fecking Redknapp pipes up that teams will pay him £200k pw because he's the 'crown jewel of the prem'.Next week Redknapp will say Suarez is up there with Messi. Don't take anything he says seriously.
Without of doubt he's one of the best players in league at moment arguably the most wanted as well.
Perfect galactico for Perez to appease the fans with in the summer after the failure of winning feck all this season.
Yup with Di Maria coming here. I can honestly see this happening.
