If he does go to Madrid, like others have said, it's hard to imagine any one of Ronaldo, Bale, Mbappe sitting on the bench for most of the season. You don't smash/double your transfer record to have someone like Mbappe sit on the bench
Not sure i'd even pay that for him now. What was the last, even noteworthy thing he did on a football pitch?
Ye. He's sponsored by Adidas too, isn't he?
Which is an insane reflection on the inflation that we're seeing in football.
In the years since he left Tottenham, he's no longer a player with his peak years ahead of him, he's had lots of injuries and hasn't really moved up on the "good-very good-excellent-world class" scale (that I just invented), yet his value has somehow increased.
Who was the last Real Madrid player we bought?
If there was the smallest chance we could get Asensio, then I'd drive Mbappé to Madrid myself. Fantastic talent, and in a market of such uninspiring wingers, he's one that would be worth a fair amount. Hazard-lite.
With the way city are spending/ recruiting and our lack of investment they will finish above us as well Chelsea, as at the moment we have just broken even in terms of our transfer dealings. Poor
Thomas Gravesen.
I'd prefer Sanchez too, but that deal looks impossible to get done. Apparently he prefers City to us if he stays in England, and if push comes to shove certainly Arsenal and Wenger would probably prefer him to go to City over us too (although their obvious preference will be shipping him out of the Premier League to another country for a good price)
It's about who the buyer is. We seem desperate. And besides, the market is for sellers. Such rubbish available to the point where Inter have the nerve to try and ask for £50m plus Martial for Ivan fecking Perisic.
If Real are willing to put one of the few world class forwards on the market, they can charge what they like.
Was going to say. Probably be for Wales. He still has incredible ability, and I believe we'd see that at United, but he's been very injury prone over the last couple of years. I'd say 85M.
What? That's nonsense.
This is one of those 2+2=5 transfer rumours, isn't it? We aren't getting Bale.
They're far richer than us.
Yes but with a Mega deal like that, thats the stance that should be taken. I mean there is so much that has to happen before Bale is jettisoned by Real. So yeah, I'd play it down too. You just have to remember the Fabregas farce. The public interest embarrassed Woodward. So I think about a deal like that he'd be extremely tight lipped.
This on-going situation could potentially be holding up the Perisic deal. I cant see us going for Bale if we just signed Perisic. As Castles said, we are working within our means.
It has simply increased to hyper inflation in the market.
Surely if Madrid were going to sell anyone, it'd be Benzema.
If that isn't the case, you could definitely see Bale being sold, you don't keep a player on the bench who's wages are 600k a week.

your favourite playerAs I said it's just the way of the market now. We have to accept it or get left behind. Not to mention, we're part at fault for creating these ridiculous fees.
I think Mourinho has hinted at Bale as the one player him being happy with if it is the 3rd and only one due to possible fees involved, but Matic would be a bonus.
They would have three strikers, young ones, but strikers nonetheless.
Who could all start misfiring when shit hits the fan. With Aguero you're getting a lot of goals - guaranteed.
It's still a bit of a gamble to let Aguero go imo.
Given that Madrid sold Morata, Madrid would be mad to sell Benzema. Besides, a lot of Madrid fans thought Bale should have been benched last season for Isco.
Abu Dhabi are at least.
He doesn't fit Guardiola's ideals and his all-around game is declining.
I'd cash in on him too if possible.
(apologies for using the rolling eye smiley, I hate using that, but you don't have a blank expression one on here)
He improved in the last few months but yeah it's still a difficult decision in my opinion.
I dont think Madrid would sell us a packet of crisps at this point. Both Bale and Jose have said he is happy at Madrid in recent days so this is very much 2+2=46.7.
Also havent they made nearly €100 million of Morata and Danilo in recent weeks? Im sure they are fine for cash somehow.
No, I agree. I don't think Mbappe is a sensible transfer for City. Just confused when you said a striker short.
Yeah, i'm not saying it'll happen by any means. Just that if they were to sell one of them it'd be Bale.
Bale would be worth another world record punt. On his day he would be the best player in the league and would guarantee to lift us to crazy heights. However, it wouldn't be a guarantee because of his injury record.
If he's on the market (Bale) we should be going all in for him. Yes he will cost as much as about 100 million but he could guarantee us winning the league. He's that talented and that much of a match-winner.
Keep him fit and we'll win the league comfortably
United?
Not sure why City would brief this (the Bale part )
One of the Big Black Cocks have to go? Wonder who that would be.
They do this and fail to win the league Pep will be screwed
