Not that I think that Bale will sign for us, but the agent doesn't reference us at all. He's basically saying "Bale's not leaving Madrid" which is true, until his narrative changes to "Bale didn't want to leave Madrid, but Madrid didn't want him anymore".

Does he look like a sport agent?
Chelsea FC are very happy to announce the signing of Renato Sanches and wish him good luck on his loan to Boavista Porto or was it AFC Bournemouth. We´ll get back to you.
I want Barcelona to spend the Neymar money to sign Mbappe just to see the meltdown of Perez and Real fans.
No they need to buy Coutinho, the melt down would be much more fun.
He looks like he's wearing a cheap disguise!Jonathan Barnett

He's been very mouthy in the past about Bale not wanting to leave Madrid/join us. He's going to look a tit when he has to come cap in hand to us cos Madrid don't want their toy any more....because let's face it, in terms of size of club we are the least of a 'step down' than any of the others (given that Barca won't be an option) and I would think that we will be top of Bale's list.
Not as fun as Liverpool buying Bale with the Coutinho money.
Perfect
They actually have to pay his wages too.Not as fun as Liverpool buying Bale with the Coutinho money.
They dont have that sort of money.
How do these blokes get their agenting gigs? Glowing tan, buttons popped, fake nose + glasses disguise. These guys live it.Jonathan Barnett

They would at least get 90 million from Coutinho... of course they would have that money.
Coutinho's their current highest earner on £150k p/w. Bales wage at Madrid is £350k p/w. Even with the Coutinho money Liverpool can't afford that on top of the transfer fee, it would utterly destroy their wage structure as well.
Liverpool signing Bale?! Love a good comedy post.
Miguel needs blacklisting. He's the worst journalist on the planet.
I second this.
I third this.
Agreed
Announce Bale
Chelsea getting Bakayoko and possibly in for Sanches while we continue to do nothing in a position we need to strengthen. What are we doing? It's two weeks until the start of the season, lack of planning is evident here.
Truly shit article again. An horrific Delaney article is a daily occurrence in here.
It's a farce isn't it. I genuinely think we don't really know who to sign. Even if we couldn't sign Jose's first or second choices, surely we could've signed SOMEONE to do the job we need?
Neither are defensive midfielders.
Fourth
Well if they get Sanches in as well, it'll almost definitely mean Matic will be free to leave. Castles wrote earlier that Chelsea wanted another midfielder along with Bakayoko before selling Matic, so maybe that's what's causing the hold up for his transfer to us.
We aren't signing Sanches. He won't come here with the competition he'd face to get into the XI. He has to know that he needs to play every week which he won't here.
I didn't say we needed those 2 players. But I'm of the opinion that we need a holding centre mid to fully balance our midfield.
Thanks for the input though
Im thinking this Neymar deal is just a way for him to wind up at Real. Obviously he cant go straight from Barca but my bet is he is there in a season or two.
Thank you UEFA for easing my fears. The fact that poor little Neymar might have been imprisoned in Spain for a pittance was keeping me awake at night
If a 200m pound transfer, to a club whose revenue isn't close to the worlds biggest clubs, isn't breaking FFP, then Uefa may as well come out and admit that FFP is dead.
To be perfectly honest, if they also sell players for tons of money, than I can see why it would be OK.
Not that FFP is alive or matters, of course. It's a joke.
I agree, utter garbage!
Isn't it just that what got us into this mess. Signing people to do a job rather than exact targets to fill the role we need. I'd rather wait for a season and let our young players fill in than pick up some deadweight that will need selling again in a year or 2
