Bale is not worth the fee you would have to pay to get him imo.

Football's a funny game. Last season he's one of the best in the world, but now he's not good enough? 13/14 Bale and 14/15 Bale is basically one and the same. The good and the bad. A bit less effective in terms of goals and assists but that's it (And that's mostly because of Real as a collective. Real was the best team of 2014 by far, they made scoring goals look ridiculously easy. 2015 Real have become mortal again.). Bale's entire season was defined by his goal against Barca in the Copa final, and scoring the 2-1 in the CL final. All of a sudden everything that happened before, the criticism and the questioning of whether he suited Real, was erased.

But I have to say, his work rate has dropped. But whether that is because of Ancelotti's instructions or Bale's ego, that's all speculation.

Playing on the right doesn't help him though. It doesn't suit him. His deficiencies become all the more apparent. But I wonder if he's willing to play on the left again, where I think he's at his best. He won't score as much on the left, he might not like that.

That's just sad. Bale is a decent man, I feel for him.

Can't help but think this will end up like Owen. Some good moments but never going to work.

In Spain there is a totally unjustified campaign against Bale. Maybe he's not having the same performance he had in England, but if we see their stats I think are pretty good.

To my Bale has two problems in Spain:

1. Real Madrid is a team built to revolve around Ronaldo. Any player who attacks the ego of Ronaldo's dead.

2. press attacks against Bale are attack against President Perez. Bale is his big bet and he is used to sink Perez.

Regarding those two fans, the truth is that they are only two drunks who have had a totally stupid behavior. Not only have they tried to attack Bale, also they have tried Jese. Two drunken clowns. Real Madrid fans are not the best in the world, but they are not violent people. Two fools do not represent all.

I think we all remember Bale's performance in England with Tottenham. To my Bale was probably the third best player in the world, behind only Messi and Ronaldo.

At position of RW we have it without an undisputed player, so maybe we should look at the market to get an indisputable player. For me Messi and Bale are my favorite player for that position.

The big problem for his signing is the highest price that Real Madrid would ask for it. I doubt that Real Madrid sold to Bale for one euro less than the amount they paid Tottenham.

Marca completely destroyed him today in their pages. Didn't even rate his performance and said Perez overpayed for him. "It's obvious Perez has paid €100m for someone worth €20m. They've bought a car for the price of a bike."

I reckon he'll be off in the summer. Jose do your job!

If we had Bale on the team,I am quite sure that Bale and Hazard would rotate during the games.Hazard likes to switch to the right wing,so Bale could rotate to the left,whcih would make us unpredictable.We need a world class RW,in order to be a world class team.There is no way around that.Also,Cesc could make so many assists to Bale,omg...

If he is available,he should come to us because he would be the solution for our long term RW position.Otherwise,try to get Messi(if he really is available),or Depay.

I don't want Chelsea to pay the moon for broken good Real reject.

1. Bale has had sports hernia in Real. You all know what it is right? The one that killed Kaka and Lampard from their prime.

2. Bale will be 26. Diminished resale value.

3. Bale bulked up too much and lost a few foot in his step.

4. Bale's game built around his pace (i.e. Kaka, Torres) and he now lost it. (Did you guys not see Pique, yes freaking Pique!! and Alba outpaced him during El Clasico?)

5. Real will demand crazy amount of money.

No, please just no. We already experienced from Shevchenko and Torres, and do it once again? You need to catch a lesson from history.

[Jase 43,479]

Can he track back and provide balance to the team...?

[Open 45]

Europe's elitist clubs have a world class front three, by signing Bale I think we'd join that category of Barcelona, Bayern and Real.

Like RW no, please. Bale is one of the last wingers that is better in his natural side. Player in the right, he can do some good action, but his overall game, the 95% of the games is very, very poor.

For make you a example, look this action yesterday:

This action for the left, with his good foot, would be finish in a assist to Ronaldo. And like this, he had some actions in Real Madrid and all finish in the same, in nothing, because he don't have any hability with his right foot, aditionally, is a very vertical, is not a player that you can expect a pause to think a better finishing of the action, no, he always go to the front, that is why is ideally that he playing in their natural band where can solve quickly.

And this is the other problem, for the left, we have Hazard.

I dont Know but i'm not sure. For a good price, but for 80 million or something like that.....

Rather bid for reus tbh. We need more intelligent players in our attack.

That's not to say bale won't improve us, he will.

[oldportblue 547]

if we had allowed Salah to play his normal game he would have been similar to Bale and much cheaper

wow i've read it all now... is this a joke?

[lionsden 4,689]

He's united bound imo. I would rather we go after a technical winger with end product anyway. A productive version of william, if you will.

Agreed.

I don't think it is mainly because he is playing on the right though, it is more to do with the fact he is just like CR7, just a poor version of him. Real Madrid does not need another runner/poacher out wide. They played their best football when Bale was injured, and Isco/James played opposite of CR7. He is a finisher the less he is involved in the buildup the better for the team.

I think he would work great here, we have the opposite problem of Madrid. We have too many players that like to be on the ball and get involved in the buildup no one makes those vertical runs behind the defenders here except Costa of course. William, Oscar, Hazard, and Cesc all their primary game is to get involved in the buildup.

But United have a major hard on for Bale, it is rumored they were going to pay more then Madrid for him. But Bale wanted a move to Spain. I think Perez will recoup a lot of money from this signing. So i don't see us landing him, because how much he would cost.
