I guess according to metro we have had 10 or more bids accepted for Bale already so I don't know why we still need to push it...

One week ago we were close: http://metro.co.uk/2015/05/11/chelsea-close-in-on-80million-transfer-of-unsettled-real-madrid-star-gareth-bale-5191180/

Earlier we were about to bid 90m: http://metro.co.uk/2014/11/12/chelsea-set-to-make-transfer-offer-for-90m-real-madrid-ace-gareth-bale-4946124/

I don't know why anyone even reads metro...

BALE TO PSG/UNITED...

I would pay 80mil for Bale

Jake Cohen at WAGNH calculated the other day that Chelsea have about 130 million to spend this summer. It looks like he's researched on the FFP limitations and recent squad transfers and come up with that number.

Chelsea can afford to spend 130 million this summer

In that case, I wouldn't mind the club attempting to sign Bale since the squad doesn't have many glaring areas in need of reinforcements. Bale is a top player and I think he would take charge of games and win the club matches on his own. He's still 25, has thrived in England, has very good shooting and finishing skills. I don't see any alternative that's close to Bale for the right wing.

agree with you but United have the upper hand because they can use DeGea to broker a deal. Since money isn't an issue for them, I can see Bale as their new number 11.

Didn't bale play left winger/cam when he had his best season at Spurs?

He can play anywhere in the front 3

[Mechromancer 262]

Yeah, but his ideal position is the 10. In that role Bale reach the next level with AVB. In the second half of the 2012-13 season

Bale reach the next level with AVB

For a moment I thought you are joking. But hey, AVB did manage Bale once.

AVB is a great manager, mate. Bale in the 10 position was his idea.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Apparently he will stay at Real

Apparently he will stay at Real
