Can we stop going overboard about this please.Bale does not want to come to United so can we please just delete him from the forum and the thread. He almost enjoys turning us down,
Sure, Bale hasn't gone out of his way to try to force his club to sell him to us. But he's also never actually declined an offer from us. For all the interest we have had in him, none of the clubs he has been at have ever accepted an offer from us, so he's never had a contract offer from us in front of him. As such he would have had to refuse to go to Spurs or Real, and then demanded to be sold to us. That might have worked at Southampton (but he was a young leftback and we had the best in the world in that position so why would he fight to come sit on our bench?), but it would have been extremely difficult at Spurs and he would have had to cause huge fuss to get Levy to even think about selling to us. How many players in the world would have refused the Real Madrid world record offer in that situation?
Like I said, he hasn't pissed off his clubs and tried to force a sale to us. Sure, we aren't his absolute first choice. If you want to bring that up, fine. But the way some people on the forum go on about it it's like he's had three or four actual contract offers on the table in front of him and he's ripped them up and refused to ever play for us.
