That would be the biggest bending over in transfer market history
Not gonna happen. Press pulling at straws again.
This has been going on pretty much since Bale was born but I actually think it might happen this summer
Just bring him here already. Sick of hearing this now.
No.
I've been against this for a while but looking at the market I don't think its such a bad idea.
There is a serious lack of top quality attainable right midfielders or forwards atm. The best choices right now are probably Mahrez, Malcom, Willian, Zaha and while they are good players, I think we need the wide player we buy to be our main threat from the wing. Whoever we buy in that list will fall very short of Salah, Hazard and Sanchez. We need someone with star quality.
Bale has star quality and at 28 I don't believe he's lost it. RVP got over his injuries at that age and his next 3 seasons were sensational. Bale needs to feel loved again and Mourinho and the PL adore Bale.
Obvious problem is wages and transfer fee as it is a risky option.

Wanted him in the summer, but seeing as he's going through yet another injury plagued summer, I think we'd be absolute mugs to buy him at this point.
Which is why we probably will.

We need to stay clear of Bale to prosper in the long term.
This is like the mother of bad ideas.
20 million, and I'd take him. Anything more, and it will be the most ridicilous decision since appointing Moyes.
Fixed it for you.
So here's the thing. I want you guys to give us a lot of money for him, because he's a crock. But if he stays healthy with you i'll be pissed off like a honey badger
Truly a quandary this i'm in

This transfer what would sum up what has been wrong with United these past years.
We should be looking to sign the next big star and not short term solutions to jump above city right away.

20 mil? Jonny Evans costs more than that now.
You've had his best football at this point.So here's the thing. I want you guys to give us a lot of money for him, because he's a crock. But if he stays healthy with you i'll be pissed off like a honey badger

He's no Robben. So in this case, very big chance he's gonna stay crock as it is. I hope he rejuvenate his performance in later year on his contract just for renew again with Madrid for another big fat check and keep being crock again.
Ripped Premier League defences new arseholes in the past and has potenital to do it again if stays fit, but If United pay more than £50m for him Madrid will be shafting us.
He was vital in the run-in of the 11th. What you're saying is you hope he wins his 4th CL with us
I don't think this is going to solve our problems. I wouldn't condone shelling out so much for him either.
Loan him for 5 months.
Bale would elevate our team to another level if he could stay fit.
Worth the risk if Real play fair regarding the fee. Any deal involving De Gea is an absolute no-no of course.

Is there a (realistic) price people would consider taking this risk of a signing? £50m? £60m?
A loan the same as Bayern have with James to see if he's not been completely ruined by the injuries and can stay fit for more than 6 or 7 games.
Good shout tbf.
If he can't be fit in Spain, how the hell can he cope with the prem....
Too much bad blood between both teams for anything sensible like a loan move....they will try to shaft us with a 60-70m price tag....
Hmmm somewhere between 30-40. We know fit Bale is an absolute game changer and i’d Hate to think of his value now if he was still putting in performances like he used to. Fit Bale hasn’t been seen that often so it’s a risk. Wonder if Jose would play him at LWB tho.
Most likely in which case we should stay well clear, he's the Phil Jones of wingers, only getting near 30 so the chances of a decline from all the injuries becomes greater and harder to come back from, plus as you say if he can't stay fit in La Liga he's going to struggle even more getting chunks kicked out of him by the likes of West Brom, Burnley and Watford.
Really really don't want bale. We'd be buying what we hope he can be rather than what he is. Would have loved him at the time Real signed him, but not now
Agreed
This has Hargreaves mk II all over it.
He would be a nightmare of nightmare signing for us, with him being 29 and more injury prone than Jones and Smalling combined and for a reported fee of £60m would be nothing short of criminal.
Signing Bale is not a bad gamble to make if and only if he will accept a pay cut. There is hardly any wide forward available today that is on his level. As a cushion I'd also sign Ozil on a bossman who can play as a wide forward too if Bale doesn't work out. Let's be real £60m in today's market is bread for a player of his calibre.
In January though I'd love to see us go for Mahrez, Goretzka and Sandro. Goretzka now because in summer it would be harder with the likes of Bayern lurking around. Sandro will be easier to sign I reckon if we pay up. I believe we have a relationship with Juve and I'd love to see us maximize that in this regard. Signing Mahrez in January on the other hand would require Mahrez showing that he wants this move badly.
In the summer, I'd love to see our starting eleven look like this:
I reckon Goretzka, Ozil, Bale, Mahrez, Sandro and Meunier would cost us around £260 in two windows whilst shipping out the likes of Shaw, Blind, Mkhitaryan, Mata, Fellaini and Darmian for around £60m.
If signing Bale is a bad idea then maybe we can look at Di Maria who I reckon would not look out of place under a manager that plays to his strenghts and allows him express himself rather than one that always insists on safe passing on top of playing him as second striker today, right winger tomorrow, left wing back the following day and then deep attacking playmaker the other day.
Bottom line is to make our attack more fluid, we need (not one but) two world class wide attacking players. If we were playing a classic 4-4-2 ala Simeone's Atleti or Ranieri's Leicester, then having a hard working Lukaku supporter like Griezmann would be ideal with Mahrez on the right and Martial on the left. Problem here is that you need a double pivot here and so having a Fabinho play alongside Matic rather than Pogba would be ideal and Pogba is the last person you'd want to shaft to the sidelines.
If we must build the team around maximising the abilities of Pogba and Matic then we need to sign two world class wide attackers. That's my case for us considering the option of signing Bale.
Apologies for the long post.

You are probably asking, where is Lukaku? I really do think the fluidity of that front three would be very mesmerising and with the balance that the midfield trio would provide, I'd back this team to win the league next season. Considering what we are up against given City's form and likelihood to sign more players in the coming windows, we've got to show some ruthlessness in deciding who starts and who doesn't and also who we sign and who we resign.Meunier Baily Rojo Sandro
Ozil Matic Pogba
Mahrez Martial Bale

Everything in me says no. Injury prone in soft league like spain where players of barca and real half of their games play in second gear, expensive, refused us couple of times but..... i want that kind of winger so much and so long so i would take him. But for 50 mil max.
I'd only entertain the idea of signing him if we could get him for a reasonable fee (~£30m) and reasonable wages (~£200k)
Anything more is too much of a gamble. If he were to sort his fitness out and become a key player we'd give him an improved contract. But we shouldn't take the risk otherwise.

If you thought we brought Lukaku for 75 to just to be on the bench, as many of us would see it as bad business. However, let's get to the facts, Lukaku is really monster striker that can draw out more defenders and dominate in ariels and could score a lot of goal coming from the header if we get wing/fullback that can cross with high accuracy rate and is very powerful but is martial kind of striker like that? Bale or Ozil on the left wing? They can't perform so well on the left wing and not good as on the right wing.
Could be a great addition for United. He's still a crocking player.
So here's the thing. I want you guys to give us a lot of money for him, because he's a crock. But if he stays healthy with you i'll be pissed off like a honey badger
Truly a quandary this i'm in
When you buy Neymar for £250m in the summer, in the most shady deal of recent times, you'll soon forget Bale
Yeah definitely is a crock.
