Different story when Coutinho's at barcelona though.
Gareth Bale | Mourinho: "Game over. Now everyone knows he's going to stay."

He'd be looking for 250K+ pw and im not sure pool could handle the domino effect it would cause
True.
I understand the perspective. But he is written into their club lore already - he scored the go ahead goal for La Décima. Granted that match outcome became a moot point after Ramos scored.
I guess for me he is one of a batch of players that are a dominant European Madrid for the first time in almost 20 years.
Being a part of that team is certainly a more noteworthy career than being with Spurs and maybe winning the league the year Leicester won. Spurs are not a global brand in the way Madrid is.
Another post earlier also mentions his Wales career being significant more than his time with Spurs. I agree there too
I personally thought Ramsay was better than him in the euros.
Agree
Despite what you'd think upon reading a lot of comments here, if he signed, there would be an absolute frenzy of excitement. The match going fans would be all over it, and BALE 7 or whatever, would be everywhere.
He wouldn't be seen as very much a step down from their top boy, he'd come in as top dog alongside Pogba.
But it can soon turn into ugly mess with him being ill motivated being forced out of his preferred club, and of course injuries. Big hope can easily turned into bigger disappointment. So the gamble has to be careful assessed. The latest data is that Bale is finding it tougher to shake off his injuries & he has less impact in an improved Madrid team.
While I certainly believe Bale is under-rated a bit, he's not on the level of Messi and Ronaldo. Those two are freaks, and we probably won't see anyone else reach those levels for a long time.
A fit Bale is (was?) up there with Neymar as the best of the rest though. The big question is whether he can get over these injury issues, and whether the injuries he has had have already taken away from his game. There were moments in the pre-season match against us where he didn't seem to have that same blinding speed that he used to, but that easily may have just been because it was the first game and he wasn't properly fit yet.
His speed levels etc would have to thoroughly tested in any medical before any new club agrees to his fee. If he's fit and can sustain it, hes a genuine world class game changer. I've heard people say he was rushed back too quickly last time by real. Maybe just needed a rest to recuperate fully. If the club after his medical are happy then it's a no brainer. Would also take pressure of the likes of lukaku also. We need goals from multiple sources and that's something he'd give us
I feel a bit sad for Bale. This last injury has been terrible for him.
For his moral and for the opinion that fans have about him.
I think the Guardian wrote that the club told him that Mbappé is not coming this year.
Bale with more malice,upset for the critics,with pressure for his place could be a beast,if he could stay at least 3 or 4 months without injuries.
Unfortunately every time that he sprints or shot I think that he will break again.
He has been good for Madrid and doesn't deserve an ugly exit but on the other hand his situation with injuries and with top player condition(to be in the line up,massive wages,etc) is not sustainable for too long.

Pretty much sums it up
Also kinda funny that his greatest moment for us came in one of his absolute worst games for us(Lisbon)
Maybe it's silly but I always felt that some players bring luck to the teams and Bale was one of them
We enjoyed a 85% version of Bale.I would have liked to see him playing more on the left or the middle.
We already saw him in his best position(free role, mostly down the middle). It's where he plays whenever Cristiano is out. And most of those times he was a barbarianMaybe it's silly but I always felt that some players bring luck to the teams and Bale was one of them

Who is Ando?Ando
Our former wonder kid player, Anderson. Even under Moyes, before he was sent on loan, we didn't do too bad. Dropped off the cliff since he was moved on in term of luck. SAF must have known something here...
Apparantely he has told Modric that he is "ready" to move to Utd. If he joins us, I have no doubt that he would elevate us and we would win the title.
where did you see this?
Both quoting Don Balon.
Don Balon reliable?
Absolutely not.
Ramsey was fecking immense in the Euros. I remember us being linked with him the same summer and if it was that version of Ramsey we could have got it would have been brilliant.
Ahh ffs, I saw this and got excited until I saw the source.
but will Bale want to leave? not so sure
Well that came out of nowhere
We are linked to Bale like every day of the year?
Well without Cristiano playing tomorrow then Bale surely will play.
He won't be cup tied if he plays that tomorrow though will he?
He won't be cup tied if he plays that tomorrow though will he?
Yes but usually from the Star/Express... Big for Jose to be so open and honest about a player, normally he keeps his mouth shut until the player is signed
Yeah. I didn't think there was anything to it because of how we are always linked to him every summer. Just like with the Ronaldo return that never happens. Mourinho talking about signing him is another thing altogether though.
Maybe Jose wants to make sure Real plays an unfit Bale.

Can a player play in UEFA competition for more than one club in the same season?
As a rule, a player may not play in a UEFA club competition (UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, excluding UEFA Super Cup) for more than one club in the course of the same season. However, a player can play for one club in the first, second and third qualifying round, and/or the play-offs, of the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League, and then represent another club from the group stage of either competition.
He should be, hence the implication from a Jose that if they play him tomorrow, it means they want him to stay because they can't sell him to a top club if he's cup tied for the champions league.
EDIT: post above says he won't be. Maybe Jose meant that they wouldn't risk him picking up an injury if they want to sell him? God knows.
No lol. Real aren't stupid enough to be taken in by mind games as obvious as that.
We don't need Bale and Bale wants to be at Madrid where he can be injured and still be able to collect Champions League medals.
Out of the blue... Interesting by Mou.
Sounds like typical Jose mind games for the Super Cup.
