They couldn't afford his fee or his wages.
Gareth Bale | Mourinho: "Game over. Now everyone knows he's going to stay."

PSG seem to be going hard after Mbappe. So not sure how that'll work out. Obviously, Monaco would prefer to sell abroad, but they might come in with another mega-offer.
I think Madrid need to get Mbappe even more now. Perez would love to show Mbappe, while Barca sell thier star player imo. Anyway, can't see Monaco selling to PSG, when they can just sell him abroad, for the same price.
Some people would shag Scarlett Johansson and whinge she wasn't a virgin.
Get a grip.

I don't think Jose's comments are designed to put any pressure on Madrid. I'd say they are to make Bale think about it just a little bit more. Just another building block in making him think that Real Madrid don't want him anymore (which does seem to be the case). Of course, that is reliant on Real Madrid not starting him.
Based on memeory, I think they have first refusal also.
And if Bale is injured which he is it will mean nothing to him or Real.
That Zidane comment doesn't help matters to be honest. It's all on Bale's hands, if he wants to move he can, if not, then he'll be on the bench.
I think we'll get him. I'm a bit worried about it though to be honest.
I agree, he'd probably take #7. His branding is all about 11 but he could change it. Ronaldo had to take #9 when he first went to RM but later moved to #7.
If that's true, my concern is that their medical staff certainly had some saying in this. He is a big name and when injury free is a game changer so from that point I think they wouldn't sell him unless they doubt that his injury record is something which will be a permanent problem.
I mean, sure, if we decide to buy him, he will have a medical but they can't gather so many data and have a clear picture like a medical team who is working with him on a daily basis.
Don't know what to think about this one if we go for it. More worried than not, I think. Maybe to try and agree on a fee which will be mostly dependent on his appearances.
I have this feeling we'll get him too.
I'd absolutely love it, except for 1 glaring issue. I am very worried about his injury problems.
Be a nice card on FIFA though aye?

Or Jose could already know that Bale is not starting.
Could be mind game with Bale rather than Madrid.
I mean, if I was Perez, I'd sell Bale for £100 which we will inevitably pay.
It's their last chance to get mega money for him. Economically, it makes sense to sell Bale, considering his wage. So, as I said, if I was Florentino Perez, I'd be unzipped and ready.
Also, I think it's Bale's last chance of big big move. Obviously, Madrid are bigger club than us, but it's not as if he's going back to fecking Tottenham.
He will have to consider, here and now. And what if he has another injury plagued season, will the top clubs be after him with the price tag that will come with him.
I just think there are lot of things at play here. We need a winger and a Woodward's dream signing. Real need to free up squad space and it makes financial sense for them to sell. So I think that this has a good chance of happening.

Do you think he is bitter at Atletico for getting banned, or Griezmann for not being a dick to his club? Don't be silly, he isn't going to not buy a world class player because of something like that
This thread has officially become our home until the end of the window then, whether we like it or not. This will drag.
I'm all for it. A fit Bale wins you games on his own.

If we sign him and he stays fit, it's a monster signing. People forget how injury prone Van Persie was known to be before he joined us, yet he won us our last title.
This could be the summer transfer saga we all have been waiting for. Where can download newest flightradar app? Im ready.
Possibly but only after we are in the new stadium. The wages would be an issue though.
RvP's injuries stopped about 2 seasons before he moved to United iicr.
Jose also took Falcao on loan immediately after Falcao failed at United. So yes, Mourinho does get some of his decisions wrong. Well, I'm not going to list them but you should be aware of it. Secondly, Bale's fitness cannot be judged by anyone. He could be an absolute hit or he could be hanging out with Rojo and Ibrahimovic. Either way, 90m is a LOT of money. It's a huge gamble especially with the wages he would be on.
Hipster signing? Really dude? He's NOT Martial mk2... He's got a talent ceiling that's higher that Martial. We're talking about someone who is of the talent level of a Neymar which is one of the reasons why Barcelona have been bidding for him to replace Neymar. When Madrid and Barcelona are both trying to sign a player, you can't be dismissive that the player is a hipster signing. He's already more productive than what Bale was at that age. Yes, Bale is PL proven and Dembele isn't... sure... But Dembele has already proven what he's capable of in France as well as Germany as well as the Champions League. I've got no doubts in mind that Dembele will win the Balon Do'or in the next 5-6 years.
Bringing Bale in also brings along the fact that the No.11 jersey would have to be given to Bale since he's got a contract with Adidas and now I don't think it's fair for Martial to lose his jersey for the second season running. That dented his confidence last summer and he's starting to rebuild it and get back to what he was capable of.
I agree with you on this that bringing Bale and having him fight for the same position as Mhiki could perhaps benefit the both of them as that would bring out the best. But, Bale wouldn't be my first choice.
Not sure if i can take another Muppet thread....
But what else should i do at work?
I'm in!

I agree. Agree also that Pogba is worth to us not just as a player but from a marketing side of things.
But... The club will make the most money if it's successful. The club can make a good use of the player for marketing purposes if that player is a success on the pitch. So, even based on your criteria, his buying should, first and foremost, be decided upon his injury issues and ability to help this team on the field.
Despite how big names they were, what good individually (looking from financial and football point of view) did Shevchenko and Torres brought to Chelsea or Kaka to Madrid?
Haha, this.
Lets sign Gareth fecking Bale, and play this...
----------------DDG---------------
Val------Bailly------Rojo-----Blind
----Herrera----Matic----Pogba----
Marcus----------Rom---------Bale
...and win the league (and if it gelled, that team could, with kind draws, win the CL).
Makes sense, they could do with another left-back.
He's a number 10 so I don't see why we wouldn't just give him that. Save 7 for someone special.
Nobody really knows what each club can or cannot afford, but Levi is hardly the guynwho splashes great amounts of money on a single purchase and the timing for Spurs is pretty terrible. They are trying to build a stadium atm, not really the time to risk 100m fee and 20m per year contract on an injury prone 28yo. Even if they could stretch to it, it's the wrong gamble to make right now.
It most definitely is. I've never understood the underrating of trophies like the Super Cup and Club World Cup in the UK.
Hope this is true.
That'd be a insane side imo.
De Gea
Lindelof - Bailly - Rojo
Valencia - Herrera - Matic - Darmian
Pogba
Lukaku - Bale

What happened to: "I don't think it is ethic to speak about players from other clubs."
Maybe there's something in this.
Maybe there's something in this.
And those people are looking incredibly naive now. If we approached Juventus to sign Pogba this year he'd be comfortably over £100mil.
For the very best players in the world you'll have to pay a disproportionate amount of money to sign them. Is Neymar 7x the player Sane is? Of course not, but could well go on to represent value for money if PSG lift the champions league in the next few seasons.
Darmian is the proverial sore thumb there.
Why the feck would anyone want Darmian as a wing back
Because there's no one else really.
My biggest concern is in 8 years time he'll be 36, and what would his sell on value be then?
I think this is poor.
