When a player has loads of pace, good dribbling skills and scores goals due to fantastic shooting technique, he can fit in any league.
Why would he be Ronaldo' understudy? You think Real offered those prices for a 2nd string player?

He won't be his understudy, if it ever happens, though I don't think both of them can co-exist. Similar players, both like the start on the left, offer the same things.
I think Real will sell Ronaldo before they try and buy Bale.

Oh, so since we lost Fergie, no one great is willing to play for us? Oh, so that explains why players like Cavani and Falcao were so desperate to go and play for Iconiv managers such as Raneiri and Blanc
, really great logic there.

Bit like the Tottenham fan at work who reckons they wouldn't want Rooney.
Look forward to their inevitable crumble away from top 4 again this year

What would puzzle me about Bale at Real is what would he actually do. A lot of his appeal is his free kicks, is Ronaldo going to give them up? I very much doubt it.
Get back to the emirates cup you clown.

And 'Arry Redknapp was such a powerhouse name in Europe so as Van der Vaart was willing to sign for Spurs from Madrid.
Lingard wasn't greedy there to feed in RVP. I think I'm a lingard fanboy.
Well Woodward and Moyes do seem to be clueless in the transfer market and after all Spurs didn't want Moyes so it's not at all far-fetched that they don't want Rooney (more to do with wages of course).
Well, things aren't always what they seem to be!

You should address the point I made, rather than an issue of your own creation.
I didn't say that "no one great" is willing to play for you. I said you should pursue realistic targets rather than chasing unlikely targets. Alcantara was never going to choose Moyes at MUFC over Guardiola at Bayern, Fabregas is unlikely to abandon Barca for you and Bale is simply not available.
Fellaini, although not great, would at least be willing to come ... or so one assumes. But leave it too long and Everton might decide you've not left them with enough time to replace him: time and tide wait for no one.
Now, I wasn't a huge follower of the Thiago rumour mill, but I do believe that you are wide of the mark here. You don't not approach players on the basis that another club might also approach them later on. That's just stupid.
Bale is available. Either this summer or next. It's just a matter of time.
The Spurs fan at work is right. Rooney's wage packet - and its knock-on effect across our squad - would destroy us.
Next summer maybe, we shall see, but not to your club. If he's sold, it'll be outside the Prem.
That's a non issue. He has a release clause, we know exactly how much we need to pay and Everton can do nothing if we meet it. I'd say the reason we haven't met it yet is that Moyes, and the new Chief Exec, want that big marque signing. I think if Fabregas or Bale arrives then it'll be Baines and Fellaini through the door next.
I hope it's because they do not deem Fellaini to be worth the amount of his release clause.
And what if Fabregas and Bale don't arrive? Because that's the overwhelming probability ... and a certainty in a Bale's case.
Join the club.
Glaston's a troll lads. Stop feeding him and he will eventually venture back under the bridge.
This guy was meaning he wouldn't want Rooney on ability.
but then he also reckons Anderton was better than Beckham. Which is a view perhaps shared between him and Glenn Hoddle.
Harsh on Bale. His game is about much more than just his free kicks.
Think they are both flexible enough to play on either side and keep switching. Ozil has made the centre spot his own so it'l be players on either side of him.
Glaston, out of interest, how much is Bale making now at Spurs?
Considering his status, marketability and interest he attracts from other clubs, I'd guess he could demand the kind of money that will break your wage policy anyway, no?
Sooner or later he'll want the kind of money he knows he can easily get somewhere else. I do believe he'll stick with Tottenham this coming season, but if you miss out on a top four spot, he's almost guaranteed to leave. No CL football and making a fraction of what he's worth in today's market will not sit well with young Gareth, I imagine.

Dont you pay Adebayor (most overpaid player in the history of football) over 100k a week though? get rid of that pile of shite and Rooney's wage wouldn't be a problem.
I think this is Bale's last year at Tottenham anyway he needs to be at a bigger club (no disrespect to spurs), challenging for titles and playing Champions League football. Spurs will make feck load of money that will probbaly allow them to sign 2-3 top class players (if spent wisely) that could actually improve the squad as a whole.
For a start he has a buy out clause and therefore Everton could do feck all about it once it was matched. Missing this simple points proves to me you haven't a fecking clue what you're talking about.
You do this every year. Act the Billy big balls during the summer break, only to feck off and not be heard from for ages while we're up challenging for the title and your lot are losing the fight for 4th.
Why do you do it to yourself every year, Glaston? You're not our competition. Spurs are merely an inconvenience we play a couple of times a year. We're not really bothered about Spurs, so why don't you do us all a favour and do your disappearing act a bit earlier this year?
... awkward.
I will laugh my tits off if we sign Bale.
Silly comment; he'll go to the highest bidder
Are Spurs suddenly our direct rivals then that Levy won't abide selling us a player now?
Me too he is honestly one of the players I know will benefit greatly if United can get it's hands on them.
It's crunch time for him sooner or later. He can't spend year after year, after year pottering around in the relative obscurity of a non-top four PL side.
I get the distinct feeling that Levy would rather sell Bale to Arsenal than us. He's just a bitter, bitter man with a huge inferiority complex when it comes to United.
I can only imagine how clever the smug cnut felt when they signed Fryers from Standard Liege last season. Wanker.

Same old shite from Levy whenever he has a decent player that people want. He is too tight to invest and to take Spurs to the next level, but somehow expects his best players to want to stay and play for a mediocre wage.
The Spurs rhetoric has got to be the dullest in the league. We all know that Bale will leave, it is only a matter of time and it won't be any later than next summer.
What harmed Levy's reputation for getting blood from a stone in terms of transfer fees was blown out of the water when you look at what he got for Modric. About half the amount it was widely leaked he'd 'not accept a penny less than'.
Very unlikely we'll sign Bale this year but next year I'd be very surprised if he is still at Spurs. Sooner or later he will surely decide to make the next step up to a world class club. I'm surprised he doesn't seem too fussed about missing out on CL football this summer so he does seem to have a degree of loyalty to Spurs and AVB.
Right, except that isn't really how it works it it? We pay Rooney 250k a week and then Bale comes along and wants 250k. Then Dembele wants 150k. Lloris 100k. Etc etc.
Bale will leave next summer, almost regardless of what we do but he isn't going anywhere this summer imo. And I want him sold abroad.
Yep, so much so, he's sold 2 players to Man utd and none to Arsenal.
God, some of you really do livein your own little world don't you? Fancy a chairman not wanting to bend over as soon as a bigger club comes along.Its incredible isn't it?
Right, except it isn't being too tight but being realistic with the resources we have and not bankrupting the club.
As an aside, its incredible how easily you lot get wound up by Storey and Glaston. You're all so fecking gullible its unbelievable.
Gullible I am not, enjoying myself, I am. Storey and Glaston are genuine numpties.
Storey is a WUM, but Glaston believes his nonsense.
Levy is tight. He was the same at Rangers. Hated by everybody, other than those who believe that aliens exist amongst us.
I'm pretty confused by this notion from opposing fans that no-one will want to come play for us because we're managed by Moyes.
We're not Spurs, where if you had a Mourinho who then stepped down your pulling power might vanish. We're Manchester United, reigning English champions, the most successful in English history and.....we're Manchester United. Wouldn't expect someone supporting a team of nearly-men with little history to understand that but common sense would be a start.
Also i think it's pretty good that Spurs don't want to be a selling club, but the sad fact is that they are and will be until they're in the CL year in year out. It's only a matter of time until Bale leaves, whether he comes to us or not is a different story.

Their sense of entitlement is pure hubris... there will be tears.
