Can Neymar play in goal?
the sun sport. feck me.
If its true, which is a big if, it just doesn't make much sense to me. From the outside looking in, it doesn't seem like a goer at all, not this year anyway. Maybe we're getting encouragement to suggest otherwise, but I'm a bit miffed by the whole story.
I'm all for going for the best players but not a player who if he gets his way clearly does not want to leave Madrid. He's willing to put up with getting his car attacked and abuse from his own fans to stay at Madrid. What's the point in going for a player who may or may not give his all or may sulk as Di Maria.
He clearly doesn't want to be here we should just move on. Yes we might be able to offer enough money that they eventually agree but is this the type of player we want? Surely Man City have showed us that doesn't work.

He is but I'm starting to think that he will never sign for us.
Reckon it's mostly newspaper nonsense.
I'd be surprised if we haven't enquired about him. The details in this article are more than likely bollox though, I agree.
De Gea
Darmian - Smalling - Rojo - Shaw
Carrick - Morgan
Pedro - Rooney - Memphis
Bale

Forgot to put Ramos in too
Wrong thread I know but would you imagine there is any truth in the Pepe been offered to United rumour I read earlier? Would hate to have at United.
Back to the thread in question would you be sad to see Bale go if by some miracle we got a bid accepted?
Btw you're still not getting DDG you know.

Pepe is not bad defense on the ball ,is still fast and definitely better than your CBs, but is 32 years old . He is in his last year of contract and Madrid have doubts about his renewal by the impact it could have on the progress of Varane . I am looking forward to see a great season of Bale but I also have the feeling that I'll never be fully satisfied with him, plus I can not imagine Cristiano abdicating easily, playing as a striker, with his back to goal. For 140 million euros I personally would go with him to Manchester to be sure that the package is not lost in transitWrong thread I know but would you imagine there is any truth in the Pepe been offered to United rumour I read earlier?

. De Gea is coming, be patient We will obviously try, but we will fail. And I am delighted with that.

If it meant keeping Pepe away from Utd I'd gladly gift wrap David De Gea and drop him off for you, dreadful defender would hate him signing he'd get sent off every other week.

Interesting comments you make about Bale, it seems only your president is bothered about keeping him, don't think we'd pay 140 m euros, but I'd bet we'd pay 100- 120 million euros, he'd fit our team perfectly imo.
DDG is staying im afraid, deal with it
.why €140? that his release clause?
Why do you think that is dreadful? you are talking about his qualities or you are biased because you think that is a prick? A good CB has to be like Pepe, experience, decent with the ball, hard when is needed and very good in aerial game
Ladies and gentleman. Think this will be the muppet thread of 2015.
140m€ is more or less 100mpounds, the amount that the Sun (and As weeks ago) said. I read somewhere that Madrid values him between 120-160m€
Just watched his top ten 'dribbles'.
Pushed the ball forward and ran around his man in 7 or 8 of them. The ultimate kick and rush merchant.
100 million pounds for this crap in a possession based van Gaal team... no thanks.

100m pounds for him will be the worst signing of all time IMO. I sincerely hope, we are more wise than that.
It really just doesn't make sense. Madrid gets him when he is 24 and having the best season of his life for 85m or so, while us getting him for 100m while he had his worst season in the last 5 years. If we sign him, it should be a Di Maria scenario, getting him for less than what the club who owned him payed in the first place. Regressing shouldn't mean commanding a higher transfer fee.
I hope it is one of usual Sun's bullshits. If not, I hope Perez refuses to sell.

That´s 140 m€
It's the Sun, not renowned for its trustworthiness and reliability.
On a side note, would you want Bale to leave?
I will be a nervous wreck if serious rumors begin appearing about us bidding for him.
This is going to be a spine-chilling month..
It's amazing seeing people acting like it's their money, because clearly we will be so much better off with Mata or Young on the wing than Bale.
If he stays is fine but if we sell him for a good amount I´d be happy too. After 2 years he hardly speaks spanish, is not adapting to la liga and I have the feeling that he is using Madrid as a marketing platform, he needed some club to risk and pay what Levy wanted. I can´t see him being Madrid favorite player and leader in 3 years, this is what I wrote to Cantona

Basically this. He's a kick and run merchant with a great long shot. He was never a £80 million player (as Madrid have found out) let alone a £100 million player. He's also turned us down at least twice.
We'd be a laughing stock if we paid that kind of money for him. I'd honestly rather have Pedro.
Pedro to replace Young and Bale to replace Mata, giving us blistering pace and goal threat from both wide forward roles.
There is absolutely no chance that we get Gareth Bale. He is like Perez's son and he would keep him at all costs unless we make an imaginary ridiculously stupid deal to get him.
For the money he'd cost, he just isn't worth it. He's not worth the money Madrid paid (just look how unbothered Madrid fans are about the possibility of him leaving) let alone another £20/30/40 million on top of that fee. His value should have decreased, not increased ffs. He's probably worth £60 million at an absolute stretch, and a lot of that is because of his home grown status. Paying double that would be totally and utterly insane.
And thats not even taking into consideration how unsuited he'd be to LVG's possession based system. He'd have the exact same problems Di Maria had.
Agree with every word there. Bale for 50-60m would make sense if LVG somehow can adjust the tactics in order to suit Bale.
Bale for 100m pounds would be a catastrophe. We could get Pedro and Reus, and spare some money for CB for 100m.
Hello, welcome to the main forum, I remember you from the newbies
, according to spanish press in the conversation in China between Ramos and Florentino ,he said " if i sell you, i would be the next". I mean, if the team start losing points in la liga the press/fans will point to Bale/Florentino obfuscation trying to provoke an unnatural leadership. Right now I agree with you but what if he could sign Reus, Lewandowski or any surprise before the end of the market?, accept his mistake ,get a lot of money in return and bring some top player more similar to Bernabeu taste
People make it sound like Bale is some technically incompetent oaf, yet the bang average Ashley Young has managed to work in the system just fine, and Bale is in no way as sloppy as Di Maria, he'd be able to gel in just fine. He would also give us what we sorely lack, pace and penetration, that right hand side is a graveyard with Mata there unless Hererra is on to constantly give him the 1-2 option.
Is he worth the money they want? I honestly don't give a shit, we need that pace and power injection to our front line more than we need to worry about the cash. People love to throw up Reus and such but never even take into account that he's not interested in the PL and could well suffer the same physical frailty issues Di Maria had, conversely with Bale we know he can not only play in this league but be a match winner in it.
I think he is a great player. However, I think his ridiculous pace is too important to his game that you'd worry how he ages.
So he still got past the defender then?
Bale really needs to go away from Real. He had a good first season there but he'd shine even more for United, he is made for the PL.

Abc wrote an article yesterday about Bale´s new position.
The article says that according to the board, last year Bale was a player wasted, because although many left footed play on the right by his characteristics he should exploit his speed. They consider that the goal he scored in la Copa del Rey final beating Bartra would have been impossible if he were playing on the right. They also write that last year he was playing out of place in the midfield and his performances depended mainly on the number of passes he received. Benitez went to see him when was in Wales this summer and asked him what position he believed would be better and Gareth replied "playmaker, behind the striker". Benitez apparently is planning a system that is not so strict tactically, in which both he and Cristiano positions can change during the game. According to the writer the experiment will be a success because now Bale participates in all actions of attack, besides Kroos, Modric, James and Isco have more passing options. I personally still doubt that it is the correct position, I think to play in that position the player has to be very good technically to play in tight spaces but if Rafa keeps with his idea then evidently Benzema will be disadvantaged

If our forwards were instructed to play possesion football then no-one would score. Everybody except the 3 front forwards are instructed to keep possesion. The rest are goal scorers.
Theres a difference between forwards who pass the ball to the most appropriate player and players who pass the ball around to maintain possesion.
He would have been the ideal winger for Ferguson's United. Especially 09-11 Bale.
