I'd take him for that price.
First of all, it's not my money and if the money's there to be spent on the best players then club should do so.
Secondly, a team that has our attacking prowess (+ Bale) would scare the living daylights out of almost every team we would encounter. In my opinion, we have more issues in midfield when it comes to getting quality balls into the strikers and wing play then we've ever had with our defence.
We fix our midfield and Falcao will score a shed load as well. It's all about the service.

Yep....no other club would sell Bale in the next years
But Real Madrid are needing at least one new top top player/toy for their fans and Perez himself
And if they're getting 100m for Bale in the summer and can sign Reus for 25m + another top player then i can easily see Real Madrid are accepting that
Another big IF but add Hummels and keep Smalling, Rafael and Shaw injury free and that would be a team good enough to win the CL even with Bayern and Madrid.
Imagine jeering one of your world class players for making a small error, in the following game, while he's being linked with a move to another club! Crazy fans.
Great freekick from him tonight but apart from that not all that convincing like almost always when I watch Real play. He just doesn't seem to fit the team all that well. Kroos, James and Isco pretty much ran the show for them tonight imo.
He is not suppose to run the show, he is "only" an impact player for them. When the three players you mentioned are part of the engine of the team.
Was this from last week, or did it happen again today?!
Today
Sounds like he's having a bit of a miserable time, I can really see us going for him. Especially as it's been confirmed that we bid for him last time.
As if he did the same thing again, what an idiotWell you don't ignore an offer from RM do you monkeyboy?
Prick, hope we don't go for him.

Ronaldo and madrid fansThat's... strange.
I was obviously joking.
Still though, hope we spend our monies somewhere else.

The Madrid fans have booed Ronaldo in the past so I wouldn't put it past them to boo bale. I honestly don't see him lasting too long in Spain either he's very much a premiership type player. I'm almost certain that if Madrid do sign Reus then bale will come to United.
he will come back to the premier league, it is just a matter of time. Never will be better than Ronaldo, he just doesnt fit in to be what he wants to be, the star and the main man of the team.
You mean puta?
Good he didn't pass, he had only GK to beat facing the whole goal... madrid were winning regardless.
As good as he is, and fair play to him for doing so well last season, but he was never worth the £100 odd million that Madrid paid for him, and he's not even close to being worth £120 million ffs. He's not worth half of that in all honesty.
I'd be pretty disgusted if we spent that kind of money on Gareth fecking Bale.

He's not worth the money Madrid payed for him, imo. 120M is probably a joke...
120m for Bale? In my opinion too much. I wouldn't pay 80 for him.
They didn't pay that much at all they paid around £80 million which is probably still too much. I agree £120 mill is ridiculous and we shouldn't spend anything over £70 mill IMO.
If we could get him in the Di Maria price range then we should go for him 100%. Imagine a team with bale and Di Maria's pace and counter attack ability
Woodward has said numerous times when it comes to buying players money isn't an issue, he won't come in January I'm sure but Imagine in the summer if we make these signings we would be challenging on all fronts again including the champs league.
Bale - £60-70 mill
Hummels - £30 mill
Clyne - £20 mill
Strootman - -£30 mill

Ah yeah, it was £80 odd million, not sure why I thought it was £100 million. Proper brain fart moment there.
If we could get him around the Di Maria price then yeah, I'd probably be all for it. But even that would still be overpaying quite a bit, and I can't see Madrid selling him for anything less then they paid, unless he really kicks up a fuss/the fans turn on him or he runs his contract down a bit.
Ronaldo doing his part in persuading Bale that his future lies at Old Trafford?
Quite easily worth £60 Million...
God no I'd rather have a transfer ban until 2016 than sign Bale for big money. He pops up with goals but his performances are consistently underwhelming and when his legs go he is certain to do a Torres. There's no way we wouldn't end up massively regretting signing him for anything more than we paid for Di Maria.
I wonder what would happen if Real Madrid went through as season like we did last year?
Whereas we banded together and arguably as a fan base became stronger and more 'united' (eventually), I am sure that there would be riots and assassination attempts if they finished outside of the top four, let alone in 7th.
They are, without a doubt, the most spoilt fans in club football.

That's not really enough, especially when he keeps Isco on the bench when Modric is fit. He needs to start making more of an impact in games during the entire 90 instead of 1 or 2 moments again.
He apparently did that today though, according to reports at least, I missed the game myself.
Horseshit that we would pay £120m for Bale. We don't need him, we're far more likely to get raped on transfer fees for top defenders as it's an obvious issue for us.
Adding Bale, Hummels and Strootman to the existing squad would pretty much make it perfect in terms of real quality in depth:
A first XI could look like this:
DDG
Rafael Hummels Smalling Shaw
Strootman Carrick
Di Maria Rooney Bale
Van Persie
Subs from: Valdes, Jones, Rojo, Blind, Hererra, Fellani, Januzaj, Young, Valencia, Mata, Falcao,
Yeah, good enough the seriously compete for PL & CL next year.
In fact that squad as so much quality in depth, the subs could make the following B team which should be good enough to beat most PL sides and do very well in the cups.
Valdes
Jones, Rojo, Blind
Valencia, Hererra, Fellani, Young
Mata, Januzaj
Falcao
And you still have the likes of Wilson, McNair, Blackett and all the loanee's to come back
Of course it wont be like this, and we can expect at least 5 players to leave in the summer, but it looks to me as though LVG has a clear plan in place and is very close to actualising it.
With the intent shown last summer, I believe the club will go after the likes of Bale, Hummels and Strootman, just need players of that calibre to join.

I'd much rather pay £100m for Pogba than Bale, I think we need his qualities more in our team and I believe his ceiling is higher than Bales.
This spending spree going to be getting a bit ridiculous, especially as we don't look like we are bothered about strengthening areas where we are weak
We need to give more games to Januzaj and Lingard as well, they both have bags of potential, so I really don't see a point in this transfer at all actually.

Mata?
Don't quite know what the Madrid fans are on whistling him, he is a fantastic player, it's to be hoped for Bale's sake they don't pick on him everytime he does the slightest thing wrong, it'll be a long season for him if they do,
Not worth £120 million, but a great player.

Wow, I forgot him!!!! Abundance if riches we may soon have!
Have edited above .... if we got Bale, Mata does not make my first team!
Looked to me like Ronaldo shouted puta to himself in frustration rather than at Bale.
Not that it makes much of a difference.
