Did I hear a "we want Gareth Bale" chants from the crowd today?
Not that I heard. The only out of the usual chant I heard was "we want you to sign, we want you to sign, David De Gea, we want you to sign". No Gareth Bale stuff to the best of my knowledge.Did I hear a "we want Gareth Bale" chants from the crowd today?
Yeah, because a few bad results suddenly gives you the appeal of Barnsley.Yep I can just imagine Bale is licking his lips at the prospect of playing for us.
Can't believe people are suggesting Nani as part of any potential swap deal with Madrid. He wouldn't get near their bench.
Bale would be brilliant here. Can win games on his own and not every game will be like today with the team defending on their 18 yard line. Young often gets the ball in a good bit of space but does nothing with it, Bale would be able to do something with that sort of space.
We could really spend £100m better than Bale.
Agreed. Only Ronaldo would warrant that sort of money.
Bale is a 50-60m player max.
Maybe, but Hernandez only really has Benzema ahead of him whereas Nani would have Ronaldo, Bale, Rodriguez, Isco and Jese. I just think Nani is way too inconsistent and often brainless to do well there, or even here next season(though I wouldn't mind him getting one last chance).Look at this way - if Hernandez can get playing time for Madrid, so can Nani.

Fair enough. I don't think he would, there's at least 4 better players for a position on the wing at Madrid at the moment imo.People always undersell Nani during these comparisons. I'm sure he would play if he were a Madrid player.

i know prices went to **** but feck me if Gareth Bale is a 50-60m player.....how much are worth Muller, Silva, Reus, Hazard etc. all players in similar position who are better then him. How many 50-60m players we have at this current time?
I don't think any of those players would cost as much as Bale, although Hazard and Reus may come close. Di Maria certainly isn't and never was a 60m player, and we should take his experience into account when contemplating buying Bale for 80 or more. The higher the price, the greater the expectations, and if they don't meet those inflated expectations, the greater the disappointment.
I would now pay £70m for him.If Real Madrid are getting a transfer ban for the next transfer window then there's no way that they will sell Bale.
No one will pay £100m for Bale but i would pay £60m for him.
If he's available then we must do everything to get him because he would improve us to another level.
I've heard nothing in the Stretford End.Did I hear a "we want Gareth Bale" chants from the crowd today?
Not sure about that.
We cried out for a direct player like Gareth today. Some people say he wouldn't fit in to our passing style of play but I think we also need someone who will just get on the ball and run at the defense when things aren't going our way.
Not that I heard. The only out of the usual chant I heard was "we want you to sign, we want you to sign, David De Gea, we want you to sign". No Gareth Bale stuff to the best of my knowledge.
Oh and yes, we are fecking desperate for someone like Bale. He's a monster coming forward. Not a player who runs, stops and passes to the right back.

I've heard only "We want you to sign, we want you to sign, David De Gea, We want you to sign".
People say that Bale doesn't fit our system and etc etc. That doesn't really matter. Some of you are forgetting what he was doing to the premier league a few years ago - He was tearing it to pieces. He isn't suited to La Liga. La Liga is about flair and technical ability which he doesn't have. Yesterday we could of had a player of his quality and ability to take a long shot from 40 yards and take on players who park the bus - which Di Maria can do but he will be barged of the ball.
It's a good point but let's also remember he was performing so well in a spurs team that played a lot of counter attack football.People say that Bale doesn't fit our system and etc etc. That doesn't really matter.

They would have had less emphasis on possession than us (it's impossible not to) but I'm pretty sure I remember a lot of complaints from Tottenham fans that Tottenham spent a lot of time passing from side to side, looking toothless until Bale stepped in. I also remember them attempting to play an extremely high line under Villas Boas. Almost laughably high, at times.It's a good point but let's also remember he was performing so well in a spurs team that played a lot of counter attack football.
Would lvgs philosophy allow him the same space to exploit and other players the freedom to hit his runs with early balls?
I'm not suggesting lvg could not find a way to integrate his attributes into the team but it may involve using him in a different way to spurs did

Bale would be great signing. Id rather have Isco(slight possibility) or Modric(zero possibility).

That's silly. He's still young but he's going to turn 26. Without his electric pace, bale simply doesn't have that much in his tank. So it's hardly like he's going to be brilliant till 35. So yeah, his price is relevant. You never know,we might just get 3 peak years out of him.There are a lot of players that would fetch £50-60m. Most of them are already at top clubs though.
Bale would be worth almost any amount to us. The only top British talent in the laSt ten years.
It's not like we could use that £80m and buy another two top players. We really struggleto convince top players to come here. Frankly, we have very rarely done it.
Should change now we are no longer tights wads.
Isco is more than passing. But don't want to go off topic in this Bale thread so ill leave it at that.So we can keep passing the ball around a the box of a counter attacking team?
Why can't no one see we need goals in this side.
We need a goalscoring midfielder.
£100 for him would be madness, or outright stupidity on our part. That money can get you Pogba and Reus. Not that I believe the reports anyway, but we'll be absolute Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime to spend that amount on any one player at this time.

Ok but a creative player who can dribble past defenders won't do any harm.

80 million on bale would be an absolute joke.
Yes.Just as the initial sum paid by Madrid to get him.
Not entirely sure what Perez was thinking. He probably saw a few Youtube clips of his last year at Spurs and thought he had the next galactico on his hands. In any case, that doesn't mean we have to spend the same on him as Madrid have a history of selling their players for less than they bought them for - well except Di Maria.
