If Mahrez is going for £75m I don't think paying 100 for Bale is way off the mark.
Let’s sign Gareth Bale
- Thread starter Rhyme Animal
- Start date
I'm not saying he's overpriced. Saying hope signing Bale doesn't leave holes elsewhere in the team.
Prices quoted for Bale is more than 100m euros, so lets say 115m euros plus a hefty sign on fee.
Our cap for the last few years has been roughly 170m euros, so anything from 70% and up on a player that is crocked half the year and would take up the wages of three very good first teamers with his reported 600k\week.
So tell me, where do you now find the funds for Fred\LB\RB\another CM?
I have absolutely no idea about our transfer budget. But neither do you, and that was my point. Maybe it's €170m. Maybe it's €220m. It depends on the players available, both how good they are on the pitch, but also how good they are at making money for the club.
I'm not saying Bale is worth an infinite amount of money, but he will make us _a lot_ better and sell a million jerseys at the same time.
I do wonder whether that's a big concern though. The club hasn't held back on any transfers that I can recall in the last couple seasons. Perisic being the only player we didn't land and that I felt was likely because Jose didn't feel compelled to push Woodward to get swindled by Inter.
The old shirt sales myth? Seriously?
I hope the majority of people who mention that myth are taking the piss at this point.
Especially since sheep don't even wear football shirts.
If it helps in fixing our attack and banging goals in then nobody would really care about other holes in the squad.
I think Real Madrid do know that Bale is not worth more than 100 million euros given his injury problems and then, they know they will no longer have to pay for his big salary.
I hope the will we/won’t we on Gareth Bale doesn’t drag on much longer.
It’s so painfully obvious that the two FB positions need addressing along with at least two midfielders. The longer this one goes on, the more I fear us starting with Young and Valencia again next season.

Woodward will go after Douglas Costa if he can't get Bale. So which would you prefer.
How do you know?
He's been reading his tea leaves.
because he want's to sign a winger (a marquee Player) and If Bale changes his mind and goes to Bayern, we will go for Costa.
Juventus will be buying him from Bayern this summer. Taking up the option to buy. Pass on the weed.
Maybe this guy is doing the weed.

Man Utd Round-Up: £80m For Brazilian Forward, World-Class No.11 on Radar, Double Swoop
June 3, 2018
Man Utd ready to meet £80m asking price for explosive Bayern Munich winger
According to reports, Man United have shown interest in paying a £80m fee, which Bayern Munich currently demands for letting Douglas Costa go.
Brazil international signed for Germans in 2015, but he currently plays in Juve, where he moved on a loan deal last year. He played the whole season of 2017-2018 in Juventus and managed to score seven goals and provide his teammates with thirteen assists
Willian is the obvious choice for right winger. Chelsea don't want to pay off Conte, and Willian is a bench player under Conte.
FYI, Willian didn't celebrate the FA cup win with his teammates, he left early in an unmarked tinted car.

You are on a forum where you get close to authentic information about transfers. Don't just believe whatever the press is spouting. CR7 would have joined us every summer if you believe them.
The old shirt sales myth? Seriously?
What myth? I know we barely make a penny directly from shirt sales. But Adidas do. And Chevy surley appreciate it. Selling a ton of jerseys is a bit important when negociating our next shirt sponsors. It also helps building our brand.
So what you are saying is, those people that would buy a bale united shirt, won't buy a united shirt if he doesn't come? Do you not think those people would buy a united shirt anyway?
Maybe this guy is doing the weed.

I think he must be as I’m sure Juventus have stated they are taking up their option to buy him for around €45m?

Bale 'to keep United waiting'
Gareth Bale is happy to wait and see who the new manager of Real Madrid will be before he decides on his future, according to reports.
The Sunday Express suggest the Welshman is looking likely to stay in Spain following Zinedine Zidane’s shock resignation.
He will be praying they get Poch as I think he would no doubt play him. If it is Guti he likely would play the Spanish players. I would play him if I were their manager. We cannot let him string us along, if they want a player for this position then I would move onto my next target. This could become a distraction. A bit like the Griezmann saga.

Not everyone, no. Myself included. I dont but a shirt every year. Actually, most fans dont.
I never said I believe it "Dude". I am just reporting what is in the papers today OK. Just to get reactions. He has not signed for Juventus yet.
I know. But what I'm saying is most of those fans won't go out their way to buy a shirt just to have bale on the back would they, but wouldn't buy one because he doesn't play for us? I bet the majority are buying a shirt anyway regardless of who plays for the club.
What do United as a club get out of each shirt sale? Is it public knowledge?
I’m the first person to shout down people who say we shouldn’t be signing 28 year olds because they’re too old.
But the signing of Bale would be an absolute shocker - he’s 29 next month, with a very poor injury record, and he’ll cost us the best part of £100m. We’ll probably only get 2-3 seasons out of him (how many top class 33 year old wingers are there?). We’ve just signed Sanchez, we don’t need another one.
I’m not sure how much is paper talk etc, but I’m sure I’m with everyone here when I say that I much prefer it when we sign 24 year olds and make them better.

I get your point. I'm just defending my shirt sales point. It's not like i still believe we make billions of pounds from jersey sales directly. But it's still very important, and a good measurement of the clubs/players popularity and very important when negociating a new spinsorship deal.
Also, Bale is an Adidas player. That alone might benefit a potential deal.
But sanchez plays on the left.
Who are these 24 year olds who would instantly improve our attack and help turn us into title contenders?

Close to feck all afaik
I’m not a scout, but the players are out there. Seems a bit lazy to me to just try and buy off the peg players who then struggle to fit into our system. That’s Jose’s way though.
Sanchez already has the monopoly on 29 year old inverted wingers at the club.
Or maybe there's a serious lack of mourinho like wingers in the market. That's why i think the club is courting the best of the lot in Willian, Bale and Griezmann(if that reddit ITK is smoking proper stuff)
Really? I'm sure Bale has a huge following across the world, especially the younger generation. If he were to sign for us, I reckon a large proportion of his following would want a United shirt with his name on the back. Compare this to another attacker we're linked with - maybe Talisca or Douglas Costa, would their following/fan fare be as big and would they increase our shirt sales as much as Bale?
The old shirt sales myth? Seriously?
£50 a shirt, obviously we'll sell one to every single one of our 650m fans. That's £32.5bn. It's just maths, don't question it.
It is crazy, reality is we wouldn't even sell to a 10th of the fans, but if we did, £3.25bn is insane.
Would be interesting to know just how many shirts we do sell. We have the biggest fan base so statistically we have better odds of getting the numbers up. Although in China and India it's probably a lot of fake shirts or cut price!
Are you serious?
the club isn't even worth £3.25bnYou do realize it's Adidas who will be pocketing the money. We will only get a commission. Very little commission.
You'll be disappointed. From 2011-2016 we sold on average 1.75m shirts a year. So we'll probably be around the 2m mark now.
