Just scored another freekick to bring it back to 2-2.
 
Bale isn't going to be available, Madrid have made that clear and he doesn't want to move. Get this lad signed up ffs.
 
Why spend 80mil on Bale when we could buy this guy for 20+mil?, we would then have plenty of money left to buy more big players.

Because Bale is better. Bale has PL experience. Depay may well be better value but if we have plenty of money to spend, just get the best option available.
 
Its a waste of money on Bale imo, even we don't have unlimited funds when it comes to FFP.
If we could get Bale for 60mil then ok but nothing more. I'd rather take a chance on Depay and have more than enough funds to get 3 or 4 more top level players, something we probably wouldn't be able to do if we splashed 80mil on Bale.

Hes also older, won't be as motivated or willing to rotate with mata and di maria, and there's no telling how he would fit in van gaals style. His pace and directness definitely wouldn't be put to full use. Depay knows van Gaal and his ways, is younger and probably has the potential to reach that level. Think depay has more goals this season in all comps then bale has ever scored as well, or around that, so its not like bale will guarantee more goals.
 
Losing Depay to wait and see if Bale or Ronaldo is available would be stark raving bonkers. Unless we've had on good authority that Bale is coming, maybe as a make weight for DDG then I could understand.

I don't see why we don't get both though tbh!

Trying to get Bale would be Fabregas all over again. :( We should clearly get Depay for 20m, he will be a top player in a couple of years and I don't want to lose yet another top youngster to a rival.

Yep. Seems as though Woodward has a massive hard on for Bale, but we shouldn't wait on him to come available when we have another perfectly good option ready now. I can't imagine LVG will be happy to miss out on him.
 
Its Lucas Moura all over again.

Nah. Moura went to PSG because of Paris. Depay wont go to Liverpool because of the city, but because of playing time if anything. Still i dont think he will end up there, it will be PSG or Bayern if they are interested.

I don't think Woodward would not go for him if van Gaal wants him. If we don't bother, I think that's van Gaal's call.
 
I'm not worried about Liverpool at all.
We have a few scenarios:

1. Both United and Liverpool want him. He opts for United and Van Gaal. All is right in the world.
2. Liverpool want him, United don't. I'll accept that. Van Gaal knows him better than any of us.
3. Both United and Liverpool want him. He opts for Liverpool. Grand - I don't want a player with such a lack of ambition playing for United.

I am a bit worried that we are letting other clubs steal ahead of us while we wait to discover that we inevitably cannot sign Gareth Bale.
I'd always prefer to see us sign a youngster for £20mil and turn him into the best in the world than spend £80mil on a player that, no matter how good he is, will always not have been good enough to stay at Real Madrid.
 
You lot realise that de Gea denied everything related to us days before he signed?

We all would, but most 20million pound signings never get anywhere near being the best in the world.
 
Who cares if the wall or keeper were shit. Look at La Liga or the City game. Keepers and walls are shit sometimes, not just in the Eredivisie. People getting their excuses now or what, sign this fecker Woody.
