Yep.
They'll hold whoever to ransom but completely forget about unsettling their own team in the process! Levy should recognize that the extra £5m he makes on a transfer doesn't really compensate for missing out on UCL football.The scary thing is that at £65 million he would probably be considered a steal 5 years later. It's an insane amount but if we had £65 million to spend I would gladly see us waste it all on Bale (not that Spurs would sell to us for that amount anyway)

x years doing a journalism degree, and for what I ask you.

Can you see these 2 coming, or even considering coming, with Moyes at the helm?

Moyes is going to convert them both to fullbacks so they can pump longballs to fellaini.
Ronaldo... What a dream that would be

There's a problem in this team. Bale will spend the entire game admiring Ronaldo and thinking of how he can mimic every single thing Ronaldo does (even the way he drinks water from the bottle), rather than doing his own job.
Rooney won't be here to play in it?
Possibly. I'm not bothered about whether Rooney is here or not next season. I certainly think he's replaceable.
Cool. Who?
Kagawa.
