well let's spend 160m on two - Pogba, Bale...I think some success would surely follow. Good job I'm not Ed Woodward as we'd be bankrupt in days!
It will rumble on for a long time you feel.
When's our player of the year awards evening? He'll have to do a speech when he picks up the main award.
We've already done this dance with Lloris. Real clearly only want De Gea. He, it seems only wants them. So if we price them out they'll soldier on with Casillas and Navas and take him on a free next summer. No matter how many stories they put out about other keepers the actual reality is pretty easy to see.
If this was the case then it's tapping up surely?
Tapping up is a fully integrated part of the transfer process nowadays and no one really bats an eyelid anymore.
Any idea what the article says?
We wouldn't, it make absolutely no sense. Even if we consider the strong pound and that the fee would be in Euros, we still shouldn't be paying more than Real did, given Bale's form this year.Why would we break the World transfer record for an out of form player? Surely that means we should get him on the cheap?

And Real are known to sell their top players on cheap. Sneijder, Robben etcWe are known for paying too much for players.
