Bale has been playing as RW for the majority of the past half a decade. By a large margin.
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gar...verein=418&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=
RW: 134 (~72%)
CF: 20
LW: 17
SS: 15
That's the amount of matches he has played in respective positions for Real, in all competitions. You can view more details in the link I provided.
Bale would be great for us. Precisely the type of attacking player we need. But it's a high risk high reward situation because of his injury history. We'd have to sign Willian as cover. Not sure if Willian would accept this on paper, but in reality Willian could (and probably would) end up playing more minutes than Bale.
There's something weird going on there. Koulibaly is listed as 1.95m on Napoli's website, despite the fact that when you see them together, he is obviously shorter than Albiol (1.90m). Transfermarkt lists his actual height as 1.87m, which appears to be a much more accurate estimation.
Yeah he basically walked and applause the half of the SAF stand near the Stretford End and then the Stretford End, then gave his match shirt to a young fan and went down the tunnel. IIRC it was L'pool vs Brighton and Chelsea vs Newcastle shown on TV that day.
Whatever targets we have, we need to get the deals done very soon because countries are all having their friendlies at the start of June before the kick off to the campaign.
It appears we know who we want and it shouldn't be too much trouble to get them (bar Wilian) .

Because our central defenders are so good?
A lot of the problems we have is down to our amazingly slow build up from the back. Apart from Lindelof, who has other issues, we don't have anyone who has a good passing range from the back and is confident on the ball under pressure. The CB position should be the main priority this summer, even though the other areas need improvement as well. Also, he is a vocal guy who organises the defence and has been for me one if not the best defender over the last 2-3 years in the PL, if fit. The fee is high, but he seems to be available and I can't see anyone out there who is on his level and would be on the move this window. I personally think sine people on here will be astonished, how a really good CB and LB would improve our attacking game overall.
It's kind of a funny story: he used to be a banker but in his mid fourties decided he wanted to be a football manager. He started as low as where a club would hire a random bloke willing to coach, then climbed every step until where he is now.
Perhaps, but his comments during the season a little earlier on were something like ‘we’ll only sign 3 players’... ‘we don’t have unlimited budget’ etc. Perhaps it was just posturing to keep player prices low[er] because since then some links have come out that we want 5 or 6 players. I’m just really wary of believing that - I think we’ll end up with a similar summer of 3 or maybe 4 players coming in and the fee will total somewhere in the region of £150m~.
Yes, our CBs are the reason we cannot attack as a cohesive unit and score goals against newly promoted teams.
You can't talk sense here bro. All our issues because of Smalling who can't pass the ball according to the cafe !! .... Put Baily and Toby Alderweireld then all our issues are solved (according to the cafe).
Defense is not our issue and its never been our real issue for the pas couple of seasons. We have one of the porous mid even after investing so much money. They cannot keep possession and loose it very cheaply. It doesn't matter who we are playing against our mid generally struggles most of the time . I missed the times when Carrick-Scholes could do a job to any side in the world !!
The less said about our attack is the better. There is no cohesion, no game plan, no coordination ,no movement and no energy. Just a bunch of individuals who are trying to make things works most of the time. The frightening thing is that I don't see that changing next season too ( doesn't matter who we bought ) !!

No matter who United sign this summer, Fellani renewing his contract will just feel like we're stagnating. After the way he's treated us this season, he should be lucky he's still got a contract offer. Fergie would have fired him into space before now.
Vertout is garbage, Milan should definitely go for Fellaini instead. Give him anything he wants.
Please.
On the off-chance that the executives at Milan read these forums, I wholeheartedly agree. Fellaini is superb and you should pay whatever it takes to get him to Italy.
Pep Guardiola revives interest in signing Riyad Mahrez
The best agreement has been reached with a club that talks a lot, but does different things than it talks about
Apparently it's Atletico. Will be a great player imo.
Clearly doesn't want to be here? So much so that he wants a deal lasting longer than 2 years..
This whole thing is not about money it is about the time we are offering him.
Article is missing.
Didn't Sterling have a pretty good season for them on the right?
Are they buying just to buy?
Our full backs are one of the major issues in our team. They are so one dimensional it's unreal. Fullbacks are one of the most Important areas in today's game. They can transfer a decent team into a quality team. Ours are not good enough.
Finishing above Chelsea Liverpool Spurs and Arsenal for a team who’s been out the champions league for quite a few of the last 4-5 years is not nothing buddy. We are Manchester United of 2018 not 2000 we have no right to be in it yet this season we are well in it.
Can't wait to see them offer 20 million again.
Replacement for Gabi I imagine.

Young have played well enough this season. But yeah fullbacks should be upgraded but lets not pretend they will solve most of our issues. The lack of cohesion between our attacking players and the porous mid are the bigger issues and sadly I cannot see that changing next season.
Looking forward to some proper transfer tweets from the journos like Di Marzio and others, instead of the usual tabloidy nonsense from aggregator sites.
Didnt Pepus Christ say they didnt have much money to invest this summer?
yep
Levy's going to Levy. Bid £25M on Martial last year who effectively had three years left on contract but reportedly wants £55M for Alderweireld.
I think he realises this will be his last payday, and is waiting for the longest and juiciest contract possible. He has no loyalty to us except he'll go to the club that offers him the most amount of money for the longest possible time.
It doesn't make sense offering a squad rotation player in his 30s a deal longer than a couple of years.
Ok I stand corrected, had him in my head as left winger, but left wing is the position he started in at Tottenham though isn't it ?
Still I'am not convinced he would be a good signing. So injurry prone.
According to @Carloalvino, Napoli and Ancelotti have a total agreement, both on technical and economic issues, although there isn't a contract yet. Ancelotti likes Napoli's current squad, and if a player will be sold, he'll be worthily replaced.
