Erm. 1. He's not regressed. 2. The market has changed quite a lot in the last 4 years.

Bale in his last season at Spurs was a much better spectacle than Bale this season, so yes, he has and I understand that but I think we are all getting carried away with the prices of some players here, I'm not being delusional in thinking that you can pick up amazing players for 40-50m these days but 100m pounds for Gareth Bale in his current condition is ludicrous, Real payed 80m for a 24 year old (Top 5 in the world at the time) player and he is 28 next month with reoccurring injuries and hasn't progressed a great deal in those 4 years especially the last two,

So 60-70m isn't scandelous, he simply hasn't taken his game up a level as Ronaldo did when he left or Suarez for Barca or even Modric to Madrid, albeit mostly because of injuries.

Quite a lot of talk about Bale now. I know he has his injury problems, but I'd be so happy if we signed him. He'd take us to another level.

Him, along with Perisic and a striker would mean our attack be looking pretty tasty.

Perisic/Martial Striker/Rashford Bale/Mkhitaryan

Can any of them score goals?
 
The conspiracy theorist in me always wonders how much money is being made by dragging on United related transfer stories due to the mass amounts of website visits with ads either directly or through redirects from tweets etc.
 
Ban said:
Just a fancy name. Say we have a chance of landing Kroos or Isco. Would you take them?

Players like Salah, Keita and Dembele certainly won't take us to the next level.

Salah was one of 5 players in Europe to reach double figures for both league goals 15 and assists 11 this season, Keita is the most obvious top level midfielder purchase since Chelsea got Kante and Dembele has ridiculous talent. What has Bale done this Season other than warm the table in his doctors office?

Isco and Kroos are probably their only 2 players i would be happy to lose De Gea for tbh.
 
Ban said:
I think its the thing - United don't want Griezamann. Bale might leave Madrid, hey lets write that United want Bale.

It's almost as if United were bullshitting about them being the ones to cool their interest in Griezmann.

People naming Perisic in our starting line ups for next season :lol: He's nowhere near Martial

Unfortunately this season past your are correct but with Perisic being way better as Martials performances this season have been meh.

If you think that with that players we can compete in CL then I can't help you.
I don't even know who's that Keita you think we should get.

Maybe Salah could be good but as long as we buy one world class player with thim.

The same Martial who is behind Jesse in the pecking order?

Martial has a long way to go before he can be considered a starter in Mourinho's team.

Exactly, failed. We signed a crocked Falcao when we could have got Costa, we signed a crocked Schweinsteiger, a Di Maria who wanted PSG etc.. Pogba is the only success and even then, we put more pressure on him than the price tag already brought with our relentless commercial whoring of him. Just think back to the Liverpool game.

We should be trying to sign hungry players with a point to prove, in positions that we desperately need to fill. Not big names with big problems like Bale or Griezmann who likes to complain about English weather every time he gets a chance. We have taken our commercial commitments too far and it has led to problems on the pitch.

Pogba isn't a success yet. And all of those were the manager's feck ups, as will Pogba and next big signing be if they go wrong. If we should sign hungry players then Mourinho should target hungry players.

Did you know who Bailly was before he became one of the best layers in our team?

Keita is like the lovechild of Pogba and Kante, with goals. If Liverpool manage to land him he will be their best player.

Obviously we need a top class player to come in and score us goals but i think our imbalances at fullback and in our midfield and wide positions are just as big a problem and one that can be patched without any big names coming in.

Let compete in the PL first. Keita is supposed to be extremely talented by all accounts. You not knowing him is your own problem.

It's all good, just haven't heard of him. I think in 4 or 5 players we will get hopefully at least one should already be wc and proven.

If you've seen Perisic play you would know he should be nowhere near our starting line up either.
 
Macern said:
Bale is just what we need and a risk we have to take. We are in desperate need of clinical attackers, goal threats from other positions than the striker. We scored less goals than Burnley last season and I think that's due to a lack of clinical attackers. Way too many chances missed.

He won't be a goal threat in the physio room.
 
2E_MUFC said:
May well be true but there's no way he's worth anywhere near the reported price
Click to expand...
Not many players are. Most are over priced. If we were going to sign someone at the valuation we think they should have, we would be getting someone from the Championship level. That is how prices have gone. You have to accept it.

I'm no fan of Perisić - especially as I watch quite a bit of Serie A - but I think he'd rather easily take a place in our XI given duties Mourinho would give him.
 
Can we get some fecking tweets instead of repeatedly reminding ourselves that Perisic is going to start ahead of Martial next season? Do you all hate yourselves?

He's the only constant during the last 5 years of failed Galactico attempts. He also pretty much confirmed it was gonna be a policy in an interview.
Click to expand...

what 5 years of failed galatico attempts are you referring to?

I often hear of our supposed "galatico" approach in recent times but put our dealings under closer inspection and i don't think we have been "galatico" mad. who are these supposed galaticos? di maria is one, fair enough, it didn't work out. pogba is an amazing player and we're lucky to have him. ibra was crucial this season and a free transfer. falcao? we didn't buy. bastian? came for cheap and was at the end of his career at the highest level.

outside of that we have bought some "good" players but hardly galaticos; mkhitaryan, scheneiderlin, herrera.

tweeting this for no reason after we're linked with Lacazette, knowing its gonna wind Utd fans up? It comes across as mighty cnutish

Yeah, he definitely tries to wind up United fans as he has nothing better to do

There haven't been any really. A galatico to me is someone at the height of their powers, not being fobbed off with someone who was great, but no longer is or someone the selling club wants rid of. They want rid for a reason.

If we sign him it's for the first team, and Martial has been shite for ages.
Click to expand...

For ages? He has been here for less than 2 seasons and had one bad season. Martial has to been given more chances especially at the start of the next season, if he still plays badly then Perisic can start.
 
GM K said:
These can't justify a hundred million price tag. He's had 17 injuries in four years. Way too risky. About 60 million would be fair.

If he was seriously on the market for 60m, I reckon he'd have at least 20 suitors. I'm not saying he is worth 100m, but I think Real could well hold out for what they paid.

Let them hold out then. Next year his value would begin to drop and when that happens it will be downhill..

So if we buy him, we are buying him so that he sits on the bench? That doesn't even make sense.


I have watched him a couple of times, and I'm sure he will start ahead of Martial.

football is crazy these days. 21 year old with bags of potential had a storming first season and an average to poor one this year and people talk as if he should be thrown in the bushes already.
