Fully agree.

He's been crocked more than you want but , if he can stay fit, it's adding another genuine world class (yes, he is) talent to the side. Lukaku, Rashford, Pogba, Mkhitaryan (and Martial if he gets his shit together) and Bale firing on all cylinders is a hell of an attack.


If Perisic was much younger you'd say go for him but they're the same age, if it's a case of either/or, it has to be bale.

Seethe would also go through the roof as well.

Really? Care to post proof of my quoting sparky daily? Feel free to post a quote from EVERY DAY - in case you didn't know the meaning of the word 'daily'.

Very much ON.

Mourinho wants him. Zidane wants rid. We need less shithouses and more speed in attack.

Hopefully the blow makes Gareth cry, the sad chimp, then tears turn to righteous anger...



..we win the league.

If he has the qualities he had two years ago then sign him up, otherwise forget it.

Why do we seem to be going after players at least 2 years too late. Get the 20-24 year olds who are the replacements for these players. Currently good enough with the potential to develop further. Not aging players who you hope are still as good as they were and are only going to get worse. We've filled that quota with Matic.

Spurs have 1st option on him.

They'd never pay his wages, Kane is only on £125k a week or so. Bale would want double at least.

Anyone that wouldn't want him at United is mental, he's an amazing player.

Missed almost 30 games because of injury last season. That's why I don't want him.

They can't afford him, surely.

I'd still rather have him for half a season than not at all.

Just buy him ffs

I'll say this though.. It speaks volumes of Ronaldo's talent, work ethic and ability, that he is still number one there and Bale hasn't even gotten near him

Edit: he picked up another injury a couple of days ago

He played days later

He came on against MLS. Didn`t look injured?

What is this absolute ridiculous preconception that anyone over the age of 28 isn't worth buying?

Matic is 'only going to get worse' is he? Well we shouldn't have bothered then


The best squads always have a mix of youth and experience.

The experience tends to come from players that have been at the club for a while though.

Buying players late 20's early 30's rarely works.

The idea of Bale is great, the reality could well be an injury prone, sulking mess...

Real Madrid signed Zidane when he was 29. Bet they wish they hadn't of bothered.

I always thought a player was at his peak at 27-29
Perfect time to but a player, £#%&! this sell on value, we aren't spurs or everton

Buy what we need regardless of age
