Does he still do that stupid hand thing when he scores?
Will we see you here in 5 years time repeating "Personally, I just saw something in Januzaj (Ronaldo) that meant I was more certain (you can never be fully certain) that he'd become great. So I wouldn't have taken such a deal involving Bale (Zidane)"?Personally, I just saw something in Ronaldo that meant I was more certain (you can never be fully certain) that he'd become great. So I wouldn't have taken such a deal involving Zidane.
Pogba just had a bit of everything. Again I always saw him becoming a good player. And more than anything - we had space for him. He was tailored made for our weakest spot in the team.
However, had someone offered me Modric in return, I'd probably have taken it. And would still go for Modric over him now.
I guess it's easy to say now though, and maybe I wouldn't have seen it this way back then.
As for Januzaj - I just don't see him in the same way others do. I'll be surprised if he hits the heights some (most?) United fans predict. I think some United players are underrated and some are overrated by United fans. Heck - maybe I am underrating him here right here.
I also think Bale is that rare type of match-winner that takes a team to a new level. Me being up for that deal probably says more about how good I think Bale is (and would be here) than anything against Januzaj.
Not quite true. Formal offers are often the last step of the transfer process - and made only when all the strings have been tied together, both with the seller club and the player (and his representatives). The intent was clearly there with Edwin in 1999, as it was with Neuer in 2011 and (possibly) Bale in 2013.Not quite true. Edwards had agreed a deal with Bosnich and Van der Saar knew of this. There was never a formal offer to Edwin. SAF has stated such.

http://www.sportskeeda.com/football...hampions-league-2008-unbelievable-moment-lifeMoving on to your playing career, Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted several times now, that you were his pick to replace Peter Schmeichel in '99. However, you ended up choosing Juventus that summer. Why do you think your transfer did not materialize back then?
Well, I told Ajax that I was leaving that summer and several clubs in Europe were interested in my signature. Sir Alex turned up a little bit late as I had already held talks with Juventus - and we came to a verbal agreement.
So, I think Ferguson wanted me but Ajax chairman was expecting more money from my transfer move.
Of course, I eventually moved to Manchester United later in my career but it is always good to hear from a top manager like Sir Alex that he made a mistake by not signing me a few years earlier. But then, I still managed to win 4 league titles and 1 Champions League trophy in my six years at Old Trafford - Not bad, is it?
The one that Di Maria does? Yes he does.Does he still do that stupid hand thing when he scores?
They should both be made to play in oven glovesThe one that Di Maria does? Yes he does.
So many started doing it, every fecking time. Gotze came up with a mutated version of XOXO. fecking hell. I like Mullers celebration, just stand and scream.They should both be made to play in oven gloves
Probably once we start winning titles we'll get that factor again.Can we not just start signing players that really want to play for us again?
More like an international symbol of being a titLoads of players do it, isn't it some international symbol of love or peace or something that was started to bridge language barriers in sport?
The last few times I have watched Wales play it's clear Bale gives the team a belief that they can win, thew whole team seems to step up a gear.
Best ever was cantonas arrogant what? I know I'm awesome one where he just stood there and looked like a godSo many started doing it, every fecking time. Gotze came up with a mutated version of XOXO. fecking hell. I like Mullers celebration, just stand and scream.
I don't want us to lose De Gea so I'd hope this would only be done if he tells the club he wants to leave, but there is no way Real are going to do a straight swap for the most expensive player in football history with a keeper who has a year left on his contract. We'll have to throw in another £60M at least.#mufc have been told they can sign Gareth Bale as long as David De Gea is included in a deal. [men]
On my phone so can't post the tweet properly, but I'd be against this, unless there is no way to keep De Gea. Id keep De Gea at all costs, but if his heart is set on leaving and we can't do anything about it, I'd take a straight swap probably. Only if there's no way to keep De Gea though.
feck the 60m, De Gea is a better keeper then Bale is as a winger, is younger, and there are less quality keepers around. The 1 year left would make it difficult though... Even so, I still wouldn't give too much on top of De Gea, for a player who probably won't be starting every week soon, with James and Isco just being more talented.I don't want us to lose De Gea so I'd hope this would only be done if he tells the club he wants to leave, but there is no way Real are going to do a straight swap for the most expensive player in football history with a keeper who has a year left on his contract.

Regardless of how you rate him in regards to Isco and James or in positional comparison to De Gea, that is still roughly the amount we'd have to add to De Gea if the deal was put on the table and De Gea told us he wanted to go.feck the 60m, De Gea is a better keeper then Bale is as a winger, is younger, and there are less quality keepers around.

He only has two options in Spain and Barca are set for keepers aren't they? So basically it means he'll go the bitter enemies of the club he grew up in. If you're right though I dread to think what we are going to do for a keeper, there aren't many impressive ones out there.De Gea's brilliant but it's inevitable he'll go back to Spain and if he's interested in going to Madrid then getting Bale in return is the best we could hope for really.
Lets just hope he extends his contract and we keep him for another 4-5 years yet at least.He only has two options in Spain and Barca are set for keepers aren't they?

Most definitely, there are plenty of quality attacking players out there but very few top class keepers.Lets just hope he extends his contract and we keep him for another 4-5 years yet at least.

No, he wouldn't.if not for the existence of messi and ronaldo, bale would probably be considered as the best footballer at this moment.
shame we didn't really use giggs to get him in the past. if he is going to leave real, i would consider us the favourite to get him though..

His current form this season wouldn't even put him in the top 5 Non Messi/Ronaldo group in my opinion.if not for the existence of messi and ronaldo, bale would probably be considered as the best footballer at this moment.

Not a chance. He's had a pretty average season so far, maybe his output says otherwise (not sure what his goals and assists are) but performances are barely top 5 in the Real Madrid team.if not for the existence of messi and ronaldo, bale would probably be considered as the best footballer at this moment.

Aguero, Robben, Suarez are all better than him.if not for the existence of messi and ronaldo, bale would probably be considered as the best footballer at this moment.

Not at all IMO.if not for the existence of messi and ronaldo, bale would probably be considered as the best footballer at this moment.

Er no, there's Robben, Agüero, Suarez, Lahm, Hazard and many more.if not for the existence of messi and ronaldo, bale would probably be considered as the best footballer at this moment.
