It said that we could afford our other targets, so you could sign the targets you listed and then sign Bale. And the bigger we become as a brand the more we'll be able to spend.

They work in euros so it would only be £73m to give them back the 100m euro they paid for him.
You know, there's the small fact that he isn't really that good, and for that amount you could actually improve the whole squad in 3 positions with genuine quality. Setting a precedent of overpaying for targets is never good. For the club or the player themselves.
Aye, but the article says we are preparing £100m.
But the article says £, not €.
What he said apart from Clyne, even I don't want him.
Same, 200m and a blowie from Woodward and I wouldn't care.Couldn't care less what we pay, it isn't my money and we'd still be able to afford our other targets, Bale
Too much chat!
But your not understanding my point, were hardly going to throw all our chips on a winger and not sign those other players mentioned or others in that position, also your guessing those prices as well from rumoured articles.
I think the one reason I desperately want Bale is that we have no one in our team who can produce something special out of nothing, after Ronaldo left only in RVP's first season I felt that we had a player all our opponents genuinely feared. I watch Hazard & Sanchez and their teams can be playing incredibly bad and yet they provide the spark. Sadly Di Maria has not had that impact for us
Dont care how much we pay for Bale. I dont see why anyone else would. Its not 2005-06. We negotiated those sponsorship deals with some of the words leading brands to get us in a position where Man City and Real Madrids spending would pale in comparison compared to ours. If we got Bale along with a few other proper quality signings, I could see us pissing through teams next year.
I'm biased towards Bale because to me he is a United player. He's everything a United player was designed to be. When you think of United players, you think of wingers tearing through full backs. Or at least I do. That's the type of player I want at United. He's still so young and has lost none of his talent. I'd sell my Cat's two left paws for him to be here next season.
Real Madrid is all about spin as well. If we put in a huge amount, they can spin it like a great deal without losing face that their biggest signing has left. And hopefully they use that money to snatch Hazard from the rent boys.

I agree, Im a Hypocrite because I hate that in this thread too but had to get that out there, anyway rant over, more muppet tweets please
@Summit @DWelbz19 Sorry what I meant to say was...that article sounds like bs because surely madrid would be happy with getting enough money to break even on the bale transfer and surely they wouldn't reject 100m euro (£73m) for a under performing player who isn't even liked by the fans. The number Ogden has picked just seems like a random guess he has made to make a good headline.
I hope we sign Clyne *runs away*
We are top 3 in the world in terms of revenue, possibly even no.1 now after our recent deals but even we are not beyond FFP. If we spend too much now, it could hit us in future transfer windows when we may really need to spend. Thats why its best to spread that money around and get 4, 5 or 6 top class players for 150mil or so.
Me too *runs with you*
DiMaria can do it, as he showed in his first few games. He stopped doing it though after those early games.
50 million is the max I'd pay for him at this stage.
I can't beleive how much Bale is being undervalued here, yeah clearly he isn't worth £100mil but come on, he's still a fecking amazing player and he would improve any team in the world. Suppose he isn't the flavour of the week right now...
If his name was a bit more foreign sounding, such as Gündobale then he would be rated much higher I reckon.
Take it somewhere else ffs.
Ah, I apologise in this case. Was left under the impression that he hasn't broken through yet.
Why are so many against Clyne joining?
Is it due to wanting Rafael to get a chance (better player?), or want someone different. Tbh he's proven in the Prem, still young so should improve and plays for a side which plays an impressive tactical game so he's got the know-how of your typical energetic full back, and a pragmatic style too.

Probably want Caf favourite and not very good right back Seamus Coleman.
I honestly think Depay could be as good as Bale, not to mention a quarter of the price!
4 pages for essentially 2 tweets 
Thought something major had happened when I saw 4 new pages!

Rather have Fabinho from Monaco.
Think those article are merely pointing out we have that much money to spend should we need to. I don't see us bidding that much for Bale.
So...back to the tweets.
If the next post isn't a transfer related tweet, I'll be transfer forum banning the poster for two days (if I remember to lift it then)

No real new names but just to get this back on topic with tweets, also these names are starting to be mentioned quite heavily by a lot of "Reliable" journos
now Im just trying to think from last window who we did sign from all the names mentioned and I can only think of Shaw and Herrera so I guess i wont
get my hopes up on any of them yet.

Totally agree. He is built for English football and is still only 25. Stupidly talented player and when he went for a world record fee to Real it was justified. Still the same player but circumstances haven't been as straightforward as last year. People who talk about this season like it has done irreparable damage to Bale's game are wrong IMO.
And expired ...

The Handanovic one is interesting, he's supposed to be the best young keeper around, anyone who's watched him a bit would he be a good replacement for de Gea?
EDIT: Is Di Marzio still considered reliable too?

Handanovic is 30.
He's 30, isn't he? From what I've seen he's good but a big step down from DDG.
