Perez does love Bale but you have got to think at some point he may think enough is enough.
If getting Bale didn't change our decision on Griezmann I'd be all for it, but at the moment Griezmann is the superior player and what we really need. Whilst Bale has that X factor which we miss, Griezmann possesses more of what we miss, and that's clinical finishing.
O yeah totally agree. Griezmann has to be number one priority in the Summer. Bale would be an absolute fantastic bonus on top.
Just some months ago, not a chance in hell. But 2 things have changed: 1) Ronaldo has not declined as people expected and still has enough in the tank to be Madrid's franchise player for a while. 2) Isco, Asensio are playing very well and they're young, Spanish and cheap.
If it's not a swap for De Gea I would rather we have no interest.
World class when fit. Even when he doesn't influence games for a large portion of the match, more often than not he plays a decisive pass or scores an important goal.
Think he's gone cold on Bale this season hence the sell rumours. Benzema is still Florentino's man crush isn't he?
Quality second goal right now.
In fact, with the 2nd he has scored today, he has 18 goals and 6 assists overall this season with Madrid.
His overall record for Madrid is I think 70 goals in 130 games or close to that. For a wide player that's pretty good. Considering there were doubts over his ability at highest level when he signed I'd say playing a major part in two champions league final wins and posting that record more than justifies that investment.
All depends on Martial
that actually happened! It's just that he's always been so much more than pace
Imo Bale is good in tight spaces and he doesn't need space to triumph. He's truely world class. If he is at his best I'd happily keep him instead of trying Salah for Real Madrid for instance. Now, that's one player I feel needs space to shine.
Spot on.
)I rather not give Madrid the money back that they spent for him. They want to get rid of him, let's make them do it at a loss.
Exactly. 100M, given his injury record and the fact that, as you said, Madrid seem to want to offload him shouldn't mean we spend that much on him.
No more than 50 million pounds if we do move for him.
He has talent but it's too much of a gamble even at 50 million pounds. He's out for months every single time he's tackled. His numbers might be good for the amount of time he played but we don't have an Isco, Asensio or Lucas Vasquez if Bale is out.
It's such a dilemma for me because he is such a feckin talent . If we could know the future and have him fit for 70% of a contract I'd do it.
