A loan would be a good deal. People seriously downplaying how good he is when fit. Just need to keep him fit, right!?
We would have to pay him stupid wages which is precisely one of the things we're trying to move away from.A loan would be a good deal. People seriously downplaying how good he is when fit. Just need to keep him fit, right!?
Most reports have Madrid paying at least half of his wages.We would have to pay him stupid wages which is precisely one of the things we're trying to move away from.
United have been after him for like 5 seasons now. If he really wanted out, he would be here already.I really don't get this whole, "he just wants to play golf and that hes generally disruptive" thing
When he joins up with Wales is that all he does as well?
He's clearly unhappy at Real and needs a change of environment. Do people not have their own experiences of being unhappy at work or where you live and need to change it up when things become stale.
Not when he's being paid a ridiculous wage that no one is willing to match.United have been after him for like 5 seasons now. If he really wanted out, he would be here already.
He is still in Madrid because he doesn't want to push for a move.
Half his wages are still north of 300k a week.Most reports have Madrid paying at least half of his wages.
Those three players cannot and will not play 60 games each this season. We have the most compacted season in the history of the game. Game time will not be an issue.Would his signing take playing time away from Greenwood ? That would be a concern. To put Bale in, one of Greenwood/Rashford/Martial would have to get out.
Why not Rory McIlroy? He's a United fan at least!As someone said on Twitter, if we’re going for a golfer we may as well get Tiger Woods.
I think if anything it would benefit them to have one of the most decorated and talented players in our lifetime playing alongside them.Would his signing take playing time away from Greenwood ? That would be a concern. To put Bale in, one of Greenwood/Rashford/Martial would have to get out.
He pushed for a move last season and they denied it last minute.United have been after him for like 5 seasons now. If he really wanted out, he would be here already.

Why the feck do people in the caf think people die at age 28?!?!?He’s 31 yes? Can he still run? I know technically he can but for 90 minutes?
...and that's the issue. A sports career is short, and for the absolute elite you would imagine it would kill them to spend their peak/last years on the bench, barely playing.Not when he's being paid a ridiculous wage that no one is willing to match.
I know but his knees and hamstrings are quite fecked for a professional footballer? The team cannot carry a player like we did with Sanchez. Also i do not know why Real aren’t playing him anymore when they are paying him 600K a week to be still at the clubWhy the feck do people in the caf think people die at age 28?!?!?
Can he fecking run...I am 30 in a few months and nowhere makes me feel older than the fecking transfer forum !
Absolutely fecking not.Completely agree with that statement. Its not the direction ole is trying to go. However a loan without an obligation to buy and Madrid paying 50% or more of his wages with no loan fee involved could be alright. Class is permanent. Just look at Rodriguez against spurs (ok thats one game) but it lifted the everton dressing room. A 4 x champions league winner walking into the dressing room is bound to have an effect.
I think you're finished and over the hill. Fancy a retirement home in China or the US?Can he fecking run...I am 30 in a few months
None of them needed to cos they never found themselves in the same situation, it's just hypotheticals. Show me a player that was on a outrageous contract that decided to give it up for more playing time, there are players that take minor pay cuts, but Bale would be needing to take atleast a 60% cut before a European team would even consider him....and that's the issue. A sports career is short, and for the absolute elite you would imagine it would kill them to spend their peak/last years on the bench, barely playing.
Can you imagine Ronaldo sitting on a bench for the last few years because he'd rather add £20m to his net worth instead? Messi? Rooney? Giggs? Scholes even came out of retirement because he couldn't bear the feeling that he still had something in the tank - something more to give. Even now he's regularly playing 5 a side because he loves this game, to quote Uncle Pat.
Bale has every right to sit on his contract, of course, but conversely people have every right to doubt his committment to the game and to getting the most out of his undoubted talent.
I think we as a fan base need to simmer our expectations on Greenwood a little. A top talent he most definitely is but he's not an RW and also if you can sign Bale on loan (who when fit is one of the best players around in that role) there should not even be a conversation about if Mason will lose minutes. He's 18 years old and would get minutes as No9 in the cups and also is backup RW to a new signing.Would his signing take playing time away from Greenwood ? That would be a concern. To put Bale in, one of Greenwood/Rashford/Martial would have to get out.

We have Ighalo for that? Would be pointless to sign Sancho, Bale on Loan and Ighalo on Loan when we have Greenwood.If Bale wants to come on loan it doesn't mean Sancho can't be signed, Bale could come as a striker on loan.
It's not like rotting on the bench at Madrid is good for Bale.
Ighalo isn’t half the player Bale is.We have Ighalo for that? Would be pointless to sign Sancho, Bale on Loan and Ighalo on Loan when we have Greenwood.
Signing Bale means Sancho will not happen this window.
Sanchez most recently.Show me a player that was on a outrage contract that decided to give it up for more playing time, there are players that take minor pay cuts, but Bale would be needing to take atleast a 60% cut before a European team would even consider him.
Rooney to EvertonFabrizio Romano has reported that Alexis Sanchez has left a staggering £17m on the table to quit Manchester United for Inter. The Chilean has agreed a massively reduced €7million per year salary at Inter in exchange for a long-term contract - due to his desperation to play regularly.
Bonucci took a big pay cut to rejoin Juventus...and there was a lot of talk from high tier journalists about Neymar being willing to take a significant cut to rejoin Barca, but obviously that didn't pan out.Bill Kenwright: “He was so determined to come home and, as you know, he gave up half of his salary to do so."
