I don't think we would get him for £40million. We paid £30million for Berba. Levy is THAT good.I still struggle with the idea that Manchester United couldn't afford £40million for a player. He'll be on the move and it'll be a crime if we aren't interested.
If he is going, he's going for a huge amount of money. Not some money and dredge.£30m plus Anderson and Young should clinch it.
I'm inclined to agree with this as well, sadly.If he is going, he's going for a huge amount of money. Not some money and dredge.
As it is, I think there's a good chance he'll stay one more season. Whether that's because he wants to or because Levy forces him to, we'll see. Next summer he'll 100% be elsewhere though, regardless of where we finish next year (if he does stay this summer).
Its going to be either 50m+ cash or 60m plus Anderson and Young to convince Spur.£30m plus Anderson and Young should clinch it.
Looked very resigned to leaving to me when he trudged off at the end.If he is going, he's going for a huge amount of money. Not some money and dredge.

Even so, we make huge amounts from commercial sponsorships and are about to sign what will probably be the biggest kit deal in the world, if we can't shell out money now and again it's a scandal.I don't think we would get him for £40million. We paid £30million for Berba. Levy is THAT good.
It would be a good deal for us, since Anderson really has been gash in spite of his injuries. As for Young, forget it, he supports Arsenal so, that could be a no-no.Its going to be either 50m+ cash or 60m plus Anderson and Young to convince Spur.
Do you honestly think United is going to bid 50m or 60m for Bale? I would have nothing against it but it just doesn't seem usual for us. It's not going to happen.Even so, we make huge amounts from commercial sponsorships and are about to sign what will probably be the biggest kit deal in the world, if we can't shell out money now and again it's a scandal.

We bidded £30 million for Sneijder, Hazard, Sanchez and Lucas so why not £50 mil for someone better than all of them.Do you honestly think United is going to bid 50m or 60m for Bale? I would have nothing against it but it just doesn't seem usual for us. It's not going to happen.
We are almost certainly losing one of our 'marquee' players though, we will get 30m-40m for Rooney. Maybe 15-20m for Nani as well, not to mention SAF as retired. This isn't a normal summer id be amazed if we didn't sign a top player this summer and Bale is probably the best of the lot.Do you honestly think United is going to bid 50m or 60m for Bale?

That's not very ridiculous for City. Slightly more than what Yaya is making.City will also be after his signature I reckon but no doubts he'd choose us over them unless they offer something ridiculous like 300k a week.
They appear to have reigned in their huge wage payouts after FFP came into force. Hopefully that prevents any stupid offer like that.That's not very ridiculous for City. Slightly more than what Yaya is making.
We've spent most of our recent history breaking transfer fee records...the costs of players have just risen (ridiculously) but its not unheard of from us.Do you honestly think United is going to bid 50m or 60m for Bale? I would have nothing against it but it just doesn't seem usual for us. It's not going to happen.
3 years I think.How many years left on his contract?
That lad that was on loan to your lot for 8 years before coming to his true home and banging them in isn't bad either.New thread - the old one is too long and is like a history of him going back through the annals.
This guy is the best player in the league - and comfortably.
He can score out of absolutely nothing in a way that only really Ronaldo and Henry were able to do. He is peerless in this division.
The best player in England, and probably in the top four in the world.
We need a new thread. This guy is dynamite.
You prick.Well that was a bold thread title considering he won the player of the year award.
What? RvP has scored some mental goals this year. Bale shoots every time he gets the ball, you'd expect him to score more.Nah, I've got to the point now where I don't think RVP is close, all bitterness aside.
Bale is the ultimate pressure footballer. How many times has he pulled out ridiculous goals in the last few minutes of games? West Ham, Southampton and now Sunderland are just three examples of contenders for goal of the season, and they've all come in the last five minutes.
That is astonishing football that I don't even think RVP is capable of.
Lot different doing it for Spurs and doing it for United though. Saying RvP "isn't even close" is also ridiculous even though I agree he has been the better player this season.Nah, I've got to the point now where I don't think RVP is close, all bitterness aside.
