So he could not outscore our mediocre forwards, and this is the guy we need? He played 29 games in the league alone so not sure where the 26 comes from.
In your words he is coming off "his worst season probably ever" and you want to sign him? A player who has rejected us in the past and Madrid are actively seeking to sell? If we are to be a pressing team he is not got it in him to run for 90 minutes any more and if you've seen him at Madrid the last 2 seasons you would see it. Why will he bounce back now with his fitness issues and degrading athleticism in a more physically demanding league? This is the kind of signing we slate Woodward for, getting in the big names who don't fit.
This. Sums up exactly why I feel we should not be in for him, and why I said his reputation exceeds his current level.
Came from whoscored so go have a moan at them if there stats are wrong lad, 26 starts however many from the bench.
And as have said three times now, if the option is there to TAKE HIM ON LOAN, not sign him permanently, want me to spell it out for you as you seem to be struggling to understand it.
He is way down my list, what I am saying is he would be a major upgrade on the absolute drivel we currently have!
So a guy has a poor season and that is him done and washed up is it? No coming back from it? I remember Giggs having quite a few injury problems, also remember a section of United fans booing him, saying he was done and past it, went on for another 3/4 years.
My choice of RW this summer would be Sancho (staying at Dortmund), Pepe (can probably see him going to PSG), Brooks (most realistic), and then Bale on loan.
If none of the other 3 are obtainable, you give me a choice between Mata, Lingard or Bale next season, there is only one winner.
If Woodward spent 80m+ on Bale and gave him 600k a week then I would agree with you. If he got him on loan for 12 months on the same wages we are gonna give Rashford, then personally think that would be a great bit of business.
Bale loan
Maguire 60m (De Ligt/Koulibaly look out of reach)
Rice or Partey 40m
Neves 50m
AWB 40m
Dybala or Felix 80m
Sancho 100m summer 2020.
That would do me big time!
