Maybe a move to PSG makes sense, especially if Neymar does actually leave. It's probably them or us.
What next for Gareth Bale?
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Under the right conditions, such as a loan, where Real pay half his wages or some sort of cheap deal, I'd happily take him here for a year or two. It won't be us, though. I think it will be a team that surprises everyone.
Bayern loan I think
I wonder where he's off to.
Surely he wouldn't go to China at his age?

Half his wages!
He's on £600k there!
I hope we aren't the incompetent morons about to be suckered into a deal for a crock who never showed any interest in us.
I'd more than happily take him for 200-250K a week on a loan. I'd be delighted at that.
I can't see him going anywhere that cheap though.

He's going to Barcelona
I would take him on loan for a season on 250k a week wages to fill that right spot till we get Sancho.
This
At the rate they are signing players, I better start looking out for an agent
I don't know his current situation but I think with Neymar/Bale loans are really the option. It wouldn't shock me if we got bale on loan just like it wouldn't shock me if it was to pave the way for something else later. However, it might be Spurs..could be anyone! But that's how business is done
Unfortunately, this seems right up Woody's alley. Marquee signing for the season.
Maybe he'll go back to Spurs, but that'll mean a big chunk of his wages are being paid for by Real. Good bit of business from them I think, when he's not injured of course....which will be most of the time.
I think after the James situation real would be averse to loaning a player like that out.
I can't see who has to finances to buy him except us or psg though.
He is coming here, isn't he? It would also explain the lack of new signings
I think he will go to Bayern Munich.
I think you’re right.
I’m fine with him coming here if it’s a loan. Pace and power on the right.
Think it incredible how blunt Zidane has been about it. Think it is Bayern.
I'll be very surprised if it is not psg or N American club
I can't see Poch wanting him - I don't think he'd want an injury prone star on huge wages (even if they're subsidiaries by Real) when most of his first XI are arguably underpaid. Plus not sure where he'd fit in really. If this was last summer, I could absolutely see Woodward bringing him to OT, but I think that ship has sailed. Bayern might make sense as he could easily replace slot in as a wide forward, but Real would still probably need to subsidise his wages.
Our new #11 with Martial taking #9.
Are you being serious please. I can't tell or not mate?
Knowing how well we do transfers he's probably coming here and Pogba and 30m going the other way
No, just kidding. 0 links with us.
Really hope not. The only way I would take him would be on a short term loan, on a pay as you play basis, on a massively reduced wage which is never going to be a viable option. So he can stay where he is mate.
Glad you said that. Sorry but a lot of the time I can't tell whether someone is joking or being serious mate
Bayern bound it seems. Their players keep getting asked about him in the press conferences so something is going on.
Don't see him coming back to the PL. Wages would be a huge issue for most. Bayern just lost several big hitters off their wage bill so might explain how they can afford him.
Strange to give a CL contender a brilliant player like Bale though. He could come back to haunt them.

welcome to Curzon Ashton Gareth
Bayern or PSG you'd imagine. Bayern have that miracle doctor who turned Robben from a sick-note into a consistent world-beater again, so maybe they'd fancy their chances of keeping him fit.
With Greenwood looking like the real thing, I wouldn't mind Bale as a stop gap if he is relatively cheap.
Would Bayern pay crazy wages though?
Can't see Bayern going for him and if it was us we'd know about it.
Spurs loan for me to see out his Real contract. Then he'll go Stateside.

His agent will probably comment on this sooner or later.
Robben was a lot younger though. Bale is in his 30s now so to suddenly become a reliable and durable player would indeed be a miracle!
Surely only China or PSG would match his wages if Neymar is on his way out. No way Bale would crack Mandarin if he hasn’t got the hang of Spanish yet.
Savage from Zidane.
Have to admire Zidane in some ways. Doesnt fancy a player and goes all out to get rid of him. Whereas we tend to renew players contracts like confetti. We should have taken this approach with Sanchez and gone all out to get rid of the fraud.
Zidane is a being a massive twat by commenting so freely.
I hope Bale rinses them for every penny of the contract they gave him.
