Gareth Bale

[bluemoon32]

Is Bale the start of the end where someone has to put their foot down somewhere and say that's just ridiculous.

Only say this as Rodgers has pointed out that if Bales worth £100 million then they have every right then to probably ask for £130 million for Suarez

whose the better Suarez or Bale???

Imo it's Bale and he'll only get better, that being said, he aint worth anything like £100,000,000

It's not a matter of who is better, it's a matter of who can attract a higher bid.
If a rich club such as RM believe their problem position can be solved by buying Bale (and there are no other players available that can do the job) then they'll bid for him. If the selling club isn't desperate for cash, and Spuds don't appear to be, then the price will be unrealistically high to force a deal. If a club needs a player like Suarez and there are several available or the selling club needs the cash then he'll go for less money whether he's a better player than Bale or not.

If Bale was available for £20mill down and the rest on the drip the queue of clubs wanting to buy him would stretch round White Hart Lane several times. This is another Real style transfer MO, unsettle the player by publicly saying they want to sign him for a ridiculous figure and then try and get him on the cheap( relatively) because the player is angling for a move there. The selling cub either have to hang on to an unsettled player or agree to Real's terms. It stinks, but of course being the mighty Real they can get away with it.

It does amuse me when you have Brendan Rogers spouting bollocks about Suarez not being for sale for less than £100m. And actually AVB saying much the same.

Well guess what, wake up Brendan (and AVB). ITS GOT FUCK ALL TO DO WITH YOU.

My mother has as much clout as Brendan Rogers and AVB in determining what happens to Suarez and Bale. Long gone are the days when this sort of transfer has anything remotely to do with the selling club's manager.

95% of transfers are done on the drip

For us, yes. However, Madrid are better than us and don't need to spread it around 4 players so if they signed the 4 players that we did, would that improve them? No. Would signing Bale? Yes

That is so true, they just need the match winner to compliment what they have, the superstar to sell the shirts

Given the choice, I think i'd have gone for just Falcao and Fernandinho

What good are 4 strikers when only 2 can realistically play? Falcao is on a different level to other players.
