Gareth Bale

He's scored 2 in the first half for real.

the first was a poached goal the second was a deflection and may still count as Ronaldo's goal

Problem is we dont seem to want to scrap hard for a player! We want the best then we have to start the bidding at around £65m! Homegrown, goalscoring winger, good age.......get him signed!

He'd walk into our side and help take us to the next level.
Much higher class of player than the dogshit we've been buying lately

anyone could walk into our team at the minute.

How will he play when there is 11 players in the penalty box to get through? The problem with us or our slow lethargic play teams can defend it so easily..

He can beat a man or three and whip a ball into the box, he can score a 30 yard wonder goal. The point is he demands the attention of opposition defenders. That creates room for our other players, they can’t all be double marked. It’s like with Barcelona – we give attention to Messi and they’ve Suarez or Neymar to do the damage instead. At some point the defence gives in.

No doubt we will be interested in him, but i can just see the rags throwing everything at him.

It's amazing how much better we'd be with just this one signing and a decent formation

Yaya Fernandinho
Bale Silva Nasri
Aguero

If we are not all in for him we're insane

True,Silva is employed in his best position and our long standing left sided weakness is solved.My only concern would be our lack of tenacity in central midfield against the stronger teams.
For the greater good,in that line up,i'd be happy to see Yaya replaced by someone more 'robust'.

Some of the 10+ player changes you see proposed when only 2 signings solve nearly everything -

Bale
Schneiderlein

I'd be half tempted to try a young english lb too possibly Cresswell or Mings as back up.

I agree. but we'd also need a new manager because pellegrini wouldn't set up like that unfortunately.
