We need that man. Plain and simple. Break the bank City, do whatever it takes. He would transform us.

Levy will sell to the highest bidder, he will ask for more money from an english club but its standard practice when selling to rivals but everyone has a price. Not saying he well head to an EPL club with the money Real, PSG and Monaco have but wouldnt rule it out. Levy sold Carrick, Berbatov, Pienaar, Keane and Bent to rivals.
Why is it out of the realm of possibility that Bale and Ronaldo will play together? Seems like the next manager will need to find a way to interchange and create. Bale is clearly not just a left sided winger (considering his goal today).
If Real can clear Kaka and Di Maria's wages off of the books I can't see they can't keep both.

Castiel said:In their entire time at United the Glazers haven't once done anything to risk losing money. Spending £50m on Bale would be completely out of character for them. They don't care about the club or about football. They just care about sucking money out of it and subsidising their debt. I agree that Moyes was probably chosen because he's proven that he can work on a shoe string budget at Everton and stay successful (for them).
They can afford it, but the Glazers are only interested in the dollar signs. A £50m investment is not something they're likely to consider. RVP was out of contract, wanted to come and had Wenger by the balls. They'd never go above £40m if you ask me (if they'd even go that high), and history supports that assumption. Levy is going to extort whoever goes after Bale, I expect a transfer record. The idea of the Glazers parting with that kind of money is ludicrous imo.
load of bolloc*s, RVP cost 24 mil on last year of his contract, add 10 mil loyalty bonus + 10 mil a year wages - more than 70 mil for a 30 years old injury prone over a 4 year contract at rags
He'll definitely complete us in my opinion and is worth every penny. We'll make up the money for the transfer quickly as well. That said we still have no clue if he will be up for a transfer. But I trust in the boys upstairs and I'm sure they will know best what to do! I'll j*zz so much if he joins though..just saying :D

struggling to see what di maria is better at than bale.
Ric said:Evening Standard reporting that he has signed new £130,000 a week contract at Spurs.
Apparently he has a £50m buy out clause for the end of next season as well, which I assume is dependent on whether they make CL or not. Not 100%
This is bad news for us. If this didn't happen we should have thrown everything we've got at Spurs to sign him. Absolute game changer just like Van Pussy with the Rags

If that's the case, I think he's has sold himself short on a few levels. He could easily be better paid, play for a bigger club and play CL football elsewhere. He may regret this in the long term.

It may be good news as the rags have been linked with him a lot more than us.

Gareth Bale's new contract will include a ￡50m release clause which can be activated no earlier than Summer 2014. (Source: Independent)
Cavani buy out 50m, Falcao buy out 50m, Bale buy out 50m
I choose Bale

I think with our new bosses, if we went head to head with the rags for Bale, we'd get him!
I suppose we'll have to wait another year then.
Guess you have to commend his loyalty as he could have gone to any club in the world this summer. Problem for Spuds now is can Bale replicate this season? If not his value goes down and they will be kicking themselves for not selling him for silly money.
