Gareth Bale

I think Bale is overrated personally, and don't think he would make us bridge that gap to Europe's elite level.

I actually think the opposite,in a world class team he would be even better.
At present he carries the majority of the attacking burden on his own,put him in a team with superior players,who are on a similar wavelength,and opposition defenders would have even more to think about,that being the case,i believe he could be devastating.

He is world class.

Exactly, if he had a Spanish or Argentinian name, we'd all want him. We were all excited about Sanchez, Di Maria and Hazard. I think Bale is better than two of them, and on a par with Hazard at least. I'd welcome Bale even more if Mancini is to leave and Pellegrini was to coach him. If Pellegrini can teach Joaquin new tricks, then he'll certainly make Bale an even better player.

Spurs wouldn't sell him except at an absurd price that nobody will pay - just my opinion you understand.

He would improve us massively and he is improving all the time no part down to his own hard work to be the best he can be. Whoever gets him will be lucky. Very unrealistic he would leave spurs yet and if so I doubt his first choice would be city.

Manchester United are thought to be preparing a £50 million bid for Spurs winger Gareth Bale, and want-away Wayne Rooney might be a crucial part of any possible deal.

The club were surprised when Rooney handed in his transfer but now believe it offers the one possibility of prising Bale away from White Hart Lane.

A bid of £26 million plus Rooney would be seen as almost impossible to resist by the Spurs’ board – solving, as it does, the club’s long-term weakness in the striker department and bringing in cash for a creative midfielder.

United, who have all but given up their pursuit of Ronaldo, see Bale as the next best alternative, but would be loath to meet Spur’s £60 million valuation out of cash resources.

Rooney, who is desperate to return to a central strikers role, is still waiting to meet new manager David Moyes to see if such a role can be guaranteed next season. Those close to Moyes say it can not.

Although United are unwilling to sell Rooney, the idea of using him to recruit a player of Bale’s calibre is not without attraction.

Are Cheshire Today often reliable with transfer scoops?

Hope not.

Bale to United is one of my worst fears.

To be fair...Bale has that 'rag look' about him...with his daft hair and punchable face
