Gareth Bale

I really don't think Levy will sell Bale to an English club. United couldn't afford him anyway. Since when do they pay £50m+ for a single player? That isn't the Glazers MO. It'll have to be one of the Spanish giants or one of the foreign super-wealthy unless Bale makes demands to remain in the Prem. In which case only City and Chelsea could be in contention for the sort of money Levy would want, and he certainly wouldn't sell him to us.

So if Bale wants to leave, and an English club comes in for him, he'd have to really push for it. Though saying that, Modric really pushed to come here and Levy wouldn't budge.

True. Think a big factor in appointing Moyes may be that he fits in with the Glazer business model.
 
Utd can afford anyone they want, every year the same thing is said, Utd is broke they cant afford this player or that player but have spent more money then us in the last two transfer windows.

Just got a feeling that one of Valencia/Young will be sold along with Nani to accomodate such a transfer. BT money plus all these sponsorship deals may warrant even them spending just so they are not toppled by others. We'll keep our fingers crossed they don't!
 
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.
 
We just have to go all out for him, whatever the cost. If we allow the rags to sign Bale this summer then the title race is already over. Chelsea will add a top quality striker and the rags will have Bale setting up RVP and scoring a shed load as well.

Basically this. Bale can play on either wing, in the middle and even as a left back if we have an injury so he'd be cheaper than overpaying for average players to fill the squad. He's only going to get better. Him and Falcao would be ridiculous.
 
If he is leaving we have to be in for him same as Falcao, both seem to be available and would walk into any team, which is the problem everyone will be after them and it will be tough to get them. But the first thing we need is a manager/head coach, how will we be able to convince players to move here when we cant tell them to role or the position they will be played?
 
As a couple of posters have said he will not be sold to another English club.
