Can't see spuds selling to another premiership team,if they do sell,he will go abroad IMO.
Sounds very likely but surely (Shirley) we have to at least try! Bale is a GENUINE game changer. End of!

You do know there is a difference between coming inside now and again to where there is a lot of space and playing in the hole for the whole game, linking up play in tight spaces don't you? No chance is his best position playing just off a striker.Zin 'messiah' Zimmer said:AlthamBlue said:Mancini doesn't use wingers. Why is he going to spend a shit load on Bale?
because his best position is playing through the middle off a striker, thats why!!!!
hertsblue said:Cant see spurs selling him tbh. I think spurs will finish top 4 and get CL so no need to sell and Bale seems happy at Spurs
Tend to agree to that.hertsblue said:Cant see spurs selling him tbh. I think spurs will finish top 4 and get CL so no need to sell and Bale seems happy at Spurs

Thenumber1blue said:Forget Bale ,he is quality but £40 + million and £100-£150k a week probably, doesn't add up anymore.

Could he not replace Marios contract?
Dzeko will also be off the books,as will Lescott and probably Barry in all probability - 350k/week?
RSC,Kolo and Bridge also saving us approx 300k/week.......

Why would we possibly sell Dzeko,he is the only natural finisher in the team!FantasyIreland said:Thenumber1blue said:Forget Bale ,he is quality but £40 + million and £100-£150k a week probably, doesn't add up anymore.

Ronaldo plays just off a striker, yes. Just off the striker, on the left. Bale can do the same, playing just off the striker on the left. Through the middle as you suggested? No, he can't, it's not his best position anyway, nor is it Ronaldo's.Zin 'messiah' Zimmer said:Joehannes said:You do know there is a difference between coming inside now and again to where there is a lot of space and playing in the hole for the whole game, linking up play in tight spaces don't you?

Educate me Cloughie
What you fail to compute is that he's easily managed by top level defenders for the above, the whole reason he has success off the striker is because he executes the conventional number 10 role perfectly numb nuts, which is playing right across the forward line and also dropping deep, his natural position, just like tranny and where he'll end up at a top level club......
now go clean my boots!!!

LoveCity said:Spurs were supposedly interested in Dzeko last summer and the Damiao move seems off for good so they will be after a striker. That said, would you sacrifice Dzeko (plus money) knowing he'd score 20+ a season in Spurs' system, to to get Bale? I probably would because we can get a goal scorer to replace Dzeko but it'd be hard to get a player like Bale who could make such an impact, unless Gotze or Di Maria were available.
Any interest in Bale could depend on if we really do change our system next season. If this 4-3-3 is a 'go' then we'd need a good left-sided player, Aguero would go on the right and I guess Silva would be one of the midfield '3' but ahead of Yaya and Barry/Garcia/whoever.
Freestyler said:He is EXACTLY the player we miss at the moment.
Imagine the room we'd get with Bale playing along side Aguero and Silva?
Add that to the amount of balls we'd get into the box and across goal, Aguero's dream.
We need pace, width and someone who can run at players and more importantly someone who can chip in with goals.
