Gareth Bale

[sam-caddick]

He wants a Madrid move definitely in my opinion.

Bale says he prefers Spanish football:

Translated quote:

"I prefer the Spanish soccer to the others, it is very technical, they maintain well the ball. Whenever the Tottenham has played against Spanish teams we have had it difficult. Obviously, I would like proving other leagues and the Spaniard is my darling",

Whats sparked the sudden movement in this thread?

And this was posted in the Cavani thread:

City have lost interest in Cavani and won't be black mailed, by any club into paying inflated fees anymore. It's common knowledge around the club, that Cheeky and John ( Mcbeath ) have been working on the finances, of a major coup concerning one player. Nobody but the powers that be, know who this player is. What we do know, it's not Rooney Cavani or Lewandowski

One member of the staff was given a major hint, when he was told the players clubs home kit is White.

I wouldn't mind trying a new post just to gauge everyone's preference but don't wanna piss the mods off with another so I'll ask it in here.

Bale or Ronaldo?

Cos I reckon at 70m we wouldn't be that far away from Ronaldo.

Go on piss them off;) Bale for me for age.

 

[Citizen Jack]

Can't see us getting him. I just picture a gigantic bid being accepted and then bale telling us to fuck off with the papers milking how we got rejected and money doesn't buy success

 

[samharris]

i'm sick of us fucking about to be honest. we used to look over at the scum and could only dream about buying players of the calibre they did. now that we can and more we don't act on it. fucking infuriating if you ask me.

I know excactly what you mean Bill,, Its like them wankers who win the fucking Euromillions and then they buy their council house..

it isn't...I don't get anyone's frigging problem about Fernandinho and Navas with more to come when neither Chelsea, United, Arsenal nor Spurs have confirmed anybody at the moment.

It's like a bunch of toddlers "me want and me want now", it's utterly ignorant and stupid.

You tell em..

No idea if he/she is itk but anyone who posts roughly every 600 days must certainly choose their posts carefully.

I'd be in my tent outside the City store the night before to get Ronaldo on my City shirt and I don't even buy the new shirts.

 

[Plaything of the gods]

We might be able to afford him under FFP. Including Mario's sale, our net spend right now is about £15million. £70million on Bale would push that up to £85million. Correct me if I'm wrong but various people have said we could comfortably spend £100million - and we are also likely to sell Kolarov and Lescott - might get £10million for the pair.

I don't think there is much chance of this happening, but I don't think the concept is totally unrealistic.

Shell out £70m for Bale? Are you on the wind-up? Do you think Bale is worth the cost of Fernandinho + Navas + AN Other?

white? Spurs, Madrid(Higuain, Di Maria), Juve(technically, Vidal?), Valencia(Soldado), Santos, Atl. Miniero(Bernard), Lyon...

Could be a number of teams...

But only a few players out there that are a major coup. Can't think of any besides Ronaldo and Bale.

Depends on how you view football outside of your knowledge of City. All of the players above are of a great calibre and would be a very good signing, and depending on the interest of other clubs or just managing to agree a sale it would be seen as a coup by those who appreciate world football and aren't screaming and whining for a Galactico every 10 seconds.

Think we should all calm down. Imagine how disappointed we'll be when Kevin Davies is unveiled.

but this isn't just about a "very good signing," it's about a marketing asset and a statement of intent. ronaldo or bale are the only ones that fit that

For me a coup is relative to the clubs current standing. Those all would have been coups a couple years ago. I personally only consider the Robinho and Tevez signings as coups. At this point we are at the table with the big boys. All those players are fantastic, but not club changing.<br /><br />-- Tue Jul 02, 2013 2:58 pm --<br /><br />
