If he's going to Real madrid then there's nothing we can do about it, they're one of the few teams, perhaps the only team that we can't compete with. However, they surely have to sell if they are to bring anybody else in which still means that there will be a world class attacking player on the market come the summer. We should be going all out for whoever Real Madrid cast aside. Probably due to financial restraints but we didn't bother with Di maria, Sanchez or Fabregas last summer, We can't let one of our league rivals bring another world class player in unopposed this summer.
Completely agree. And if there's any chance at all of signing Bale we should be all over it. If he goes to the scum they'll be as big a threat as Chelsea. It's sad to see those heinous wankers having something of a resurgence, I though t we'd seen the bastards off with the 6-1 and the Moyes era.
That was always wishful thinking on the parts of many a blue. Our good fortunes simply meant we were joining the league, not that they were leaving. Now we will be in the running most years, and so would they. Every now and then someone would have a deep in form, but only to regroup and fight again. That should be the expectation. We just have to be ready year in year out.
Personally, I hope Isco gets the pink slip, and we go all out to get him here. He is the Real player I covet the most. But if anyone in Madrid is watching, they probably see the obvious, and wouldn't let Isco go. My believe is that Benzema's is the likely candidate to be dropped. Ronaldo moving to striker, and the 4 (Reus, bale, Rodriguez, and isco) will rotate amongst the 3 positions, with Jese backing up Ronaldo.
But I still hold out hope that they sell Isco to us.
