What i find weird about the entire situation is that even if Bale drags you back into the champions league you're still not going to invest heavily enough in order to win or in order to win the league, he could get injured in the first game next year then what will you do you dont have anyone else or a united team to cover for him. So preach on he will stay and I think he will stay and so what he stays and you finish 5th because he certainly isnt going to get any better than this season and could actually decline as he is shut down alot more.
So basically bale is staying for a shot at fourth and potentially getting to the quarter finals? I mean you just have to look at it this season, united were poor but consistent, city were crap. chelsea had managerial issues and were roundly derided as crap and arsenal only bothered to start playing at the end of feb and all those teams still put you in fifth and this is with bale having the season of his life, with all those teams investing heavily in summer and some with new managers plus the added threat of liverpool and theres always a surprise team why this massive thrill that bale is staying whats gonna change?
