    How's does Bale feel hearing that if Madrid pull a off a deal for Mbappe then he's toast? Way to feel loved.

    Be like shifting a lass with one eye open and bolting for a better looking one as soon as one walks by.

    Yeah seen that.. AS saying he failed to step onto Ronaldos boots when Ronnie was out and that he was bought to do that. Petty ****.

    Petty, but also probably true. He has done fine at Madrid, but he hasn't done world record fee top 5 in the world heir to Ronaldo fine.

    Graeme Hunter is saying that if Madrid get Mbappe this season Bale will be offered to United

    It is concerning I think that it's two weeks until the start of the season and we still don't have a DM signed.

    Hopefully sales week that ends well but I am concerned. Even with a DM signed if that's it, it will feel like an incomplete window but if we are only to sign one more player it just has to be a DM.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,688 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    It's frustrating but I believe we'll still make signings. Can see us sealing Matic and definitely see a potential Bale signing. We are apparently scouting derdoncker from anderlecht tonight who I feel would be a great signing for less than matic

    I dont mind that we are still looking for a player or 2 but I am little peed off that we have not got our DM sorted by now.

    I thought that and striker would be main priorities.

    But maybe we are getting it done just dragging out.

    Our shit should be sorted by now, no question about it. We've known what we needed for months, all the groundwork should have been done and dusted long ago, and even if we are like all the big clubs and waiting for a domino effect of big moves triggering other big moves thats still not an excuse, we shouldn't be relying on chance like that.

    But we have to wait and see, I don't think anybody outside the club knows everything that is happening so we can't judge one way or another.

    Tell you what though, start the season with Carrick in midfield and there will be ****ing hell to pay.

    The thing about Bale is that we'll never see anything from him (or his agent) about wanting a move. Never forget that players lose out when they request a transfer.

    I think we will sign him though. He ain't going anywhere else. Not sure whether it will mean Dave going the other way though.

    Him, matic and maybe Sanches would be a fantastic result.

    Bale getting linked to United :pac:
    Its the same every year since he left ffs.
    Its lazy journalism british footballer playing abroad off course he wants a move home:pac: lets link him to United the biggest club in Britian
    Why would Bale leave he doesnt step on Ronaldos toes in any way, Zidane loves him and Benzema is far more likely to leave
    Personally I dont see any leaving


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,324 ✭✭✭IncognitoMan


    Bale is a big name.

    Man Utd is a big name.

    Link the two together and sell papers.

    Simple.

    Ah lads, can we stop with the ridiculous statements. If we sign no more players then we'll all be majorly pissed off. That's about as far as it will go.

    If Bale is signed he is the best player in the league he is a dream signing.

    Commonly Known that Zidane prefers isco to Bale. Can't see them selling benzema now that morata is gone, they have no proper striker (Ronaldo isn't an out and out striker)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,638 ✭✭✭✭bangkok


    Bale going no where. He earns 600k a week and loves it at madrid and most importantly perez loves him

    Actually its commonly known Zidane prefers Bale hence why he wanted him fit for the final he just didnt make it in time. When ever the choice has been there its been Bale selected.
    Ronaldo plays as a striker anymore Benzema is on the left side of the trio where Mbappe is going to play

    I was on a tour of OT and we were told we couldn't go into the main pressroom because it was being used that day to announce the signing of two Norwegians. Solskjaer and Johnsen.

    Also very YAY worthy news.

    Manchester United held talks with Ander Herrera's representatives in the US and close to agreeing a new long-term deal.

    hmm when everything clicks for Perisic, he is some player

    Im slightly disappointed it wont be happening

    Obviously not. But when you use that statement it suggests that someone (Woodward) is going to suffer the consequences of not signing anyone, when in fact all that will happen is that us keyboard warriors will be angry. The statement was a bit OTT.

    In case anybody else was wondering, I am well aware that I am just some guy on the internet with no influence on the club whatsoever.

    I would have been happy with him.

    Rashford, Perisic, Martial and Mkhitaryan would have been nice options for those 2 wider roles up front.

    Maybe if mourinho feels this season is a failure (should we fail to win the league) because players he identified were not bought, he might not want to stick around for another.
