Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Villafirst]

I think Bale is a fantastic player and to think MON enquired about him on a loan deal at one point when Spurs fans didn't rate him in the early days after his transfer from Southampton.....

[olaftab]

I think Levy would be mad to turn down £60m let alone £80m for a very dodgy asset!

Bale is one hamstring twang or knee twist from turning into Owen. Loads of injury time out and never getting back his form ne once had.

So like any footballer, he's a bad injury away from retiring from the game.

What effect does that have on his value?

I never said retiring. I said he won't be the same player for the type of player he is i.e. his pace is a huge part of what he does, like Owen. Once he's had a bad knock, he won't be the same.

I wasn't really commenting on his value, just my observation on the type of player he is.

Spurs' physios need to get hold of him and give his ears a good crinkling. It worked with Benteke.

Also, Rooney and Suarez appear to be a pair of classless fuckwits, whereas Bale does seem to be a decent chap and a good pro.

Well, apart that is from all the cheating diving stuff

Yeah, but that's not going to put off potential suitors.

Buy Bale for £85m. Sell Ronaldo to Man U for £80m.

They're £5m down but have cunningly passed the problem of paying a 30+ player £200k a week Man U. Man U are happy as they've weakened a rival and boosted merchandising.

[Mazrim]

But Ronaldo is twice the player Bale is so I don't see why that's a good move for Real.
If they put Ronaldo and Bale behind or either side of a top striker.... awesome.

Except Ronaldo's 28 and I imagine that United would be quite happy with those problems whilst they win countless trophies with his goals for the next 7+ years. I hope the arrogant prick stays at Madrid for the rest of his career.

I read he's 29 pretty soon and is looking for another £200k contract.

Lee you might want to create some sort of distraction in the courtroom when PWS shows Exhibit A to the jury

The video has clearly been doctored, as anyone can see you've removed the scythe from Guzan's hands.

Lee I see you've dug up Johnny Cochran
