Wherever he ends up I hope he gets a chance to shove it up Real’s ass on the pitch.
Would love it to be with us, he nutmegs Ramos then scores a worldie, runs over to the touchline and does the love heart in Zidane's face.

Dier runs from our bench and headbutts Zidane in the chest, chaos ensues....

The thing that would concern me would be that Real Madrid is so clearly the absolute culmination of his dreams that would his heart be in any subsequent team? Would he remain motivated?

Thankfully we won't to have to worry about this at all.

Just hope he don't end up at United. Him replacing their weakest link, Lingard, at RW would improve them drastically.
Lingard is nowhere near their weakest link. They have issues at the back, midfield and are trying to offload their centre forward.

As I understand it the "Project" is a five year plan, but within that Poch seems to be selling that we can achieve rapid change as well as building for the future. We are certainly going the right way about it, but there's no doubt that getting Bale would propel us on to the world football stage. Perhaps Levy is tying in to the naming launch.

"Propel us onto the world football stage".

We've just played in the Champions League final.

Gotta be PSG. Only team in ze virld who can both afford and would want him.

As things stand, they cannot afford to buy him straight up with FFP siutation.
One way possible, is somehow to do a Neymar-Bale swap. But given Neymar wants to go to Barca, I find this difficult.

As for as us, lets forget it. Its not going to happen. Financially, this is a no go for us

I was thinking that either Neymar in a swap, or they are counting on Neymar leaving, and use the cash now, and sell Neymar to balance the books in a week or two.

Bayern makes so much sense. Huge club, Bale with point to prove at the highest level (CL, domestic titles), able to pay big wages due to fan base etc, clubs have a good relationship since taking James Rodrigues on loan, both Adidas sponsored teams, and with Robben and Ribery finished, it’s exactly the position they desperately need to fill with a name. 2+2....

Bayern’s highest paid player is on €225,000 per week, which is roughly what Kane is on. If we can’t afford Bale’s wages then Bayern will also struggle, unless they’re radically altering their wage ceiling.

It gets on my nerves when people complain about how much professional athletes earn an how it's an obscene amount of money.

No one put a gun to the head of the team executives and forced them to pay X amount of money for X amount of years. They agreed to pay it and every player and agent is well within their right to milk the club dry, especially in situations when the club no longer wants the player.

If you think football players earn a lot check out what some NBA and MLB players earn and I'm not talking about max contract players.

You can't accuse an athlete of being motivated by money because whether you realise it or not, we all are.

Gareth Bale is doing the right thing.

It has to be Bayern. There’s no way that Inter or Napoli could afford him, too much ego at Juve and the Manchester clubs are out. So it has to be Bayern.

Right??

Nice golf courses nearby to him in Portugal. Maybe he fancies Porto

Just praying it’s not to another PL team. Would make me sick watching him play for one of our rivals.

If it happened they’d immediately have the best player in the league on his day. I don’t want him coming back to the PL if it’s not to us.
