Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

[Thewobbler]

So Real don't want gareth back and will listen to offers. They're going to have to accept the man isn't just going to leave unless he gets the money he will earn from staying for his last year. Going to be another loan.

Going to Cardiff, would cause chaos there and pretty sure there would be rioting in Swansea as well, oh wait....

Would be an interesting shout with Ramsey, he’d love to play there week in week out I think

 

[PLTuck]

Roughly a goal every other game in a season where he spent half of it trying to find his groove after a shitty recent time in Spain is all the evidence I need to say sign him up for next season. Oozes class when his confidence is up. Just need to make sure the RB likes defending when Bale plays.

Would love for him to get one more season with us.

Me too but I just have a bad feeling it isn't going to happen.

Goal threat. Please sign for another year.

Moura, Lamela, Dele and while I like him Stevie would have all fckd up those breakaways

Goals and Gareth change games

I reckon he almost certainly comes back next year, personally. He gets one more proper season with the fans in the stadium and a solid six months of football behind him to build on, then his contract runs out and he can go to whichever country takes his fancy. Meanwhile, for Levy, it's a good way to slightly placate the fans in the event of Kane leaving. It makes so much sense.

I'd love him to stay for another season, and I cannot see why Levy wouldn't want to have him again on the same terms. The new manager selection will be crucial though... will the new manager want Bale or be looking to start with a blank canvas and focus on youth; and will Bale want to come back for another season depending on what his perception of the new manager and whether he would be in the manager's first team plans rather than a poorly-utilised squad player like under Jose.

 

[Tucker]

I imagine alot depends on if the new manager wants him. We don’t want to end up with him not playing like under Mourinho.

I would have him for another season though.

 

[DiamondLites]

Makes sense for us to extend the loan another season, he’s still a box office player which will be vital for season ticket sales, shirt sales and sponsorship/naming rights. Financially it could more or less cover any outlay on his wages. And he proved he is still a class above anyone else in our squad. I guess it would depend on the manager, but short of Zidane coming in or Jose coming back I can’t see a manager that would turn down a season of Gareth Bale

I'm of the opinion that any manager who wouldn't want Bale for another season shouldn't be hired.

Please stay here for another season. I'm certain that he could bag around 15 goals in the league alone if given proper game time.

 

[dontcallme]

Maybe it's my negative mindset regarding the club at the moment or it's easier to let go than hope for the best but part of me is resigned to losing Kane.

Supposedly doesn’t want to stay, can’t blame him. Just wish he had played more this season.

My guess is his plan wasn't to switch Real's bench for ours.

Only way we extend is if we hire a new manager quickly who really wants him.

He started nearly every game Lopetegui was in charge for at Real

As he wasn't manager in Bale's last season for Real Madrid I fail to see the relevance of your post.
