Transfer Rumours Summer 2022 Transfer Window

I get the idea here but it isnt that simple. At Madrid he should have been a club legend and instead he was constantly whislted and jeered by fans. He would be loved here so it may be different.

Also, some have said he isnt the player he was. Which is of course true, but we are competing for 10th in the Premier League, up against Palace & Villa. We aren't competing to win the Champions league 5 times in 9 years. He doesnt need to be as good as he was.

 

When was his loan spell at Spurs? 2 years ago now? He looked finished then tbh, I just don’t think he has the desire to be training/playing day in day out. He’s had a fantastic career obviously and maybe he is looking for one last contract with a club he has a connection with (hence the links to us and Cardiff) but I don’t think it will be a good move for us bar the sentimental reasons, and training room influence before you know who says it

 

All fair points and I completely agree there is a chance he is past it now. But I think it would b every low risk. Obviously there would be no fee, it would just be a 1 year deal (maybe even 6 months to take him to the world cup) and if he would be joining us or Cardiff he clearly wouldn't be doing it for the money so might not be that expensive in wages.

I don't think it will happen, but the romantic in me can't help but think it would be a fitting end to an incredible career and he might just still have some magic about him.

 

Who would you rather see coming off the bench at 2-1 down. Bale or Djenepo?

 

Played 20 times in the league under Mourinho at Spurs and managed 11 goals. He’d have comfortably been our top scorer in that form! The Bale thing is so complicated. He’s been ripped by the media and fans in Spain for little real reason other than he doesn’t embrace Real Madrid as anything more than a job and an employer. He’s played incredibly well in reality and achieved a heck of a lot in his time there, in spite of the way he’s been treated. He’s an incredible player.

I’d have him at Saints but obviously a massive asterisk over his salary. It would be entirely dependent on that really. I don’t think it will happen though.

 

This. I'd take him like a shot but I just can't see it happening.

 

If Bale could give 75% of the passion he gives to Wales he would be an excellent addition, on the topic of old boys l would like the Ox back!

 

He's getting paid more than Mane, a major contributing factor to his move apparently.

 

It was only a pipe dream!

 

What makes you think Ralph would make a change at only 2-1 down?

 

This is an excellent point. Injury?

 

Cardiff actively trying to sign Bale now!

 

I mentioned Bale a year ago coming to us and everyone had a good laugh, now Cardiff are looking to sign him just 1 year later!!!

 

I'm old enough to remember the late, great genius, George Best signing for Dunstable Town in the peak of his career, anything is possible!

I could certainly see Bale playing for his boyhood club and tearing up the Championship.

Would be great for us If he could stay fit.
How much of his lack of games has been injury and how much has been bad management?

 

Don’t I know it! The flagellation of supporting Saints should surely guarantee me a place in heaven or upgrade my future afterlife! The highs of the FA cup and Marcus to the lows of Lowe and everything between and after.

 

He'd definitely be a gamble, he's missed almost as many games as he has played for Manure...

Not sure he’s worth the gamble given his injury record and presumably would have to take a massive pay cut to come here too.
