Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale, 26, is set to turn down a new Real Madrid contract in favour of a move to Manchester United, Manchester City.or Leicester City.

 

Hmmm, is that Leicester bit on the original article? I smell a rat!

 

... blimey ... must be a ghost in the machine... thanks for pointing that out ...

 

Betteridge's law of headlines: Any headline that ends with a question mark can be answered with the word no.

Bale's due a new deal. This is part of the negotiation process for players in Spain, for some reason.

 

1. Time to adopt <Betteridge> for these articles.

2. Using Ozil as the template, which player out there can Perez sign to sate the get Real Madrid
plastics with Bale outgoing ?? Aubemayang ??

 

It's supposed to be Rodriguez leaving and Hazard joining, I believe.
Not sure if the latter still counts as big signing, following this season's performances, but both kinda make sense.
Plenty of rumours about Isco, too.

 

Which doesn't fit a 'Bale leaving' Narrative (TM) . So a definite <Betteridge> here.

 

Usual tabloid bollocks. I mean, Leicester?! Come on!...

 

.. ... have a read from the top NSIS ... there might just have been some poetic licence with the original BBC article ... needless to say, and in deference to that master coarse fisherman HIAG ... I'll just pop you in the 'keep net' for now

 

I just read the article. It matters not, Bale won't go anywhere, he'll sign a new contract with Real.

 

Personally, I wouldn't mind Bale at £ity.

 

Taff will not be going to UTD, so ££££ it will be

 

Does Luis not rate him?

 

... he already has Smalling and Jones

 

If Bale was there at the moment you could be certain he'd be back at full back.

 

He would be an unused sub

 

N'Kante to whoever triggers his 20m release clause ??

 

.. wouldn't get too excited ... of those rumoured to be interested, it will be a straight fight between PGS and Real Madrid ... the release clause hasn't been confirmed or denied but he will also be given the option of staying on a vastly improved contract ... only time will tell ... if he does want to go, and PSG are indeed interested, then that's where I think he will go ...

 

I saw it flashed up quickly on a "ticker" on Yahoo, and it appeared so quick I wasn't sure I read it correctly anyway.
20m + 1 bid from Arsenal : incoming !!!

 

He's just what Arsenal need. Which means Wenger won't bid for him...
