I agree with Vimhawk,plus the player's United are offering,can't even make a regular 1st team place there
There's a price for everything - even Bale! However, £55mil + a Utd reject ain't it! I would also say that if we have serious intent to be regular CL participants, we have to retain our top players, and attract more - not sell them.
I'm just a bit tired of the Bale speculation as I was with the Modric saga. We haven't replaced Modric but we are not much worse off are we having been third in the table this season? We didn't lose when Bale was injured either. Of course I would prefer to keep him and not sell to another English club but I'd rather have stability in the side. Besides Valencia isn't that bad is he?
Particularly not to a club in our league. If we sold him to Real we should demand Di Maria in return, plus the huge transfer fee. If Bale gets sold everyone will know we have money to burn, making transfers harder so including a swap deal lessens the amount clubs will know we have to spend and gives us an immediate quality player for the left wing. The trouble is when these clubs start trying to offer you crap players, I'm not all that interested in seeing whether we can revive Anderson's career, or Kaka's, or Nani's, or anyone else we might be offered unless they're doing something stupid and only taking £5mill off the asking price, which won't happen.
It's not realistic that the issues of transfers of top players will not be discussed but I too find it sad that it is such common topic. Bale is a Spurs player I prefer to enjoy that, than constant speculation about if and when and where he will go. The media will always high profile such stories, do we have to be such slaves to their self interested crap.
Villa fans must be wondering why it's taken until the end of April for their team to show up. They still can't defend though. I wouldn't write off Wigan yet. It's a tall order, but things are still actually in their own hands given that they have a game in hand and play Villa at home on the last day. How they cope with the extra games in a short period (Cup final as well, of course) will be decisive. They have the ability to beat WBA, Swansea and Villa and beat Arsenal at The Emirates in style last season. I wasn't aware that Utd had expressed any interest in signing Bale. I'm sure any club would want Bale, but the sums of money being talked about could be more wisely spent. Lewandowski is a target and a defensive/holding midfielder is essential. Utd would taking some stopping with Bale though!
For me Villa regained some credibility after the tonking they took from Chelsea. The third relegation spot is just as up in the air as third and fourth CL spot.
Now, if they want to offer us Hernandez!...it MIGHT start to look a tad more interesting. At the moment - no thanks. What am I saying?? No! We do not want to sell Bale - especially to another PL club.
Not so sure about Hernandez. He's a great striker and scores loads but I'm not so sure he'd work in the style AVB and Levy want for us.
Er..No. They might just win the game, but unless Dortmund bottle it, They have too much, especially up front, to let Real come back from where they are.
Nope. There's a vague chance if they can nick an early goal and it would make it very interesting, but this one's beyond even Mourinho, I think.
No chance. Dortmund will kill them on the break. Real would have to score in the first 5 and possibly play against 10 men for at least 45 for it to happen. I actually think Dortmund will win tonight
I've given this some thought, always a bad idea. In the first place, how many points have the refs gifted Arsenal since, say the NLD? (I have the feeling Gooners may have a different tally.) I have one for the offsides against United, and two for the corner farce and offside goal against Norwich. Even if we take those into account, Arsenal have played better than we have recently. But maybe I'm missing some gifts. I won't count various ways the refs may have cost us on possible penalties, since everyone has those. Though I'd love to count the blatant grab on Ade in the penalty box against Everton, considering how many times I had to hear that these grabs are penalties, by the rules, after the Norwich game.
I ignore all speculative stories. The media, especially the English media, have created a big industry in spewing them out, and they will spew every possible speculation out that will find an audience. That doesn't mean I have to care. I'll worry about Bale going if and when he actually goes, and by then it will be too late.
They've got a good chance playing like this, eh DL? The away goal is important because they need to score and whilst conceding an away goal's bad they're much better going forward so setting out to score lots of goals suits them well. They'll still need Dortmund to be poor though and start taking their chances. Actually, they need a miracle, Webb's in charge.
They had their chance in he first 15 when they could have scored any one from 5. At this level you can't miss chances at any time never min when 4-1 down. Game over, Dortmund will score first
