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.
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.
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.
Anyone fancy Real Madrid to turn it around tonight?
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.

Hang on a minute... Arsenal have got a lot of help from refs (agreed) plus they've played well under pressure when we haven't... and yet if we win our game in hand we're above them.
How does that work then? IMHO they've had *a lot* of help from refs, so QED they can't have been playing that well without it surely?
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.
Actually, they need a miracle, Webb's in charge.

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.
