agreed, solely looking at his stats he's been an absolute disaster
stats do not tell the whole story though, he's had injuries to deal with and seen 2 coaches fired

Last season he did. What's he had to deal with this season? It's not like he's had stiff competition for his place, he's only had to deal with Lennon and Townsend, hardly world beaters themselves.
Last season he got mugged off a bit to be fair, but Poch has shown faith and patience in him but he hasn't delivered.

Back to Bale and Real Madrid's fans. They really are the most snobbish, spoilt babies in world football. They literally believe they should win every trophy in every campaign, anything less is unacceptable. It's like, we're Real Madrid and that's that, we don't care if a team like Dortmund pops up every few years through good scouting, good youth system and making shrewd signings thus becoming a potential great team.
Someone posted that Atletico Madrid are not a likeable side, I'd rather they were successful if the alternative is Real.
There is a term in American sport called a "front runner". Essentially someone who supports the biggest/most successful club in each of the sports, i.e. in Hockey it would be the Detroit Red Wings or Montreal Canadiens; in the NFL it would be the Steelers or the Cowboys; Baseball it would be the New York Yankees and NBA would be the Lakers. Don't see why else you would follow Real.

Last year's Real was a great side to watch, a wonderful alternative to the possession based grind fest with tippy tappy triangles and sideways/backpass play that has been used by most top clubs over recent times.
A powerful, pace based attack with brutal finishing and lots of skill, FB's in flight, Modric conducting, Ronaldo/Bale/Benzema destroying.
But yes, asshole fans, asshole media, these idiots boo Ronaldo ffs!
Never understood the whole bandwagon thing ...

Can Bale speak passable Spanish yet?

he tweets in Spanish a lot, obviously could be having help or using software though
This .. I get Levy/Club's view to managing our club responsibly, but ...
Bale is about as close to a sure thing for us getting a CL spot as we are every likely to get.
Lloris/Eriksen/Bale/Kane would have us in CL spots ..

Curious as to why you are so against him joining them? Would be much worse to see him join chelsea/arsenal/liverpool if you ask me..

Will hardly be Bale's fault if Real sell him and he wants to come back to England.
If we bid for him and he turns us down I'd be a bit annoyed, but the bottom line is he did a really good job for us.

In what fantasy world do you think Bale would firstly come back to us (at this time) and secondly not join another prem team like Man Utd. I would much rather he was there instead of Liverpool, Chelsea, Emirates Marketing Project or, GHod forbid, Arsenal.
The truth is that even if we could meet Real Madrid's asking price (which we would'nt) and met Bale's wages (which we would'nt) then he still would'nt rejoin us at this point in his career. Its never going to happen and the chances are he WILL be back in England next year so lets accept it.

And we'd match the bids from other clubs without selling those players? How exactly?

go down the Spanish or Italian route, get the royal family or the government to bankroll

ENIC could probably buy some foreign clubs to asset strip
or do a massive massive massive bank job

rip off some bank for naming rights on the new stadium
I think I'd swap a shiny new stadium for Bale coming back for the rest of his career.

I know I definitely would

I can see the argument for it, but that shiny new stadium will hopefully pay for many more new Bale's, more so than we can afford now.

Because I have always hated ManU more than any other team. Afterall, ManU are the team who have fecked us the most on and off the field during the PL era. Remember the Mendes' goal, the 3-5 defeats and how about them stealing our key players like Sheringham, Carrick and Berbatov ? All were huge setbacks for us. Will never forgive Bale if he joins them.
