If there was a report chart ( records ) available to the public! totaling the attendance, Injury, treatment, duration and cost? i'm pretty sure we would most likely top all of the columns in the report. If so i cannot understand our intrest in Gareth Bale. He is a good player on his day but visits the treatment room far to often to buy him.

We have for too long played like driving our cars with warped brake discs and worn pads.

It won't fix the problem buying good brake pads to work with warped discs.

We need a fresh overhaul in areas and bale does not make the cut unless he is at a bargain price to afford the risk.

RDF I am not against Bale being signed but the money involved. It can be put into better signings which will ensure us a longer term success.
I totally agree that he is one the most injury prone player and probably spends more time recuperating than playing on the field. There is no doubt if he is fit he can be a world class player. He will probably join us only if the board sees him as a short term key to our getting back the PL title though I would question if it is worth the money spent.
I’d rather we use the money to beef up key signings in MF and defense since we are quite potent in attack with the likes of Lukaku, Rash, Martial and Sanchez.
Hence for what we spend on Bale, I feel we can buy a couple more good players.

Reddevilfan, nothing wrong with trying to stay on top, is it?
SAF managed that for a very long time in the PL table, now we try to defend the top spots we still have :D

On another note, I believe it is more beneficial to invest in Martial and Rashford instead of buying another star at the end of his prime.

I still remember not understanding why Ronaldo was playing week in week out without really contributing, but the reward for that was marvelous!
