Oliver Holt is reporting on us bidding for Bale and other reporters are saying it has grounds as he normally reports on sporting events and not transfers so fingers crossed he is a replacement for Rooney I have always defended Rooney but he is going to far with his lack of respect for the club and it is now time to sell him for the right price, who would you lot like to replace Wayne would it be Cesc or Bale.

Kate, Bale wouldn't replace Rooney they're different types of players. Cesc might but i'd like nto see him partner Carrick. I'd give the number 10 spot to Kagawa, he's world class there and I think he'll show that this season.

Lack of respect for the club? What`s he done? Stop listening to gossip, unless it`s on here. lol Bale & Garay to be announced 6. 00am tomorrow, you heard it here first! from Daleman55

Well, Fabregas should be brought in to partner Carrick, if Bale came, it would have to be to play on the wing, since that would be where we need him.

If it where really a choice between the two, I'd take Fabregas.

You can't class either as replacement, surely both would come in to do a different job. We need Bale for the left and Fabregas in the middle. Kagawa does Rooneys job.

Not sure we are really in for Bale, maybe the real interest is in Ronaldo. Not saying we would get any of them though

I would love bale even though fab is a great player

8.) 18 Jul 2013
Granted they are different players, but Bale wants to play through the middle, so could be a genuine replacement for rooney. with that said, I don't see it happening.

Why wouldn't Bale replace Rooney after all that's why he was so good last season playing in a free role for Spurs.
I would love to see RVP up front with Bale drifting in a free role behind him.
Makes perfect sense to me

Its pretty obvious we're in for Bale. When a club ambassador says we should sign him then we're definitely interested. I think Bale would be interested as well but I don't think he has the guts to hand in a transfer request and Levy would never sell to us even if he did.

I would say both can replace Wayne in the hole behind RvP and both can play other positions as well ie Bale on the wing and Cesc in the middle but both can play behind a striker and that's what sort of a player we will need if Wayne goes which looks more likely all the time and as for saying I don't think Wayne has shown the club respect is because I can read between the lines he has his plan he is saying he didn't put in a transfer request down to greed trying to get his loyalty bonus more like and if he wants out put in a request look at history and look how Jose does his deals Ashley cole springs to mind he is underhanded and Rooney is being greedy I think the great man SAF done the right thing by telling the world Wayne wants out and I am not listening to gossip I am making my own judgements on the Rooney saga I have defended Wayne but no more get him out and get one of the above in to replace him Katef

Same ollie holt that wrote an article regarding Cavani to Utd - clutching at straws one thinks!

13.) 18 Jul 2013
Oliver holt did not right that article Alex Nixon did and he talks crap lol

Simmo. He's not a top class number 10, perhaps he could play a free role but you couldn't play him with two wingers either side we would be far too predictable. He could hypothetically be Rooneys replacement in terms of ins and outs this summer in a dream world but he wouldn't do the same job for the team. Bale is not happening, Madrid got turned down when talking about a world record bid and Levy would much rather sell to them than us. Kate I have no idea why you keep thinking that we can/will be getting Bale.

My opinion: Real madrid gave up on him already and spent a pretty stupid amount of money on other players. Which means, to United, that they do not have 60 or 70 million pounds to spend.
At least, not this summer. In fact, that would be our best chance to get Bale, as City and Chelsea already spent a pretty good amount of money and Arsenal will never spend more than 30 in a player.

Katef, how has Rooney been disrespectful?

17.) 18 Jul 2013
Bale bale bale this is the one mother of all transfers best player in the world no doubt get him united pleasssssse

18.) 18 Jul 2013
We already have Kagawa in the hole, and he's not as good out wide.

Bale on the other hand is great on the wing, so why play bale in the middle?

19.) 18 Jul 2013
My opinion is that with the Ronaldo situation going in until next season they will bid for bale then! maybe they was told Bale will stay at spurs for one more season, hence the bid for Isco? We honestly don't know why but I can't see us signing Bale this year. I'd put my house on it!

Katef, I think you are paying too much attention to media and rumours mate. Most believes he is not happy, but I don't think he has acted to be called disrespectful. Cesc will not come in. Barca let Alcantara and Villa go. If they were to go for Silva, then I would've had a glimpse of hope that Barca might let Cesc go to free up some funds, but now that doesn't even look like it's going to happen, so I doubt that. Bale? I don't think Spurs want us to be stronger and they aren't even selling to Madrid. Why would they sell us. I know both players are going to strengthen our quality of squad, but we are focusing on near impossible targets. DM has less options, but realistically I hope we'll pull 1 near world class mf and I'll be happy.
