I dont think Jose would oppose to bringing in someone of Bale's quality. I know that SC has somehow gotten it through their thick skulls that Bale is a scrub now. But the reality is, when fit and firing, he is still very, very, very, very good and there is no way Jose would object to bringing him in.
And why should José oppose it? He'll want all the good players he can get. The only way I see him actually oppose it, is if it blocks one of Josés preferred targets, and we're able to get him in instead.

I agree, I was simply responding to the idea that Levy would not sign a player that Jose doesn't want. Because it has happened.

What's the latest on Bale? I've been on the piss all day and cant be arsed to search through a shite load of pages.
Trix and some ITK from COYS saying whilst it’s still very much a long shot there’s been some small positive movement

Surely this'll motivate him to get playing again...

I don't play Ultimate Team, but I gather players tend to be a bit bothered by their branding. Seems a bit brutal, eh? Not in their top 100 this year (https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/fifa/fifa-21/ratings/ratings-database).
Yeah that's fake.

I don't think Jose would oppose the signing, but if we miss out on a target because of the Bale signing, I think that would be a problem
Who could he possibly miss out on who would be better than Bale? He wants a forward and while Bale is not a number 9 he is THE best player we've been linked with. Nobody was moaning when we signed VDV because he wasn't a number 9. He would absolutely love Bale I have no doubt, even if it's the last signing he gets. I know people love the idea of someone like Daka but by the time he develops into his potential Jose will be gone. He wants players already at the top of their game and Bale still has a few years at the top level.

Imagine if this actually gets to close to happening, the flight tracking and spotting will be top level, I genuinely think sc would go into complete meltdown:)

He's not in the top 100 they've released, which means he's definitely under ~84, so it's hardly preposterous.

There seem to be quite a few 'leaked', so can't really see why it's definitely fake.
As a fifa nerd the only way I can see him being under 84 is if Madrid have paid off EA.

A downgrade of 6 (he was 85 in Fifa 20) is almost unthinkable. Just to put it in perspective, Lamela is 80 on Fifa 21.

They seem to have released Real's top 18, with Bale not on it and the lowest being 79...

I'm sure it'll be confirmed before long, either way.

I hope not. Personally I feel like he'll be a waste of money who will probably end up being "Golf > Wales > Spurs"
