What happened to our "special relationship" with RM?
For me, the important factor is the length of contract. Bale on 1-2 years is fine. But the last thing we want is ageing players on long contracts with high salaries if their performance goes down for the last couple of seasons.I don't care about the finances tbh, I'll leave that up to Levy and Paratici.
If Conte wants him then yes please.
If Conte doesn't want him then No thanks.
It really is as simple as that for me, and is that simple for any player we sign.
I had a similar outlook until I was reminded by what Bale can do... His a match winner and we need those.He'd started to show glimpses of what he could do after 6 months into his loan spell but I'd rather not sign guys who are injured so often, esp someone who takes time to get his sharpness back.
