Gareth Bale

Know Trix said we arent interested, and that may well be the case. But I remember the summer he left it was a "he aint going" from a majority of the ITK's until he did go. So fingers crossed.

Maybe...just maybe...they’re trying hard to keep it under wraps. Doesn’t have the same “wow” if it’s been rumored for weeks that he’s on the way.

Tee up the “Optimistic” ratings!

Wow just read ronaldos comments. Can't see bale staying there.

Asked if he was disappointed not to score in the final, with Bale taking the headlines for his overhead kick, Ronaldo said: ‘Who?

‘Maybe the Champions League should change its name to the CR7 Champions League.

‘Who has more Champions and more goals?’

Edit - just read his other comments. Regarding his future he said he will talk to the fans in a few days.

He later expressed regret at the timing of his comments regarding his future but said he had talked from the heart and that he would make the statement he promised. “I’ll speak,” he added. “I can’t hide that [I have something to say]. It wasn’t the right moment because of the history of the club.”

He wasn't talking about Bale. This is another excerpt about his comments:

"But when asked if he was disappointed not score in the final, Ronaldo said: "Who's disappointed? Perhaps they need to change the name of the Champions League to the CR7 Champions League. Who has the most titles and who has the most goals?"

He's only pointing out that he's not disappointed as he's dominated the CL.

Hoping against hope that what you said is true.

Bale loves his golf and he has been criticised by the Spanish media for spending more time on the golf course than on the pitch in recent seasons.

Harry Kane is also a keen golfer and I’m sure they would make good golfing buddies.

Sorry i was duped by a hack journalist twisting his words.

That seals it.

I am a fan of Martial and it's exciting being linked to him but, look at the form Bale has shown in the last few months. He's been unreal.

I wouldn't be against getting Martial in (if possible) but really and truly I know who I want attacking City and the rest next year in the new stadium. Bale is still undoubtedly one of the top players in the world and these miserable, Madrid Muppets don't deserve him.

Get it done Danny boy. PLEASE!

With my lawyer hat on, this clause looks good but is less favourable than perhaps first appears. To exercise our option, we have to match "all the terms" of the third-party offer, not just the transfer fee.

That will cover literally everything in the third-party offer, but most importantly how and when the transfer fee will be paid. Some clubs pay a lot up front (notably United and Chelsea, as I understand it), whereas most clubs without such liquidity make more use of instalments.

It would also include things like sell-on clauses.

I really don't think a first refusal clause helps us much since the player still has to agree terms. If Bale wants us, he would likely make a transfer to United very difficult. If he doesn't want us, the player simply needs to say no. Real can still have "accepted" our bid, but the player refuses. No clause can require a player to sign a contract with us.

"In the event that Tottenham does match the Third Party Offer, Real Madrid shall be required to accept Tottenham's offer in preference to any other offers received (including any higher offers received following Real Madrid's receipt of the Third Party Offer) ​

So in essence, as soon as Real Madrid accepts an offer from a PL club and Tottenham decides to match that bid, Real Madrid must pick Tottenhams offer and can not accept any other subsequent offer from any other club from anywhere.

Was told mid week he was starting last night, then didn't!

Thought it was only if a pl team bids.

He will enjoy the love here. And will definitely get more respect. At 28 and back with winning some serious shit, the experience the lads can learn from him will be immense.

I don't think I will care much for him to be back until the match last night.. I can only dream..

Don't know bud. Very unlikely he comes here regardless, but he was clearly pissed off last night at not starting. It's almost as if ZZ is doing it on purpose.

There is a rumour doing the rounds they want to swap him plus cash for Neymar, but that's not from my good source re Bale.

Can’t see Bale wanting to go to PSG somehow.Was definitely odd not to see him start last night though.

As for celebrations with team mates, this isn’t the first time. He has always looked an outsider each time and I definitely think his time at RM is up.

Doesn’t mean he comes to us as a result, but it’s fun to dream, especially after that goal.

Doesn’t the Ronaldo factor come into play? If he wants to go to United..
