Thats the PotY you're ****ging off there, don't you know he walks everywhere!

I do think the fap fest over Bale is ott, lets see if he continues next season at this current level before we throw him into the 50/60 million £ bracket.
 
This will make cm's head explode but Bale really is the closest thing to Ronaldo there is and so the best way to utilise him is starting from a wide position with the freedom to come inside; I believe the hipster word for this position is an 'inside forward'

(note before CM does get giddy with the above I'm not suggesting Bale is anywhere near Ronaldo at the moment or will ever get to that standard)
 
Bale doesn't have the footballing brain to play at the top level centrally. He's an incredibly talented footballer, a physical machine, but he doesn't drift in to space or crate space for others with movement or pick great passes. He's a great player but not a number 10. Imo.
 
Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed he has plans in place to improve his Manchester United squad in the summer.

The Scot claimed his 13th league title with United this season but has already started his preparations to defend that crown next term.

He is convinced he has the players at the club to provide a solid foundation for the next five years but is still keen to add quality where possible.

And despite not having the spending power enjoyed by the likes of Manchester City or Chelsea, Ferguson is confident that United can be competitive in the summer transfer window.

"You have to look at the structure of the club at present, in terms of the number of first-team players we have at 23 or under," Ferguson said in his column for Inside United.

"We've been doing a bit of work on that over the last three or four months, targeting who the players are that we feel could enhance us, make us better or help us maintain the level we're at."

"David De Gea, Rafael, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Alex Buttner, Nick Powell, Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck, Shinji Kagawa and Chicharito are 24. Jonny Evans is 25 and Wayne Rooney is hitting his peak at 27.

"Older players like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand may be coming towards the end of their careers, but these younger players are the foundation for the next five or six years, irrespective of the players breaking through, like Adnan Januzaj, the Belgian boy, who's really looking very good.

"Hopefully the players we bring into the club in the next year or so will be of the quality we need. We're competitive in the market - we're not Chelsea or Manchester City in terms of money but we're competitive.

"We've been doing a bit of work on that over the last three or four months, targeting who the players are that we feel could enhance us, make us better or help us maintain the level we're at."

Sources saying a deal for Andre and Jordan Ayew to Fulham is 90% done.

Can't see it happening or being true though :p
 
@Tom84 - where did you find that Fergie quote? BBC Sport?

Peter Andre and Katie Price Jordan? Nah can't see it happening either mate! :D Although you'd have a lot up front it you signed Jordan! :p
 
Technically that cut and paste job was from Sky Sports but as it says the quotes were from the Inside United club magazine

You really have no idea what you're talking about do you? lol

Bale is a winger, why would he not want to be a winger at United, or at any other club for that matter?

He's had a few games where he's had to go in the middle for Spurs because the strikers have been useless apart from Defoe. In fact Bale has quite often been forced to go wherever the ball is, even back in his own half, just to get a touch.

i suggest you watch more spurs games.

no i wont make my head explode at all. bale is what, 5 yrs younger than ronaldo. it would be a logical progression for him to become the type of player ronaldo is. the genetics are uncanny, the attitudes are worlds apart.

are you nuts with your doesn't pick great passes comment? here's one for a start
the spin and pace on that ball is lethal for defenders to deal with.
 
That's more of a cross from a wide position than the kind of pass Stewy is talking about, such as central midfield distribution.
 
That's a cross cm, it's what wingers do

It's ironic that's the game you chose to pick out as that's the perfect game that proves why Bale cant play centrally; he did absolutely sod all for 60 minutes in that game (as did Spurs as a whole) AVB finally came to his senses and put him on the right wing and moments later Bale sets one up and then goes and scores another

Oh and dont give it the attitudes are worlds apart simply because Bale walks to work, still dates his G/F from play school and whatever else, you only have to listen to people who know Ronaldo to know he's as dedicated as anyone to be the best he can possibly be

i'm not meaning ronaldo's attitude is bad. from what i understand, he's very close to his family etc but his attitude on the pitch, his aggression if you like, is a higher level than bales.

and one game against the champions (at the time) where he had little joy through the centre, doesn't mean he can't play centrally. there's plenty of times this season where it has worked in a 4-3-3. i like him on the wing don''t get me wrong but he can do a job in both areas.

No one's saying he cant play centrally (or more specifically the number 10 role) what they're saying is it's by no means his best position nor is he anywhere near being better than someone like Rooney at it.

Lol..dude..Bale is better than Rooney at that position. Tbh..not sure why people think Bale is dumb or something. He's potentially better than Ronaldo if he can stay fit.
