It's pretty well-known that Bale supported Arsenal growing up. His agent says: "(As an Arsenal fan) I'd love him to play there but it's got as much chance as me going to the moon."

He's just angling for improved terms from Madrid, but if they were interested, what about Ozil + bags of money for Bale? He'd be the final piece that legitimately helps us challenge for titles. A front four of Auba, Bale, Ramsey, and Mhiki would be pretty tasty. Athletic, hard-working, plenty of goals and assists there. And obviously the pisstake factor up the Seven Sisters.

You literally just quoted his agent saying it's not going to happen. This seems like it belongs in the houseboat thread.

Yeah, Kami. Let’s try to keep player threads to a minimum. If there are Sven sightings, Raul ramblings, or at least mention of a proposed transfer fee then that feels sufficient trigger for a thread. Otherwise, we’ll open half a dozen of these weekly

Mea culpa, it's been a while, gang.

I will say that with the stunning progress of SpaceX and other private orbital launch firms, we can get Bale's agent on the moon if that's what it takes

A 29 year old injury prone player who's going to cost about twice of our reported budget.

The police says this ain't happening.

He fits the profile of a United signing perfectly. Ageing, over-hyped and on a huge salary. I genuinely hope they sign him.

Bale is 29!?

In less than a month yes.

So he is still 28, no?

He'll be 29 by the time he plays for us IF we sign him.

Don't mind me, I'm just taking the piss out of those guy who were arguing about Jackson Martinez being 28 or 29 on twitter.

If we could sign Bale we should do it. He's the kind of player who can singlehandedly win you big games.

I'm worried about how long he has left though. He was always a decent technical player, but his abilities came into focus when he reached peak physique. I think they will vanish quickly once he slows down again. His stats were good but there was clear signs of regression this year at Real Madrid.

If we even have 1% chance on Bale we should just try all out on him. He's a genuine superstar that can elevate us onto another level.

Especially once he comes to Arsenal and stops being doped.
