He is still past his best. We want players whose best will happen wearing our shirt.

No guarantees that happens until we make the leap to the big boys. To take that step we need a bona fide superstar that makes other players believe in us. Not saying Bale is that person but I wouldn't turn him down if we got a chance to sign him on a free.
 

You can have all the talent but if you are not fit the talent is wasted....

Bale is a liability & injured the majority of the time, really his playing record is so poor......

We must leave well alone.....

Sign St Maximum instead from Newcastle.....
Ha ha. I’d pay bale 1million a week if you meant not getting him from Newcastle. He’s there version of bolasie. Feet 5 seconds ahead of his brain
 
I know he has a dubious record but some of that might be explained by the beef he has with the manager (being down as injured might be seen as better than being dropped - but I remember one time though ZZ said he was injured and Bale disputed this), whatever the fact it is good we didn't have internet forums when we signed Reid or Gray!

...Reid and Gray had suffered critical long-term injuries but were known fiesty characters, and hungry to play.

Bale is regularly out with different types of injury, is ridiculously wealthy, played for one of the biggest clubs on the planet and has a roomful of medals. Fantastic player though he is, I genuinely wouldn’t touch that type. Injury prone generally continue to be injury prone and I’m not sure if the game matters enough for him to be enthusiastic about playing for us.

No idea why we’ve got a thread on him.
 

Even if we could get him on loan would we have to pay a fee and large % of his wages? Top player in his day though and could a job for us if he stayed injury free.

I think that he certainly has maybe three more very good years in him, he is a super player and I do think he will leave Madrid this summer but I would bet on either Utd or a return to Spurs ... they will be able to afford it now with the money saved from not paying wages to staff ?????
I suppose PSG might also be a possibility to replace Neymar.

I would have him in a heartbeat but I don't believe he would come to Everton or that we could afford him even if he would.
He is a genuinely world class player and playing with Richarlison would be right up there as an attacking force.
 

Where would he play hypothetically speaking? LW?

if so boot Iwobi to Bournemouth and throw a big signing on fee + 200k a week wages and get him in.

I don't think he will come here either but people are mad though not wanting him if he is going on free.

Less than two years ago he won the CL final single handedly against them lot coming off the bench. Yeah well past it!!!
 
Imagine him scoring a last minute winner in front of the Kop for us next season similar to that wonder goal in 2018. Even better if it was well offside but the goal still stood. Then he shushes all the Surrey Tories with their ipads. It's a nice dream.
