He does play down the right for Madrid but he isn’t a right winger by any means. He only plays there because Ronaldo refuses to move he’s at his best down the left and if you’re signing a player for that sort of money play him where he’s at his best
His best season at Spurs he was on the right, he's been excellant playing on the right for Madrid, pretty sure he played on the right for Wales before going central. When he burst on the scene at Spurs he was an old skool left winger but he very quickly swapped sides and became the modern style inverted winger who wants to come inside and shoot rather than go outside and cross.
He'd be perfect for our right side if he wasn't so injury prone but then if he wasn't so injury prone Madrid wouldn't be desperate to move him on.
Agree with that, I think the same thing that got him pissed at Madrid is exactly whats good for his body and the Premiership is much more physical and the refs don't protect players as much. I am usually one to complain on age but having him, Sanchez and Matic could give us the experience we need to guide the younger players added to their match winning capacity I'd be all for it but his injury record is one big red flag.Yeah but he was fit because they weren't playing him every time he's been worked hard by that I mean expected to play twice a week he breaks down and gets injured playing him off the bench he can keep himself fit because the body isn't getting pushed as hard.
For what he's going to cost you need him to be like Lukaku playing almost every minute of every game and the last few years show he struggles with that workload.
City do spend a lot of money but so far they've resisted the urge to get involved in the super star signings & also the wages that come with that.
My guess is he ends up either at Madrid or PSG but even if Neymar was to go I'm not sure they'd really want Bale as a replacement.
Yeah I don't see it being a City kind of signing. I think once upon a time he would have been but I think Pep has a plan and he's building a team for long term domination. Signing big names doesn't necessarily fit with that and I think he has an idea of what he needs.
Both he and Klopp seem to be spending towards a plan and they are buying players who are ready to step up. Liverpool, in particular, have made the right moves and the players they have signed are at the ages where they are young enough and hungry enough to compete at the top level for a long time. Kinda what I hoped we would do.Yeah I don't see it being a City kind of signing.

I think 10 years ago when City first got the money and they were trying to make a splash he'd have been right up there street remember Robinho, their pursuit of Kaka, signing Tevez & Adebayor then Aguero they were interested in making statement signings. They kind of needed to get big names on board to attract others but over the last 5 years they've become much more calculated in what they do which is why I was always surprised by how hard they went for Sanchez last summer and again in January.

Liverpool are building a plan? that has no defence?
I can't believe people on here are having a go at Jose's transfer business, when we don't know what it is yet.
Jose is suffering from at least 4 years of bad buying before him.
If you don't like him fine, lets not just use any excuse as stick to beat him.
Liverpool are a joke, I am glad we are not like them. City have been building that side for a good 4 years, and up until last year they had problems.
Liverpool just got shown up to be a one man team, which to be honest we highlighted when we played them by keeping Salah quiet, they have a woeful defence and just got battered by Madrid.
There are just a GK and a starting CB away from a really solid team, they have proven that they can score goals against anyone bar us and their current additions to their midfield will give them a solid platform for their forwards. A GK is their most important signing and I am glad Klopp remains blind to that.Liverpool are building a plan? that has no defence?
