yeah, that's really bad news, he will be out for 2-3 months

Hope he recovers well so we can have him in full form for the 2nd half of the season and the WC

Guess it will be a good chance for Illarra to get some play time, step up and somewhat justify the overpay. I have faith in him.

Bale to Madrid for 109 million €. That's the info as of now... Spurs' sportdirector is in Madrid. Let's see....

Also Casillas seems to be very unhappy that he didn't start in the liga

Why on earth do we need Bale?
Our squad is stacked as is.
Hopefully Xabi gets well soon!

Ronaldo/Jese Benzema/Morata Bale/Di Maria
Ozil/isco Khedira Illarra/Casemiro
Marcelo Pepe/Varana Ramos/Nacho Carvajal/Arbeloa
Diego Lopez/Casillas

That is literally two teams

I don't know what drives them so crazy to get Bale, I must admit Bale is an exceptionally good player, but he is not worth that much of money. If we could get him for 50-60million, that'd be okay. But more than a 100 million to pay for a player, I don't know man... Also what about Illarramendi?? What's his role in this squad? Warm the bench like Kaka? :/

it's a waste of their young players above all
but seems like madrid wants to compete with barcelona (signing neymar) and show that they can spend more

quite useless

I agree. It would only make sense if Di María left, and it doesn't look like that's going to happen now.

This squad is good enough, bale is only being bought because of Neymar.

I'd love to see Di maria at Arsenal.

Ozil & Kaka to United plz
