The Mighty Scots Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Im managing Manchester United and am in my 3rd season in March. I wantto sign Bale but spurs want 60 million for him, i can pay 30 million etc and pay the rest in installements, but i just think this is too much money, I very rarely like making big money signings. What do you guys think is the max you should pay for bale or do you think i should stop being tight and splash the cash. I opted not to sign him in January as sometimes their value decreases i.e javi martinex on my game 50million in august but sold for 24million in november. I would sign hazard but i signed him on last years game and dont want to sign the same players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo_rune Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 What they're really saying is "Gareth Bale isn't for sale, especially to title rivals, but if you're willing, everyone has their price." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I managed to get Bale for £24m as he had a release clause, but even this was too much since he keeps getting injured. No way should you spend £60m on him or any other player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Top Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Spurs actually offered him to me for 20mil in m 3rd season when i got the man city job, hes a good player and I havnt had any injury problems, but hes not a 60 mil player no chance.

CrD Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm with the above I got him for around £45m in my Man Utd save, but I regret spending that much on him, definitely not worth £60m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Scots Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 What do you guys think should be the max offer then as he does look very good has the highest average rating in the league or would you advise staying clear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Considering in FM10 I spent £30m on Curtis Davies, I would say yes, Bale is worth £60m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are Man City and grow money, then spend whatever you want. If not, then be more prudent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron1606 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Considering in FM10 I spent £30m on Curtis Davies, I would say yes, Bale is worth £60m. Out of interest, how much would you pay for Heskey? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Tbf, Davies did exceptionally well for me and after 7 seasons, he had an average rating of 7.8. I still maintain he was worth it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I have bought Bale in the past for Man U and the most I paid was £50 million, he's absolutely brilliant though. Started a Tottenham save and he was just awesome! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmi88 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Was unfortunate on FM11 when I got Bale, he either had an amazing match, or got injured. The latter more often then not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mihalis Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 in my current save as spurs bale tearing it up for me double figure assists and goals in 2 straight seasons and already well on his way in the 3rd. if i ever leave spurs i would definitely try taking him with me, he is a beast. 60m tho... i cant condone ever spending that much on a player.. but for bale... in the form he has been in so far... i wouldnt sell him for much less than 60m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I signed Bale for Man Utd on FM11 and although I can't remember the exact fee I paid, it was somewhere between £40m and £60m. He was worth every penny. Became a wonderful player and I didn't really have any problems with injuries with him. But as for he original point about it being too much, as others have already pointed out, it's Spurs' way of telling you he's not really for sale. And in real life, when Bale is linked with moves away from White Hart Lane, it's usually for about £50m-£60m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham206 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 He's going to be expensive: he's a well-rounded player, in addition to pace, acceleration and stamina he's got very good ball control, crosses well (unlike Walcott, say, who has similar physical attributes). he's even a good header of the ball. He's versatile, having played left back, left midfield and left wing - and right wing for Wales. He's young and improving: this season he's been cutting inside more and scoring a lot of goals. He's also shown a big match temperament, scoring a hat-trick at the San Siro and in lots of other important matches. And he's left footed which adds a certain amount of scarcity as there are fewer left footers than right. Put all that together and you have a very expensive player. Tottenham turned down £40M for Modric who's currently a slightly better player but is roughly five years older; Bale has the potential to get even better and therefore that would put a premium on his price. There is no chance you'd get Bale for less than £50M in real life today. Though we might , according to 'the Guardian' find out this summer. They put together the fact that Eden Hazard, who had previously talked about joining Real Madrid, is now talking about joining Tottenham with wondering what has made Madrid suddenly less attractive and why Spurs would want two spectacularly good left-footed midfielders...

askep Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Uh, Hazard is predominantly right-footed, actually. He's quite ambidextrous, though. And £60m? Would only ever pay that much money for Lionel Messi, and even then I wouldn't be too thrilled about neither the transfer fee nor his inevitably astronomical wages.

Hazard is right footed and can play left, right and centre. The most obvious route would be Hazard on the left, Bale on the right with them roaming around and swapping wings.

Smurf Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Just pay the whole thing over 48 months. That's 4 years, you'll have him for at least 8 seasons. Well worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YidBiggy Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 mihalis u r absolutely rite! bale is worth £60m up front, another £20m over 48 months. Another £2m after 10 league goals plus 50% of the next sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihalis Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 thank u yidbiggy. personally i think if we sign the duke of hazard (oh yes i went there) he will play on the left, bale on the right with them both switching flanks. however in his form IRL he is easily the best left sided midfielder... IN THE WORLD. i mean can anyone think of anothr player who can infuence games like bale does on the left. and yes i include messi on that as he is predominatly the centre striker for barcelona Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano565 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I don't think I've ever had Bale finish a season with an average rating of less than 7.4. I play him as AML in a 4-2-3-1 and he gets a ridiculous number of assists. Been worth every penny for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
