Ronaldo is scoring a lot of goals an given his age Real Madrid will be better off selling him to the Rags and keeping Bale. I feel that Ronaldo will be on a downward trend next season like Yaya, if Real are intelligent enough they will cash in on him when they can make the most of him.
Real fans and sponsor's aren't going to make this easy though.

Some rag I know just put on Facebook that Bale to them is a done deal with De Gayer going the other way. "Good contact that's always right" hahahaha they make me laugh. He also said last summer that Ronaldo was back because his mate saw Ronaldo 7 shirts in the warehouse. Fuckin jokers!

The question is this, can we pull a transfer like this without Pep?

That is a totally different situation. Yaya became the best player in Africa while playing for City, while Silva became a game started for Spain, after he came here, before he was a reserve. And the Aguero situation is different.

The Chimp is actually playing at Real Madrid, different level, huge part in their Champions League campaign last year. If Filth and Chelsea are after him, at the moment we are behind them, if we want to sign him. This will not be a contract problem, but actually he will sign with a team that might offer him the same performances he had with Madrid.

And with all the wankfest about filth, a team that is behind us in every aspect at the moment, he will go there, just because he might think they will rule Europe again, with him and Shrek.

Plus, we failed to sign a top target since Nasri.

I don't think we've lost out on targets because they don't want to play for Pellegrini. We don't know which targets the club has actually gone for and missed out on really. I think players will be looking at the clubs vision more than the managers vision really. I'd say we're just as likely to struggle with someone who wants to play for pellegrini because you never know how long the manager will be in the job!

And regarding Yaya, he was playing for Barca and had just won the champions league!

Yes, but he was a squad player, nothing more. Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets were the starters for Barcelona. Actually, if you recall, the reason he left was because he did not have a lot of playing time, maybe 70 games in 4 years. I am not saying the don't want to play under Pellegrini, i am a supporter of him and i will always be, but players in general are not bright people and they will choose Maureen or Louie Van 4th, because they are bigger names than Pellers.

Plus they will look and see Chelsea, current champions, Maureen there, big factor. FIlth, media sweethearts and City, past champions with not that great games in Europe.

The last big target we needed was Hazard. So, we actually failed to sign world class players, we actually got good ones, but they have their limit.

I think our limit as a club is that FTP shit. We really look like the only club that really respects that crap, while everyone is spending a shitload of money (PSG, Chelsea).

To be fair aguero silva and yaya were all top quality players when we signed them.
Madrid actually might want to sell, and yes he will probably end up a rag, but no matter who we have in charge.

yaya won CL finals with Barca. He wasn't some fringe player who barely played. It's like saying Milner is leaving cuz he doesn't play much for City. It's bollocks.

Yaya was arguably in fact their most important player when drafted in at CB in that first final in Rome...he had to contend with an in-form Rooney and the Tranny and they kept a clean sheet iirc.

The idea that Yaya was some bit part player at Barca is untrue. What is true is that he was seeming to fall out of favor as DM where Busquets was preferred for his workrate and engine. Yaya, i believe, saw the writing on the wall that cracking into a more forward midfield position seemed a challenge he wasn't up for. That's the reality.

I remember that final, but the CB couple that Barcelona had, was with Pique and Puyol, both in their prime, they were the two starters in general there, while in midfield, Yaya was behind those three, maybe even behind Keita, who was kept at that point. If you like, he had the situation Fernando has it here.

My whole point is that City made Yaya a better player. A world class player. Same with Silva, who was really good, but here he stepped up.

His old mucker diMaria is also there who is as ugly as sin as well. That frontline would literally scare the opposition defenders into making mistakes. Throw in Jones's gurning mug and it's not a very pretty XI

One wonders why Real Madrid didn't fancy a combination of Bale and Di Maria for this season. On paper it looks pretty tasty with Ronaldo / Benzema in the middle, and I would expect United to be much, much better next season if they did scoop bale and perhaps a Dzeko type player to be the foil for Rooney and/or Depay playing just behind the front man.

Dzeko would score 30 goals a season with that type of service, and for me that's the greatest shame of his time at City, in that we never, ever setup to his strengths.

I can't help thinking that signing Bale would unbalance the way the count wants to play, and would be a club signing rather than a manager's pick. There's no doubt he's good enough to play a midfield role, but I think his goals at Madrid show he is more useful in a front 3.....unless we also went for additional backup/improvement on Navas on the other side we don't have the personnel to play that system. We've not seen any evidence though that this is the way the count is interested in playing.
