What I understand from these rumours about selling Alves and buying Bale is that we might consider shifting our attack more to the left side. Which does make sense in some way. With Messi being left-footed and playing in the middle he always searches for an outleft on the left side (just look at both his assists against Rayo). I mean: he even made Abidal score! And on top of that: Villa could get his own version of Alves. Some attacking backup Abidal couldn't give him so much for obvious reasons (Abidal is not a wingback). But selling Alves would still be a huuuge risk. Alves CAN defend. And more importantly: he's a good influence in the locker room. On top of that he's a very technical and intelligent player who can combine in the tightest of spaces. Bale is neither known for his defensive abilities nor for his game intelligence. His biggest asset is his pace. Selling one of our most important players for a Premier League hypestar can go horribly horribly wrong. And on top of that. Who's going to be our starting right back next season? Montoya? I do trust him very much but ... I dunno ... Already? A 21 year old kid + Bale in defense? Please don't tell me with Mascherano and 34 year old Puyol in the middle? And if we're really going to buy Neymar too anytime soon, Bale-Neymar on one side? Who the fuck is going to defend?
If City bids around € 40 million, the club will agree, no ...? Man, those are dark days infront of us ...
