Not at the time Messi wasnt, Ronaldo had scored 68 goals in his last two seasons for us, and at the time messi was just starting to get his reputation he was only 21.

Bale while having a brilliant season, its just that, one season, for the past two years he has been constantly overrated he is not yet worth the huge fee its mostly because he is british. You said at the same age bale was better than ronaldo that is how you justify the fee, Bale since 2010/2013 age 21-24 37 goals in 99 games. Cr7 at the same age 2006-2009 age 21-24 66 goals in 99 games.

If he can carry on the same form next couple years he might be worth it, but how are you going to fit both Ronaldo and Bale in the same team?

Messi was the better player by the time Ronaldo signed for Madrid.

Yeah by the time he joined real messi was the best after that treble season. But cristiano won balon dir and was the best in the world the season before.

115 million euros ??? Yes, Bale is a good player but this is i think will the the worst not the biggest deal in football

Not worth half of that money but with him they would destroy our defence. Again, don't trully understand where they can afford thoose crazy prices

Hammy have you read anything in any football news except Bale in the past 2 weeks , even pundits focus there article on Bale even though he is not in a big club or from a great football nation
This is a Barcelona forum.. how many pages in the last 10 days about Bale? you see where i'm getting
Most of the people I know are talking about this because of the money that Florentino is willing to pay for Bale.

Talking about the 23 age the year before he won the CL .. he scored 17 goals in the EPL and playing with a much better squad and manager

When Cristiano had 23 y.o. he scored 42 goals in all competitions, was CL's top goalscorer(with 8 goals in 11 games, one of them in a final) and won the BdO..and yes he played with a better team, but he was also the best player in the world at that time, something that Bale clearly isn't now.

Not at the time Messi wasnt, Ronaldo had scored 68 goals in his last two seasons for us. had won a balon dor, and at the time messi was just starting to get his reputation he was only 21.

It doesn't matter how many goals Cristiano had in 2007-2008, on 11 June 2009 Messi was the best player in the world..and even if you believed that CR was still the best, it's seems a bit far-fetched to say that Messi was only getting his reputation when he was already twice on the podium for the BdO at that time.

Neymar-Messi vs Ronaldo-Bale. Our duo would have the advantage of playing near each other, still the amount of speed Madrid will have down the wings... It's gonna be raining long shots too.

RM not only that have bigger incomes than us, they also know to sell players(and I'm not reffering at players like Higuain here, I'm reffering at players like Joselu who didn't even played for the first team or like Granero, Gago, Callejon; Barca, in the meantime has to pay money to get rid of Hleb, Bojan, sells Villa for 2M only to buy players like Kiko Femenia or Rodri with that money) and don't spend 28M euros with their basket section while they only make 4M(like FCB does).

Their duo will have the advantage of playing in El Clasico against a team with no defense though..

Trouble is they'll always going to play narrow and more defensive against us, closing space, while we will play our game, and allow lot of space. So their style is canceling our duo, our style exactly what their duo wants

EDIT: sorry, could have posted it in one post

Lemon curry?
But how would Cristiano and Bale work out? People are worried about Neymar and Messi, while these two seem more in danger of not getting along, in my opinion. Wonder what Cristiano would think about not being the most expensive player ever anymore...

I have to agree with you though, don't know how much Ronaldo's ego could take Bale's superior long shot ability hihi. I do believe Bale is better from range than Ronaldo, and he hits the folha seca or whatever you call it better. At least from what I've seen, his shot is deadly.

bale is not even worth 50mil, not even top 10 playern in the world. 145mil? wth you could buy 4xgötze or almost 3x neymar, 8x ribery, , 2,5x falcao etc haha, epic fail if they pay over 50

Real will be unstoppable this season. We still don't have good defender, we bought weak Neymar (Ramos and Pepe will crush him) and we sold Thiago :lol:

we have messi,neymar,iniesta in a team, thats the most dangerous offensive trio in the world.
when we get a decent cb, and pique gets his head out of shakiras babyslide, we can trash every team in the world
