Enjoy it whilst it lasts. We're privileged to have such a superb player at the club, he won't be fully appreciated until he's gone.

I don't see how a player trade would ever work... The players we would want from them will never fit into our wage scheme...

Les Ferdinand
I dont think it would be a total trader. Maybe 30m plus one or two of their players. In regards to the wages - maybe Barca would pay part of the wages for the duration of their contract. Its been done in the past.

Fast attacking full back? Do Barca not use those?

I was thinking that but I'm still not sure Bale is anywhere near as good at retaining possession as Alves is. Bale has a high turnover of the ball in his dribbles etc and for a possession team like Barcelona, that isn't always good. Fabregas himself has admitted that he needs to remove the 'British' part of his game and not be quite so direct with his passing and dribbling, to be a bit more patient.
Stopping Bale and Alves running up from the fullback positions would be a fudging nightmare though.

Best player since Gazza. Congrats to the lad (for what it's worth).

Bale is not a full back.

Pretty sure he can play as an attacking full back.
For us this would not be as effective i could agree, but in a team like barcelona's how much of the time would he actually have to spend being back in defence?

In a dream world I would take Pique and Alexis Sanchez. Young world class players in positions we need.
If not Messi.

Of course he could be played there, but Bale likes to run with the ball, dont think he suits Barca's short passing game. They already have Messi who picks the ball up and runs with it.

Yes Bale is at his best when we break 3 on 3 or whatever - he just streaks past players before they have time to soil their pants.
I'm sure he could fit into any system, he's fast, athletic, good header, good technique.
His last goal against Wigan was a nice example of "not running"... he just touched it to one side and larruped it into the corner
Football is so easy when you see that happen
I sit there in the stand watching Adebayor or someone, thinking "go on son, you're only 20 yards out, you're a professional, just boff it in the corner" and next thing you know he's hit row Z
But with that goal Bale just casually says "I'll knock it in the far corner then I guess" and bosh, rifles it in. So simple

Some gooner taco on twitter just claimed that spurs fans are jealous because oxlade-chamberlain is twice the prospect Bale is. His handle is Joe_Slade. Douche.
