Clarity - You said Depay will be better than Bale, he relies solely on his pace and that Bale isn't a clever footballer. Are we talking about the same Bale who ripped up the PL, CL and showed he can cope in the hostile trenches of Madrid? Isn't Depay's pace and getting at opponents the reason we are all advocating his signature?
I'm sorry but to predict Depay will even reach the levels of Bale (which is the pinnacle of our game) is an incredible statement in itself. Bale is a superstar, a game changer and a complete weapon. Depay potentially may be those things in years to come but to compare them at the moment and claim Depay is a better player is well, ludicrous really.

I believe that Bale would perform better if he is played on the LW. His performances would be atpeast 1.5 times his current.
Bale would be a massive hit in the PL. He is very similar to Rinaldo and him and Delay in the wings we'll have one foot in the PL title.

Firstly tour first and last sentences are contradicting
secondly, ripped up the PL? He had one season where he was a major influence in a season where spurs finished 5th.
If he was as good as you make him out to be he wouldn't be getting booed every game in madrid
His price tag precedes him I wouldn't value him at anything over £60m

De Boer said recently Depay can be the next Ronaldo Iv heard people say such and such is the next Messi. I've never heard anybody say wow he's the next Bale!!! LMFAO Top player but not in the same league as the actual "superstars"

what a load of rubbish , it wasnt that long ago ronaldo was getting booed.
also bales last season in the epl was outstanding .

Ronaldo and Messi are untouchable but Bale is amongst the group that can count themselves as challenging for next best. With the likes of Hazard, Suarez etc. He's perfect for the Epl too.
Wouldn't it work out perfectly if Bale gives Real another year, we get Depay this year then Bale next? We have a number of other priorities this summer but next summer we may be in a position to splash out on one big signing.

Agree with HoneyBadger, we have spent majority of our sums strengthening the attacking positions. If we had signed Vidal instead of Di Maria for a huge sum, we would certainly be better off than we are now.
Right back, CB, possibly 2 CBs and a midfielder should be a priority.
Also ings should sign.
The way we are playing we need a CF who plays as a team member, can drop deep and be more of a footballer. Wings checks all boxes. And I feel he is a good finisher as well.
Hernandez doesn't cut it, only a poacher. RVP on current form, looks awful.

Good stick to beat Bale with - Real fans booing him!!!! Depay might turn out to be the next X,Y,Z, but he is not fit to lace Bale's boots right now (hyperbole i know). Bale in any of the top 4 teams will guarantee the league!
Deeps.

Clarity your on abother planet pal! Bale is underneath the obvious in messi and Ronaldo , in the top 5 in the world. Complete game changer single handedly , he has it all pace, technique, good in the air. His set piece is quality! I doubt depay will reach bales level to be honest
