Sandro is the fucking man.
If he ever leaves us I will be far more heartbroken than any other player I've seen leave.
As exciting as the prospect of Bale linking up with the new signings we have made is, I find myself strangely untroubled by the thought of Bale going for a kings ransom to RM. It's not one single reason, but a few. I hope some of the money will be invested wisely in 1-3 very decent players, strengthening us in more than one area. I think in Soldado we have potentially already replaced Bale's goal/assist production (just in a different role/area). I am slightly uncomfortable with being a team that relies so heavily on one individual - having them is great, but the best managers and teams prove time and again that they can prosper when their star individuals leave (Ferguson/ManU are the best example of this but Mourinho, Klop, Bielsa and Wenger are also good models of team ethic over the individual).
Personally I'd take Coentrao, Di Maria and 60-80m yesterday and go and by another creative like Eriksen, Dzagoev, Lamela, Bernard (or two of them) and I'd feel better about the future than keeping Bale and making no more signings.
The speculation is getting boring now, just want it resolved to stop it dominating my thought process every day, one thing I will be grateful for if gareth goes is the memories of his development within our club and the wonderful last season he gave us, so many great goals and memories, we can only hope he feels the same and wants one more season of the same

I'm not bothered, if he stays nice, if he goes to Madrid then so be it.
He's a very good player but he isn't as good as people say he is. One good season doesn't make you the third best player in the world and it doesn't make you world class. Two things a lot of fans say that he is.
Its kind of like when the Denver Nuggets traded Melo away (his wish), they got a lot back in return and became a better team. I hope that we re invest the money wisely and the board listen to AVB.
