I know a lot of you are Barcelona fans so are you worried about the arrival of the Welshman?

I think the price tag is too high but that doesn't seem to be a problem for Real Madrid. On his day Bale is unplayable, he is faster than Ronaldo and has a shot almost as good, and he can defend as well as attack. I still remember the 3 stunning goals he scored against Maicon and Inter at the San Siro in 2010, and he is a lot better player now.

I am slightly worried for Bale to be honest, I mean as you say the price tag is too high, he is now by money measurements the best player in the world and that means scoring the odd winner in 5 or 6 games like he did at Spurs is not enough. Even 20 Goals a season isnt enough. For that price he needs to do what Ronaldo does and score 40+ goals a season or even what Messi does score 60+ a season.

Personally I dont see that happening. He will be a great player, but not that extra step to Ronaldo in my opinion. (Of course then there is another step to Leo ;) )

Anyway I cant wish him well Im afraid as with my Spanish Football Hat on I am a fan of Barca.

As for the English Scene. It appears amazing that Man U havent got anyone. Reports say they have lost out on Herrara.

Advantage Chelsea and Man City

Arsenal signing Ozil is a decent buy, but not really what the need.

Who knows but not alot happening thus far

Its not necessarily David Moyes I blame for what's happened this year. Ed Woodward seems to be totally out of his depth. Amateurish.

Arsenals midfield is now looking very good again.

Whilshire, Ramsay, Carzola, Walcott and now Ozil.

Shame they don't have any centre backs.

It's not necessarily completely Moyes' fault. Ed Woodward has a lot to answer for. Amateurish.

Stupid money like this is what is ruining football. There is no way Bale (he is absolutely a great player, that is in no doubt, he is possibly one of the best 5 players in the world) is seven times the player that Courtinho or Danny Welbeck, et al are.

I wish Bale all the best at Real and have no issue with him leaving Spurs (in fact I couldn't wipe the smile off my face or stop humming 'going down, going, down, going down...... when I was having lunch with a friend of mine from Tottenham.), but if the super rich clubs continue to skew the transfer markets with actions like this, football will eventually fall over a cliff.

Özil sold by RM?
Big mistake me thinks.
