I think Real will sign Bale, and i'm wondering where he fits? He's left footed so he should be a natural threat from the RW but I believe he is a LW (C.Ronaldo's spot). Ancelotti has played Cristiano more central in pre-season, instead of isolating him on the Wing...where I think he is best.

Cristiano with his back to the goal isn't as prolific as he is down the flanks. I hope this doesn't change. I'm sure his output won't drop with Isco + Ozil + Alonso/Modric etc pulling the strings and he can finish like no other (unlike Benz) but I prefer him on LW.

Getting Bale is a pure future play, knowing that Ronaldo might leave next summer. And to offset the Neymar purchase of Barca. But I'm not sure they need him. A pure striker is needed and some help in defence...dont trust Pepe at all even though he shows signs of brilliance (Euro 2012), Ramos is very helter skelter too
