I agree, whatever the Bale fee is get a wheelbarrow and throw it at Madrid for their three cast-offs. We are dealing with one club for three players so we have a tiny chance of pulling it off rather than trying to negotiate with multiple clubs. All fantasy anyway but that's the only route I see left to bumping us up the level we need in the space of one day.
But Wenger has completely lost the plot so expect the craziest and worst outcome. I can't even imagine what he might pull out of his arse as the panic sets in on Monday.
