$10mil and I fecked it up!
It's one of the most ridiculous moves imaginable. Now let's see if it really sets off a transfer frenzy...it won't, but I want to see Jim White cream himself into a different galaxy.
You're just spending the Ronaldo money.Did we find an unlimited source of oil, gold and diamonds under the Bernabeu or something?
With sales this Summer your net spend was basically zero, until now, right?Did we find an unlimited source of oil, gold and diamonds under the Bernabeu or something?

The whole thing is beyond crazy - £300K a year is outrageous.I know that a contingent of money in football comes from the fans but 300k a week to me is pretty 'sickening' for want of a better word. A wage cap should be introduced as that is just wrong.

Di Maria isn't going anywhere though[/Glaston], on the other hand, Ozil looks as good as gone.With sales this Summer your net spend was basically zero, until now, right?
To be fair, selling Ozil and Di Maria will probably net you around 60-70m. Thing is, I'd rather both of them in my team than Bale
Great, maybe we can sell them buildings back then and get some new shiny ones somewhere else.Under a few government buildings I think
To be completely honest, 200k a week is just as bad. Football went nuts a while ago, not just today.I know that a contingent of money in football comes from the fans but 300k a week to me is pretty 'sickening' for want of a better word. A wage cap should be introduced as that is just wrong.
Trying to disregard the transfer fee and sickening wages - what do you honestly make of this Bale-thing from a sporting perspective?To be completely honest, 200k a week is just as bad. Football went nuts a while ago, not just today.
I suspect there will be some serious uproar, especially from people who don't watch the game.How is this being viewed in Spain, especially with all the financial problems the country has faced recently?
For now yes, but wait till he signs his new 5 year deal.Is that more than what Ronaldo makes?
Have there been any reports that he is close to signing a new deal in Spain?I suspect there will be some serious uproar, especially from people who don't watch the game.

I think you mean per week, right? Does that make him the best paid player in the world? Has to be close to it.The whole thing is beyond crazy - £300K a year is outrageous.

Dunno man, I've not seen him play that much yet to form an opinion. I hope I won't agree with you next summer though.Trying to disregard the transfer fee and sickening wages - what do you honestly make of this Bale-thing from a sporting perspective?
Ask me to rank him amongst the attacking techno-midgets and Ronaldo of Real, and I'd say he's pretty much a poorer player than all of Özil, Ronaldo, Modric and Isco, and better than Di Maria. I mean, he just isn't that good.
It won't be long til clubs can't afford to keep up with the inflation of wage.Very much so, but this is taking it to another level imo. IIRC Young is another player who is on wages way higher than his level but i wouldn't even think it was right to pay Messi 300k let alone Bale. It's just going to get crazier until someone steps in and changes the rules again.
No I mean a year (when the average wage in the UK is about £25K) : it's obscene what footballers get paid.I think you mean per week, right? Does that make him the best paid player in the world? Has to be close to it.
Not so big as the risk that he'll turn out a £30 million player - which he is.The risk factor in this deal is immense.
What are the odds on him getting injured long term a few games in?
There have been a while back, apparently a new deal would make him the best paid player in world football.Have there been any reports that he is close to signing a new deal in Spain?
That will happen in any case. It would just be a bit funnier if he was sitting on the sidelines and getting paid that amount.Not so big as the risk that he'll turn out a £30 million player - which he is.
He'll score about 25 goals next season and provide less than 10 assists, plus he'll distrupt their system. My honest prediction.
There have been a while back, apparently a new deal would make him the best paid player in world football.
If this is true though we'd have 2 players on 300k a week, which would be fecking madness.
I am sure Ronaldo's ego would want him to be earning more than Bale. How much would that be annually?There have been a while back, apparently a new deal would make him the best paid player in world football.

I wouldn't even worry about it. I doubt Ronnie cares because at the end of the day, he's still the main man and the Real Madrid players will still be looking to pass to himI am sure Ronaldo's ego would want him to be earning more than Bale. How much would that be annually?
What's wrong if he says the latter? You can't really fault his desire to be the best player in the world when you look at the bar already set by Ronaldo. Fair play to him if he achieves it.Will Bale come up with the equivalent of Neymar's quote (I came here to help the best player in the world) ? Or will he start to believe the hype and say he'll wanna become the best player in the world ?
I didn't judge anything, just asked a question.What's wrong if he says the latter? You can't really fault his desire to be the best player in the world when you look at the bar already set by Ronaldo. Fair play to him if he achieves it.
Well when you say "will he start to believe the hype," it sort of implies you don't think he's capable of it and that he'd be wrong to say such a thing.I didn't judge anything, just asked a question.
