I doubt it. Madrid haven't got as much money as you think. Which is why the negotiations are taking so long. Madrid want to pay in instalments.
Gareth Bale Transfer Speculation | Done
- Thread starter forevrared

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Well well well....
Hope this is signed off and finished tomorrow so we can have a muppetfest over Ronaldo for a few days
Yeah, I'm buying into the idea that the Bale transfer will set off a flurry of other deals. Then there's the Suarez deal on top of that, the possibility of Mata or Luiz leaving Chelsea, Arsenal with money to burn and I wouldn't rule out Chelsea making another bid for Rooney either.
Why do you think Levy has basically been arguing the toss over minor details for about six weeks now? Everyone in the world knows he's gone - he's just trying to scupper other deals. We won't see an announcement until about Saturday morning.
Shirts on sale before the official statement, not very professional.
Would love it so much if someone steals him from under madrid's nose.
You seriously have a raging hatred for Bale don't you.
If I was a store manager I would do the same given the odds of him signing. Might as well jump the gun and steal some market share before the other shops start selling.
He is on a strike now? I hate when players do that
Good point.
That font is a bit shite.
Imagine if it was BALE 7 ...

Imagine it was, that store manager would feel like some spastic
Why? Ronaldo is coming to us as soon as Bale goes to Madrid. How do you not know this?Imagine it was, that store manager would feel like some spastic
That's the CL font this year - looks like a fecked-up Euro-Japanese script. Horrible.
Bale would keep 11 anyway.
Presume you mean champions league with CL? If so, you're wrong
Only madrid use it, they'll use it for league games aswell as domestic cups, it even has little madris badges on the numbers
So Madrid print player names in Comic Sans now?
Not sure how Bale will be able to compete with Ronaldo as the main man, free role, taking all the free kicks and penalties. He might just find himself playing as a winger and taking corners.
Reminds me of kits drawn up by a kid who want to uses some fancy font to look different.
Maybe paper scissors stone.
That's exactly what I think will happen. Bale's movement in the box isn't good enough for him to abandon his wing on a regular basis. It's something he could get away with at Spurs, but at Real he'll be surrounded by much better finishers than him.
"Always in for the best players" says Moyes. Why the feck didn't he just say no?
We have never competed for the top players and if this summer is anything to go by that is likely only to worsen.

Wouldn't be hilarious if Spuds fannied around for so long that the deal doesn't actually go though in time?
Monkey boy would have to come back with his tail between his legs, they've spend £M's & £M's on the back of a big fee that doesn't materialise, he'd be right pissed off all season & we could pick him up for £35M next year!

I agree with you, though Bale isn't yet the finished article I think, he seems eager to progress and by all accounts is a real professional. Though his hissy fit and decision not to train with Spurs indeed contradicts this, but if his transfer to Real materializes, I think he'll be great in La Liga.
I was thinking the same thing. Madrid, after having seen how much Spurs have spent, could deliberately let the deal fall through knowing that they could pick him up for a much lower price next time.
Another article in the long line of the BBC reporting things as news that aren't news in the Bale saga.
Of course they have agreed personal terms, the cynic in you says they did it months ago.

I bet the personal terms were agreed ages ago.
Jesus, just wrap it up already you tedious bastards.
Hmmm, I wonder what wage he's on.
500 bananas and as many nuts as he can eat per week.
Please say more than Ronaldo, would be the cherry on the very large cake that is this saga.
Funny how the Lamela deal is announced and a couple of minutes later Bale has agreed terms with Madrid.
Bale and Marcelo attacking down the left flank. Bale gets the ball and the crowd starts making monkey noises as he passes it on to Marcelo, who in turn misinterprets the noises, picks up the ball, hoofs it into the crowd and walks off the pitch
I can't see that happening due to Bale's eagerness to join them, though the world most expensive player
should be the world's highest paid as well Imagine the handbags. We'd buy Ronnie tomorrow.
I think I read somewhere he'll be closer to Ramos and Casillas "range" than Ronaldo.
I see so many different guesses on his wages, but my guess would be £200,000. Is that close to Sergio and Iker's wages?
Also, Sky Sports reporting a completely different story to BBC: http://www1.skysports.com/football/...ale-until-after-tottenhams-derby-with-arsenal
I have no idea what Levy is trying to get at now. Surely he has squeezed the most out of Madrid?

From the BBC article, interesting:
Although what his age has to do with the rest of that sentence, I really have no idea.
