We should offer them Sanchez in exchange.
There is no way that Spurs are going to pay Bale even half of what he gets at RM - this would far exceed what we even pay Harry Kane - and then pay RM €50-60m for the privilege.I read that Marca are saying that Spurs have agreed a deal where they pay Madrid €50-60m and paying half of his €17m salary, with Madrid paying Bale €25m.
I'm in 2 minds. He's a matchwinner and provided he stays fit would walk into our starting 11.
I'm just sceptical of his desire. I know madrid have been cnutish in public towards him and its turned sour (like it usually does) but Bale hasn't done himself any favours in my eyes - although he has in his bank managers eyes.
If he came out and said he still has a desire to play football and joined Bayern, Inter (on a mere 200k a week) or any top European club then he'd go well up in my estimation as a footballer.
If stories are true about him wanting to sit it out and collect the 600k a week until his contract is over then fair enough - I dont want him anywhere near our club. This tells me he is mentally retired.
He must have a net worth of over £20million by now? How sad tarnishing your reputation as one of the best british players ever for something you wont even need when all is said and done.
Excuse my inner Dr evil.£20
£20m ? And the rest ....
It's just Marca trying to make Madrid come out as the winner of this transfer. I do think you will get Bale though.There is no way that Spurs are going to pay Bale even half of what he gets at RM - this would far exceed what we even pay Harry Kane - and then pay RM €50-60m for the privilege.
If he's coming on a free transfer, for a deal lasting 2 years, then maybe we'd go for it, but not otherwise IMO
Sure, how long before Pogba goes on a strike asking for 600k/week after that?We should offer them Sanchez in exchange.
Baffled you thought a 30 year old player earning a reported 600k a week, would only be worth 20m?!Excuse my inner Dr evil.
Yeah I was way off
£60 million net worth?
Likely his wages will be subsidised by Real.It’s obvious he will have to take a pay cut to move. Depends how seriously he values his career.
Maybe they should have thought about the time might have to sell him when they wage him such insane wages, similar mistake to what we did with Sanchez. Although obviously Bale has put in performances which merit those wages over the years.I think RM is so desperate to get rid of him that they probably will cover part of his wages at this point.
As a club, I don't really respect some of the things they do but I can't really blame them in this case.
He has 4-5 top-level games per season in him and the rest he is either injured, recovering from injuries or in a bad form.
I hope we aren't really considering buying him (even if RM covers part of his wages) because it will be really bad business. His head doesn't seem to be in the game anymore.
They won’t get much. Not after ZZ’s comments. Think they’ll be happy just to be rid of his contract.I’m more concerned about what sort of fee they get for him. We could do without them finding another 200m between now and the end of the summer!
Shouldn't be much, as Chinese clubs are subject to a 50% tax on signings, i.e. pay 60M for a 30M transfer, the rest goes to their government. But no such laws on wages.I’m more concerned about what sort of fee they get for him. We could do without them finding another 200m between now and the end of the summer!
He's a top player, if he was available for free and he would be prepared to accept £350k a week on the basis that he is fit to play then why not, he is one of the best players in the world.Maybe if they let him go for free and he’d accept £150k per week or something like that. Otherwise feck no.
Wouldn’t it be pay 15 million on a 30 million transfer? What you wrote is a hundred percent tax.Shouldn't be much, as Chinese clubs are subject to a 50% tax on signings, i.e. pay 60M for a 30M transfer, the rest goes to their government. But no such laws on wages.
How has he ruined his career? The guy has won 4 CL titles, more than everyone except literally a handful of players in the history of the game. There’s nothing left for him to achieve in his career at this point."How to ruin your career" by Gareth Bale soon in your bookstores.
Yep, it's a 100% tax, I was mistakenly looking at the whole price. Though what you wrote is a 50% sale, not tax! They've gotta pay 60M for a 30M transfer.Wouldn’t it be pay 15 million on a 30 million transfer? What you wrote is a hundred percent tax.
He was paid for what he did and now its time to move on. There is no room for sentimentality in football else real will become like us who keep players despite being way past their expiry date and treat jlingz like an 18 year oldThis is why you cant expect player loyalty when you look at how Madrid is handling this situation. Bale has achieved more than Zidane and yet he is being treated like some bench warmer. Scored and assisted more than him and yet Zidane treats him like he is darmian. Its actually disgraceful and I cant understand why. He is a big reason why they won 3 back to back champions league and now that their done with him they are ready to let go in a very disrespectful manner. Loyalty in football means nothing for both player and club.
Wow. Gotta love communism. And no i meant they pay 15 million to their government on a 30 million transfer as in 45 total. That’s crazy. How are those clubs even ran? How does that government even operate? Am I about to get a history lesson on the cafe?Yep, it's a 100% tax, I was mistakenly looking at the whole price. Though what you wrote is a 50% sale, not tax!

His contract isnt done and neither is he according to him so how is it time to move on from a neutral persepctive?He was paid for what he did and now its time to move on.

Bale is entitled to stick to the terms of his contract just as Real are entitled to use all the tricks in the book to push him out. This situation is no different to Chelsea-Bogarde or Inter-Baggio a few years back. Most of the time, the player will eventually leave as he wouldn't want to stick to an environment were no one wants him.His contract isnt done and neither is he according to him so how is it time to move on from a neutral persepctive?
Then why do we always criticize players who want to leave when clubs do the same when they have no further use? Loyalty is overrated and we need to stop critisizing player like pogba who aren't supposedly loyal when in fact they are just doing what they think is best for them. I really dont care about where bale ends up as long as it isn't here. My problem is couldn't they at least do it with some respect even though its fine that they dont want him?Bale is entitled to stick to the terms of his contract just as Real are entitled to use all the tricks in the book to push him out.
