Imagine getting paid so much every week and only play about 10-15 games a season. Win 3 CL. The greatest money heist in history surely. Amazing what one great season can do for a player.
Ah fair enough, so maybe c. 20 mil to pay but in general the way the market is now its still not the biggest risk and you could probably offset some of the cost with marketing etc.He is on much more than 15 million a year (he is around that much after tax)

Around 600K per week before tax.
ThisIf there is a chance of getting Gareth Bale, for little transfer fee (and negotiate sensible wages..) then we take him. We wouldn't need to worry about him playing every game, and I wouldn't mind 20 / 25 games out of him when fit. He is a super player, and I would imagine may take to a new challenge.
I don't want him going to a rival. No way.
We are not going to fill our team with players under 25. And, we haven't that many really good players.
Gareth Bale would be great with Rashford, Cheong, Greenwood etc, and (if Pogs stays..) would give us some genuine presence in matches. You think any of the top sides want Gareth Bale playing against their defence? I certainly wouldn't want to see him against our defence...
That I could get behind.If a bale loan is possible and we can get rid of sanchez it is a no brainer. No obligation to buy.
So, basically, he plays all the time when he's not injured. Not bad.
Bale was the main man of so many of their finals when others didn't step up as well. Him and Ramos.Bale should probably retire or do a few seasons back at Spurs before heading off to LA Galaxy.
Had a good career, although I'd say fortunate to land at Real during their massive domination period in Europe. Now he is a bit screwed as no one outside of the retirement homes will take him on. He now has to look at loans or pay as you play type deals.
Best of luck to him but I now don't want to buy him or loan him.
A lot of hamstring, calf and ankle injuries there, is there anything left of them at this point?! Wouldn't go anywhere near him, those are muscular injuries and will have a lasting effect. I think he'll see out his deal with Real and retire.
If he genuinely doesn't to play for United, of course we don't take him. However, I would not be surprised if he my fancy a crack at Manchester United.Sod taking him on loan. RVP was added to an already functional team to be the cherry on top which enabled us to win a title. We're winning feck all of note next season anyway so I'd rather give the minutes to a player from our academy or buy a player who is going to be here for the long haul.
Gareth Bale doesn't want to play for us and I don't think his body is up to the style of football we should be looking to play.
You mean Manchester United right?Bale should probably retire or do a few seasons back at Spurs before heading off to LA Galaxy.

Of course he has.Bale was the main man of so many of their finals when others didn't step up as well. Him and Ramos.
Madrid won't appreciate him because they are ultimately spoilt children - but anyone who watched Madrid from and outside perspective could see that Bale stepped up so many times when Madrid needed someone to do so.
Like who?On his day he is class but last thing United need is a injury prone player who is past his best on extortionate wages and has never really showed any love for the club.
We need to sign players who fit into the long term picture.
Well, we negotiate. Surely we would have learned from recent years...surely???Only a club desperate enough and daft enough to meet his ridiculous wage demand would be interested.
Welcome Gareth.
There’s no way you’re going to get that ideal contract with Bale. He’s gonna feck us over financially. Unless you get him on a pay as you play contract and he’s way too big to ever want to agree to that.Like who?
And are we talking about a player who isn't any good? The guy can play... Who amongst our attacking line-up is better than Gareth Bale?
he isn't ideal, and is injury prone. So you build a contract accordingly. There is no need, no need at all for the club to expose itself ridiculously for him, and I am not suggesting that.
But a fit Gareth Bale is good for United. Look at our options... Lindgard/Lukaku/Martial. !!
Or maybe he’ll accept a pay cut?The only way Bale goes back to Spurs is if RM pay like 75% of his wages as Spurs definitely cannot afford his 600k a week. Hell Spurs cant even afford half that. And this is my main problem with him, he just isnt worth that amount of money, It would be Sanchez v2.0 if we signed him.
If he was on reasonable wages and the xfer from Madrid was cheap, by all means but that is not the case.
No one will accept a pay cut. Not Bale, not Sanchez, not you or me either when there is a binding contract on hand.Or maybe he’ll accept a pay cut?
He did score the winning goal in two of these finals. In the other he assisted the goal in a tie that went to penalties. Could have been better but you can't say he stole a living there. His talent served the club well even if his fitness and duration were disappointing.Imagine getting paid so much every week and only play about 10-15 games a season. Win 3 CL. The greatest money heist in history surely. Amazing what one great season can do for a player.
I think he'd be willing to do this, within reason, because it can't be very nice being at a club that patently want you to leave and are getting nasty about it. Combine a pay cut with RM being willing to subsidise 50% of his pay-cut wages, and the outline emerges of a deal that even Spurs could afford.Or maybe he’ll accept a pay cut?
