RM pay him €600K p/w - we would be expected to pay €300K p/w. Wages in other countries are reported after tax, in the UK before tax.

When ever he has been fit (other than this year) his performances and numbers have been in the top 5 -10. His issue is he cant stay fit, I would avoid but would be worried if he gets a run of games elsewhere we will regret it.
Seem to be a difference of opinion between him and Zidane imo nothing more. If we can get it done, i say do it. World class players are a rarity despite his injury problems. Imagine him and Kane starting together, most teams would shit themselves b4 they even play us. And he has a great scoring record against dippers, one of our main competitors. Yes he won't play every game, but i say it's worth it.
Then stop complaining when you don't like what you read ... you're either to stupid, or just to incompetent, to work out how this forum works .... if you don't use the ignore button then don't complain about reading things you want to ignore .... jeez it's not feckin' rocket science.
Ah ok, I never knew that, that would probably blow us out of the water.
It’s a valid question. I don’t think it’s really down to football. He’s on an obscene wage and has demonstrated absolutely no interest in integrating into the team (apparently). He’s probably rubbed a lot of the locals up the wrong way.
He’s still a great player though. And his injuries have actually been very light this year,
Beckham rule finished in 2010 after the credit crunch - I don't think he will be benefiting. The recent Tax issues were based on local earnings v
Nobody tell him.

He's just not.
17/18 season 16 goals in the league
16/17 season 7 goals in the league
15/16 season 19 goals in the league
14/15 season 13 goals in the league
And you're telling me that's some stats for Madrid player with their domination in Primera smh
When fit
And he was always injured in last 5 seasons? It's excuse because he's not the player he once was. That's it.
I think it's amusing and I have a feeling he does it to annoy
Bale is obviously a very good player. He became an incredible athlete under us but late on his technical ability also went through the roof. You don't lose that.
He has neither flopped nor been a huge success in Madrid. He has scored key goals and won trophies though.
He is injury prone, no doubt about that. But a medical assessment might decide it's ok, I don't know.
Does he have an attitude problem now? I don't know but Poch will not tolerate anything like that, it would rule a deal out. Would he adapt as Poch tells him to?
Would players who survived his time here accept him back? I think so but I don't know.
Money might kill a deal but then Levy can be inventive. We signed Ade years ago with City paying most his wages.
Would Bale see it a step down? Not now we are CL finalists, new stadium etc.
If all these hurdles could be negotiated then I'd have him back. He could help elevate us to the title next season, assuming we sort our other signings. The fear factor, the space it would give our other players, more than one goal a season from free kicks.

Bale seems to have been fairly successful in Spain...

An ideal summer for me would see Atal, Andersen, Gomes, Sessegnon, Grealish and another CM come in, with the likes of Trippier, Alderweireld, Wanyama, Nkoudou & Janssen move on. I'm still really on the fence about Llorente, not because of his quality but because of how replacing him will stifle Parrotts progression to the first team.
Personally I'd be open to extending Fernando for another year if it means Parrott gets an extra year to develop before stepping up. Send Walker-Peters, Skipp & Edwards on loan with Edwards getting a new 3 year deal this summer to safeguard us.
Gomes I like but looking at Winks & Diers injuries this season I think one midfielder would be reckless. Who that +2 is or could be I've got no idea.
That would mean we bring in 2 HG and shift 1 on a permanent basis, reduce the age of the squad, fill it with depth in required areas and continue to keep to our wage and transfer fee structure which should keep the top brass sweet as moving forward. Spine of the team settled for at least another 3 years. 6 signings required with 5 permanently out + 3 season long loan deals though. Past records tells is this is highly unlikely.

The appeal is the raw talent that he is, and the prospect of Pochettino developing him.
