Bale. Could we? Would we? Should we?

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

Wow this is out of left field. GGG did not hear anything from his sources about these turn of events.

Only he can say that he's earned enough. Why do you think having made £100m is enough? By that token there wouldn't be any billionaires, because once they reached 100m, they'd just stop or work for free.

The more you have the more you want with most people, its called greed.

 

[wiziwig]

Imagine thinking North Korea and Shanghai were comparable

It's Gareth ( show me the money ) Bale here and you've never heard of the great golf course in Pyongyang?

Spending six years in Spain and still not speaking the language is very Brexit.

 

[Gutter Boy]

That's very strange

Asensio and jovic's injuries?

 

[Craig_J]

Now let’s go in for him

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Asensio and jovic's injuries?

Or just that madrid haven’t a plan with their signings

This will have been covered previously but I cba to crawl through 49 pages of conjecture..

We had a first refusal clause when we first sold Bale? If Real were to sell him we could offer the same amount and they'd have to accept our offer?

Could it be as simple as we were willing to match (£0.00) or beat (£0.01) the chinese club's asking price?

I also have a feeling the first refusal clause would be time limited..

I think someone said we did have a clause but it expired in June.

I heard he can actually speak ok Spanish, just not confident enough to do interviews.

Still, after 6 years that's not great.

 

[Baleforce]

Interesting that the Madrid board are working against ZZ over this.

I'd heard that he couldn't use Spanish in training and his lack of Spanish was a factor in him not getting on with his team mates.

Perhaps he’s been learning Catalan the whole time and Bale is going to do a Figo in reverse!

 

[Gutter Boy]

Now let’s go in for him

Can he play RB?

 

[monkeybarry]

Can he play RB?

Left back - where it all began!
Danny won't have to Google that one.

Nah - wouldn't want him to stifle Sessegnon's development. The past was Bale's but the future is Sess's

 

[Craig_J]

But the biggest factor of all is the fact his team mates are a bunch of overpaid, overrated, egotistical, prima-donna tossers.

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

Madrid just playing hard ball with the Chinese club IMO.

Speaks volumes to the situation that they are the only serious suitors.

Even PSG arent interested.

If a team mate had helped you to collect four CL winners medals proudly displayed in your house, you'd think you'd forgive them not being fluent in Spanish, it's not like they can't communicate with English (not an excuse, just stating it's not the be all).
Or it could be, that if Madrid want you out, they instruct their players to spread gossip, in much the same way they do when they want to buy someone. You really do sell your soul going to that club.

I think a player being able to communicate in the native language should be expected, even more so when he has been there for 6 years and is on the amount he is on.

It just comes across as arrogance and laziness.
