Yep that would be a stumbling block. Can’t imagine he’d be happy to take a pay cut, unless he’s desperate to get out of Madrid and there are no takers from the other big clubs. Unlikely I know.

We then run into the issue of parity for the likes of Kane, Dele, Son and Eriksen ( if he decides to re-up with us). Can't see Daniel sanctioning a 350K ( if not more) salary for Bale.

Probably no chance but a 2 year loan for Bale similar to the James Rodriguez deal at Bayern would be perfect

Suppose that is an option maybe tied in to a stadium deal

It just isn't us to buy a player getting towards 30 on big wages but you never know

Not sure the policy has anything to do with it mate.
I just don't think Levy would've bothered with the first refusal clause when he sold Bale, if he had no intention of exploring it if the opportunity arises.
The agents comments about the RM supporters today, the lack of celebrating goals when he scores, the fans booing him non stop, first full season for THFC in their new stadium.

Don't forget, at Madrid, he barely gets any of his image rights. If/when he leaves, he & the buying club will have full control of his image rights. THFC could just allow him to keep all of them & that would offset the difference between what he earns & what we can afford.

Different players though buddy. Could Bale pull the strings like Eriksen used to do for us before whatever has happened to him happened?
Could Eriksen have the same sort of runs & produce the same sort of goals that Bale is capable of?
They're both better than eachother if they're in their own positions. Just as they'd both be pretty cack if they tried to play in eachothers position.

Totally agree with you. This is not as outlandish as some would believe. There's a number of good reasons as to why he'd come back to us. The biggest stumbling block would be wages... but that would ultimately depend on how badly he wanted to join us, as he'd have to accept some level of decrease. I can see we would go as high as what Kane is making for him. And if a deal is made on image rights, then I'm sure he'll survive on the average $250K he'll be making a week. Don't get me wrong, he'll have to cut back on discretionary spending... so, only three supercars this year, as opposed to five. But I reckon, he'd cope with the sacrifice. It'll be extremely difficult, but with the support of the fans and Ben Davies, I have faith he'll survive this financial nightmare.Not sure the policy has anything to do with it mate.

A bit left field but if Eriksen leaves and we can’t sign Isco or someone of his ilk how about Roberto Pereyra from Watford, always looks super skilful and impactful when I watch him and has pedigree having coming from Juventus.

Some more names to consider:
- Federico Chiesa (21, Winger, Fiorentina): The talismanic winger has been fantastic for La Viola this term, with 11 goals and 8 assists in 29 appearances (all comps). Skillful, hard-working, and has a real eye for goal.
- Ismaila Sarr (21, Winger, Rennes): The 6'1, rangy winger has really caught the eye this season with 9 goals and 9 assists in 36 apps (all comps). Very quick and direct, and can play across the front line. Will be interesting to see him vs Arsenal in the Europa.
- Brais Mendez (22, Winger, Celta Vigo): The playmaking, classy winger has registered 5 goals and 7 assists in 24 apps (all comps) this season. Wyscout had him in their La Liga team of the season so far (as of January), despite his team languishing in 17th spot.
- Pedro Porro (19, RB, Girona): The versatile wing-back has been linked with both Barca and Real Madrid in the past year. Excellent write up on him here.
- Christian Kouame (21, ST, Genoa): 6'1, powerful, versatile and quick; the striker has been linked with a host of big clubs this season. Whoscored had him down as their young player of the season so far (as of December).

Sarr is a real live wire. Definite PL potential.

Would have thought we could get Ziyech from Ajax for that (or even less). Bale and Ziyech in for Eriksen would be an amazing bit of business.
