Why would it be a problem?
Apparently rumours are that Ronaldo doesnt want Bale and that basically he wants to be top dog. Him not signing a contract may potentially be a issue for Bale, as it may cause friction. Even worse Ronaldo has been apparently complaining about spending all this money on Bale and not his new deal which may mean Real Madrid use the Bale money to keep him happy.

Ah right. Yeah I'd heard that. Well I don't really care what happens at Madrid to be honest. It'll be their problem. Thanks Gareth, but I for one won't be following your career when you're gone.

I can see Ronaldos point, Bale hasn't earned the price tag he's got, Real would be much better off tying Ronaldo down for a few more years now and letting Bale develop for another year with us.

Que laboured point, they should also be looking to sort out their squad properly rather than aiming for a new Galactico.

I can quite believe this.

I've always thought they needed a striker more than Bale to be honest.

Agree with both of these posts. Ronaldo was much more developed when he left United, he was scoring for fun for a good couple of seasons. Bale has only really broken out as a top goalscorer last year, and really it was only for the 2nd half of the season.

I still don't understand why Real don't just go for Suarez this year instead. He'd be a perfect fit for them and would cost a lot less than Bale. They can have Bale next year, providing he delivers the goods again, and not risk incurring the wrath of their best player. Makes much more sense. Even for Bale it does too as the pressure at Real this year will be immense. Fans will expect him to be at least on a par with Ronaldo and it could disrupt the team.

Bale this summer was always going to be the political signing to match Neymar and Barca. Nothing to do with the squad or how Ancelotti saw his side.

Pathetic really when you think about it. That's not thinking what is best for your club, it's just a matter of pride and who has got the bigger balls.

Perez just wants to beat Barca at everything on and off the pitch while keeping his ego inflated. If I were Madrid, I would go for Suarez now and then Bale next summer if he was to repeat last season's form. Especially if Ronaldo leaving next summer is true.

Not new news. Ronaldo has clearly not been happy for a while and maybe RM are just saying OK then we get Bale now, settle him in and off you go. Perhaps they see Bale as the younger player with the long term marketing potential and cr7 as not worth the trouble of a new massive contract. Ronaldo wants tops billing and with what he has done there it is hard to argue with him.
