Kane would want parity for one.
Kane can have parity. He probably already does/soon will.

Yeah, there's that, but if I was playing for Spurs now, I'd not begrudge Bale coming in on the biggest wages and simultaneously think I deserved to be paid the same as him. He'd be a huge motivator/inspiration to a lot of our team imo.
If they want to reach his level and earn what he does, then they have to earn it.
If Bale came & was to earn much higher wages than the rest, I don't think it would really destabilize the squad even if it was significantly higher than their renegotiated contract amounts.
Surely they would understand what he has accomplished compared to them. He's a bonafide superstar of the game who is a multiple trophy & 3X CL winner (possibly 4) who is coming "back" to help them win what they all desire: titles & trophies.
My only minor fear is if he comes back with a Messiah Complex but there's no indication of that in his character.
By all accounts I don't see the messiah complex in him at all. in fact when you hear others talking about him its the complete opposite.
I remember a story about the welsh team and the food they were served was shocking, nobody was impressed. Bale went over to Chris Coleman and asked his permission to take the team coach and the boys all out to Nandos for chicken on him. Coleman said not a problem.
Seems more of a problem solver than a creator of issues to me. Saying that its all third hand information, I've never met him. Although to be fair I've never met Jack Wheelchair but i can guarantee that bloke is a knob.
He was the reason I became a Spurs fan. I think it would be the ultimate statement to see him come back with the opening of the stadium. But just seems like more of a dream than anything else to this point.
I would imagine they would insist on that. Give them the hope but I don't see Kane leaving for a long long time if at all.Could we not do a deal where we take Bale for a good but reasonable price and they get contractually binding first option on Harry Kane if we ever decide to sell him?
Wouldn't put it past levy to try and make Madrid pay for the transfer fee also!Can't we get Madrid to pay his wages like Adebayour
Someone has said that real take a big cut of his advertisment, could be a good amount going back to him if we offer it to offset the wages.He's said recently that Spurs are the only team (other than RM) that he'd want to play for. Maybe he'd be willing to take a measly $150k pw to play for us. We give him a sign on bonus. There's creative ways of doing this. Long shot, but if he really does love us as much as he says, he'll compromise.
I don't think it would be a case of "Why is he earning more than me?" but more a case of "Why can't the club afford to pay me market rate wages if they're paying them to Bale?". If I was a key player I wouldn't be too impressed and i'd feel like I was a less valued member of the squad.If Bale came & was to earn much higher wages than the rest, I don't think it would really destabilize the squad even if it was significantly higher than their renegotiated contract amounts.

Do you not think that they'd be excited by him coming?I don't think it would be a case of "Why is he earning more than me?" but more a case of "Why can't the club afford to pay me market rate wages if they're paying them to Bale?".

Perhaps a straight transfer for Bale is out of the question, especially considering his current weekly wage, but what about a season long loan deal?
If the Madrid manager (whoever that may be) tells him that he's not in his plans for next season, then he might consider this option.
Basically, plays every week, plays in the Champions League, involved in a PL title challenge, at a club where he is adored by the fans, and all the while still getting paid his crazy weekly wage. And at the end of it, he can weigh-up his options having been in the 'shop-window' for a whole season, instead of on the bench.
All depends on other clubs coming in for Bale, but not a crazy scenario to imagine...
