That would rely on 3 things.Apparently the bean counters at RM reckon that offloading Bale on a free is till good biz. Any truth in that?
Financially, it's a ridiculous move. See Walkerboy's post above yours.Why wouldn't it? As he said, same owner so it doesn't matter which pot the wages come out of, they still get the benefit of Bale

What do you mean by "offloading on a free"? Offering him out for zero transfer fee? There's still only a handful of clubs that could meet his wage demands.
Is anyone here a friend of Gareth Bale who speaks Spanish? Because that's the only way you'd know what efforts he's taken to learn the language and how fluent he is. I don't know Gareth but my hunch is he does speak Spanish but is uncomfortable doing so in public.
Don't forget that for years our manager rarely if ever spoke English in public but the consensus here is that he'd learnt it and likely spoke English to his players and staff, to Levy and also to people he'd encounter in day-to-day life away from the media, like shop assistants, footy folk, his car mechanic, the postman, his neighbours, and so on. He was uncomfortable, maybe shy, wary of being misunderstood and having his words twisted by the press, and perhaps it was tactical or maybe he just couldn't be arsed with humouring people who had no interest in him as a person but in what he could do for them -- give them a story, status by association, money, an object of ridicule, or whatever.
I suspect Bale and Poch's linguistic abilities, the contexts in which they demonstrate them and the amount they choose to reveal are broadly similar, as are their motivations in this regard, and perhaps too are their personal comfort levels in using their second languages when, as the perfectionists they undoubtedly are, they've felt like beginners with a lot of room for improvement.
You can't use Spanish as a stick to beat Bale with.

Keep Alderwireld & Eriksen. Its a squad that can win the title.
Well yeah but that 4th player there is one massively, unlikely occurrenceNdombele

Just a thought. If RM offloads Bale and his 600k a week, that frees up enough money for a 300k a week player and 15.6 mil a year of amortisation (clubs do that to spread the transfer fees). Sign a player for 5 years and that amortisation equals 78 mil.
300k a week and 78 milions might not get you Pogba, but it may get you Eriksen. Fingers crossed he signs a new contract.
Don't know if this has been posted and don't know if it's from today/yesterday but he's supposedly landed in China. Doesn't look happy either.......

Ok, thanks. I'll delete it.That video is from March 2018.
That's clearly Kenneth McEvoy and we've just sealed the swindle of the century.Saw that earlier, would’ve thought it would be everywhere if that’s today
