There are better and simpler ways of showing we won't be bullied than ridiculously overpaying for a kid.
Sign Bale or another world class player and you'll send a bigger message
I think someone said Bale was on £300k per week tax free which is £600k to us with tax. Thats £31.2m per year, plus bonuses paid out on a depreciating asset. The point I tried to make in my post is that a young player might be on £50k per week, £2.6m per year. From what is said on here, players regularly get contract updates with pay rises, when deserved and earned.
Why would the club spend £80m on Bale on a 3 year deal (nearly 29 years old), plus pay £90m in wages + bonuses who will likely be worth £5-10m at the end of the contract. When for that £100m we can have 3 quality youngsters, pay them £50-90k per week for 3 years and still end up with change, and 3 assets who will still have some value.
