Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

[wrd]

We’d have never entertained the deal if that was the case, I think it’s just journalists trying to add a twist to the story to make it sound a bit more touch and go than it is.

 

[nedley]

I really don't think Levy can afford NOT to do it.

Apparently Madrid want us to pay all of his wages.

I higggghly doubt this.

 

[stormfly]

100% wages is just for them to save face surely. Maybe they’ll be a loan fee to sweeten the deal?

Dele covers the most ground in our team right now. in fact last season he was 5th in the league for distance covered per game

Coronavirus Break Stats- Best Work Rate in the Premier League & Highest Distance covered by a player in 90 minutes- 19-20 season

Here are some interesting stats that detail the players who have covered the highest distance per 90 minutes of playing time- in other words, hard working playe

If you're going to persist in giving positive facts about Dele please take it outside
Most in here don't want to hear it.
I'm pro Dele all the way obviously.

I can’t believe we will finally have a player who can take corners and free kicks again.

 

[Spurspiria]

I was trying to keep my emotions into check. But after a night of vino and beer.... Come back home Gareth!!!

 

[George94]

IF it's true, and Madrid have moved the goalposts and now want us to pay his full wages, the only was this move happens is if we buy him permanently and he takes a pay cut.

However based on all the ITK we've had, not sure I believe this is the case...yet...

Would love Bale to take the #3 and Reguilon to take the #9 just annoy a lot of people

You can naff off and take your Clint Dempsey level of shirt numbering nonsense with you.

I can’t really believe that Levy would have entered into negotiations if us paying £600k a week was ever on the table. Appreciate things can change quickly, but seems a bit far fetched.

 

[Daarkest]

i think it's all spin - nobody can afford 100% of his wages (or would pay them knowing the situation)

 

[Guntz]

I mean hasn't it been widely reported that they're happy to contribute 50% to get him out the door?

Why would they suddenly go back on that and risk having him eat up £600k a week for another season?

 

[Mr Pink]

That can't be right. There's no way we'd be willing to pay all his wages.

 

[spurs mental]

Can anyone who wants to shit on this excitement because they read something about wages kindly fuck off to the ITK thread and speak about it there.











*this is obviously a joke but get off the negative truck and on to the excitement plane*

 

[Matthew]

anyone else a bit worried now

yep! And here is the inevitable come down ?

 

[austinfh]

The fact that Trix said that two of the three parties were making big strides (presumably Bale and RM) and suggested Levy was being his usual difficult self really makes me doubt those reports

 

[GMI]

Been hitting this all day. It’s been a blast.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Fingers crossed for no games from Madrid, but after they scuppered the China move it wouldn't surprise me. Surely they can't afford to mess up another move however.

 

[arunspurs]

I can’t believe we will finally have a player who can take corners and free kicks again.

Free kicks yes - dont see Bale taking corners. He has become far more potent in heading the ball in
