Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

[Deleted member 27995]

Without it, the windows would be rather boring.

What non Bale rumors would make the window boring would it?

I keep insisting this is never going to happen. The financials are too complex. Then, last night, pissed up and bored, I crunched the financials. Bare with me now:

Bale has two and a half years left on his contract. He is paid 600,000 pound/euros (too pissed to check) a week, which after tax comes to approximately 350,000 pounds.

Bale earns 350,000 a week. So he stands to receive 45.5 million pounds in that time.

600,000 x 130 (weeks) = 78 million pounds

Bale earns 350,000 a week. So he stands to receive 45.5 million pounds in that time. But Real have to fork out 78 million.

That’s a lot of money for a player they don’t want.

They might as well give him away in the hope they clear the 78 million it’s going to cost them to keep him there.

So, imagine we strike a deal where we take Bale gratis.

We pay him the same as Kane: approximately 200,000 a week for two and a half years.

200,000 x 130 = 26 million.

Then we pay Bale 20-25 million signing on fee. After tax, he might be down some, but he’s back in the game at a club he has mutual affection for with a manager he’s thrived under. Maybe it could happen?

But probably not

Have you sent this over to our dearly beloved leader yet?

Bale never played under Mourinho.

Quick bit of advice - if you ever set up your own business, hire an accountant.

Interesting, thanks. Wish you could sort your bares from your bears though - a repetitive error!

 

[Metalhead]

Bale is clearly not coming back so I guess it's down to the other two in Piatek and Jose.

No idea why we do it to ourselves.

Agreed - I hope that these are the main focus.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Have you sent this over to our dearly beloved leader yet?

Indeed. Got this response just this morning.

 

[Deleted member 27995]

Agreed - I hope that these are the main focus.

They probably are the focus, but that almost means nothing. It's radio silence.

Season is a write off.

Who cares- let the truthful numbers dazzle you

Definitely - it's just about (hopefully) seeing the club progress - there are small signs of it happening. Jose seems quite relaxed in the press conferences - even dealing with the continuing Rose and Eriksen questions in a measured way.

I'll believe it when I see it after Friday night.

Oh well, carry on then.

 

[mansfield]

Oh it's clearly on!

Those who say it doesn't fit with the clubs recruitment policy are way off as it strengthens our vision of building the most injury-prone team in world.

ITKs are regarded well and in high esteem by a lot of people and rightly so. They share info about the club we otherwise wouldn't get.

My issue is when they start to use their standing to get their own feelings and opinion across too and people buy into it as if its not opinion but fact.

That's what it feels like Gards does to me. He clearly has issues with the club or with Levy.

im pretty sure his twitter account is for his own personal use and not exclusively for ITK so if he wants to say how he feels, then that’s up to him and not for you to judge.

[THFCSPURS19]

You really really don’t know that.

Erm yeah I do.

 

[aliyid]

Gards generally always delivers negative ITK doesnt he? I cant remember the last time he said anything positive about the club.

Not ITK bashing here by the way just stating a fact.

There’s a fine line between “negative ITK” and “accurate ITK”.

 

[morriss]

Erm yeah I do.

What empirical, statistical evidence do you have that substantiates your claim?
