Anyone remember that Bale chap?

I think our lads should be watching Atletico and seeing what happens when you put in the work. Obviously they are, but Atletico really are the model that we should be admiring.

Atletico are everything that is wrong with football. Club in a huge debt happily being used as a shop window by super agent Mendes. Absolutely disgusting that a club is allowing itself to be run by an agent for his benefit.

Your having a laugh if you think any club in the world would sell a player for 80 odd million and insert a buyback clause for half the price! I agree that eventually he will be driven out the door when the latest fashionable player comes a long but think that'll be in a few seasons yet and that £40m wouldn't even come close.

Besides, even if we could get him for £40m his wages mean there's no chance we could ever afford him till he's in his 30's.

Well dont forget im sure Real already made more than their money back with the Bale merchandising etc. Now do I believe we will have nserted a clause? perhaps - for half? no... BUT its fantasy on there.

He will definitely be driven out the door not because he is mentally weak but because he will have won everything and will get fed up with the crap and brick that they give him... Manure will definitely offer more but like I say there are times when other clubs have offered us more and we took the lesser value for tactical reasoning.

Talking more about the football mate. The workrate they put in is second to none.
 
    • Gareth Bale should be dropped, say 46.1 per cent of fans polled

    A staggering 32.2 per cent of Real Madrid fans would drop three-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, according to apoll in Spanish newspaper AS.

    On a weekend that saw Real Madrid lose their grasp on top spot in La Liga for the first time time since November, fans of the Spanish giants have had their say on the team's current predicament.

    Supporters were first posed a question regarding formation, and an incredible 92.1 per cent of fans called for Carlo Ancelotti to ditch his current tactics and revert to a 4-4-2 formation.

    That would mean one of Madrid's impressive front three, the so-called 'BBC' of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, would need to make way.

    In the poll, Bale, who has been jeered on a couple of occasions despite his impressive start in the Spanish capital, was top of the pile, while Ronaldo was second.
Benzema, therefore, has proven to be the most popular member of Madrid's frontline; a stat which will surprise many given Ronaldo's previous success at the club.

Bale picked up a worrying 46.1 per cent of the votes, while Ronaldo would be dropped by 32.2 per cent of supporters.

Surely he just meant the way they play? Real Madrid are hardly saints, but some people admire the way they play.

The same Ronaldo who's averaging more than a goal per game in his 283 games for the club, including 39 goals in 37 games this season. The 2013 and 2014 Ballon d'or winner.

There are no words to describe the incredible stupidity of these 32,2 percent of the "supporters".

The way they got themselves into debt can of course be questioned. But the job Simeone is doing right now with a very limited budget seems very good to me.

Where they are now (debt, second tier tv-deal etc) they have to look for whatever value they can find. They got a couple of excellent years out of Falcao for example, it's hard to say that this is wrong.

It's morally wrong letting themselves be used as a shop window by a super agent who controls most of the big transfers in football.

And long term how are they going to build a team when they don't own these players they have.

Also they still have to pay wages to the players Mendes has parked there. Wages they can't afford.
 
Ronaldo did not look happy at all tonight. He could be the next out of the door and if that happens Bale stays for at least another season.
 
how many has bale made, how many has bale saved, Ronaldo has spent the last 6 months swanning around in the opposition half pretending they have a 3 man advantage

Ronaldo has more goals than passes this season

Just how many of their players are owned by Mendes/agents?

It's a lot easier to monetize success than mid table mediocrity.

Depending on the Wage / Turnover with the Champions League money they are getting year on year / the increased crowds / increased merchandising and increased sponsorship - just no money on player sales (most don't)
 
He ran the 2nd most of the Madrid players lastnight, 11.5kms, Ronaldo 8kms, then he gets this

Gareth Bale is being jeered by Real Madrid’s own fans because they don’t believe he is showing enough commitment.
