Gareth Bale

wages £300K per week!!!! Basically disgusting.

Mental wage image his tax bill!!! Spain won't need a bail out now
 

Gareth Bale

after tax £160K

Imagine how much the insurance on him is as an added extra... Wales can forget him playing for them ever again in friendlies!! Or dead rubber qualifying games!!!

he was getting just about that at Spurs tbh.. not much difference
 

Gareth Bale

Will they hire him out at the Madrid premier of the next Battle of the Apes
 

Gareth Bale

By the time he makes his debut in a fortnight he will ahve earnt more than most on here will earn in the next ten years and that is without even playing for his club!

Speak for yourself!!!!!!! ( my lottery numbers will be coming up next week) !!!

My sister who is a highly qualified nurse specialising in respiratory conditions earns £20 per hour. Something is very wrong in this world of ours.

Thats just how the world is, and has been for a very long time. You can substitute footballers for F1 drivers, NBA players, pop stars, Hollywood actors. Those at the top of their games keep their massive billion dollar industries ticking over.
 

Gareth Bale

I know. Isn't right though.

No it isnt, but its nothing new. It doesnt bother me, as if it wasnt footballers it will be someone else being paid astronomical amounts as they fill up newspapers,advertise products, and sell TV subscriptions/seats at the cinema
 

Gareth Bale

Do you really think that nurses should get paid £400k a year and that footballers should get £20 a week?
 

Gareth Bale

it's tedious all this abt nurses and soldiers wages..maybe if they had mega millions in sponsorship they wd be paid more and with training anyone can do the job unlike being a footballer

Steve Claridge offers his thoughts from Bale's early years http://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/oct/17/southampton

"A lot has been made of Bale because he is so young but what must be remembered is he is a left-back, not another Ryan Giggs. Even at this early age I'm not sure he's the type of player who has the ability going forward to be a worldbeater, but he's on the path to being a fantastic defender. Because he is left-footed he has a great advantage. He is going to have a long and successful career sticking to what he can rather than what he cannot do."

Southampton apparently swapped their 25% sell on clause from the Gareth Bale deal for Tommy Forecast back in 08 lol

Would have got around £21m

Weather or not they could predict if Forecast would make it or not is up for debate.

Serves them right for knocking all those businesses when they've gone bust in the past.

Southampton sold their sell-on for £3m - not heard about Tommy Forecast.

got both and if they hadnt had sold for £3m they may not have been around today so it was a brilliant decision in my opcinion
 

Gareth Bale

Agreed. I think the whopping fee for Bale has clouded our judgement here. Sorry to rain on the orginal posters parade. Didnt Hull & Sunderland diddle us out of funds from a sell-on? Lightening does strike twice.

Makes you wonder why Coleman left him out of two matches because he "wasn't fit". Christ.
 

Gareth Bale

good for him.I didn't like him at spurs but it's great to see a brit trying his hand abroad

:confused: he played half an hour when you got smashed by those Serbian powerhouses? Not matchfit :)
 

Gareth Bale

up to his old tricks tonight, shocking dive to get a penalty tonight :nono::nono::nono::nono:

As diving goes that was top draw.
Not quite a perfect 10, but would have got Tom Daley in the medal positions.

The bit that made me feel like throwing my cocoa at the telly was he tried to claim he was hard done by.

Crazy game too, could have been 10-7.
 

Gareth Bale

..............on the scoresheet with a regulation 5-0 away win...........
 

Gareth Bale

Very nice goal for Wales tonight just before being subbed.
Shoved off the ball in his own half but stayed on his feet to reach the ball take it on and run into the oppos box and then he buried it.

If it had been Leo Messi then it would be shown over and over.
 

Gareth Bale

Heard this on the radio about how great a goal it was .. then saw it. Have to admit I was a bit underwhelmed with it ... Barcelona were forcing the game, everyone up front, all Bale did was beat one person, although he did run a long way with the ball, but not the great a goal in my view ... for £80M, I'd expect him to have done a cartwheel whilst doing his long mazy run with the ball, before scoring !
 

Gareth Bale

Thought it was a decent goal myself. Long run including going the long way round his man. After all that it would have been easier to lay it off to the free man on the edge of the 6yd box, but he showed great composure.

It'll soon be forgotten but the fact it was the winning goal in a cup final against their fierce rivals, gives it added value

This tweet proves Adrian Durham knows **** all!!

I honestly believe this will turn Bale from being a very good player to a world class player. He needed to prove it in a big game despite scoring 20 goals in his first season. Have seen the goal this morning - it was good not great IMO. However, to score the winner against your biggest rivals in a cup final will prove the catalyst in his career.

I thought the rules were if you left the pitch you had to ask the refs permission to come back on lollol

I really didn't think Bale was a great player. I was wrong.

2nd best player in the world at the mo in my opinion.

Ronaldo
Bale
Ibhrahimovic
Di Maria
Messi

Is how I see it at the moment!
 

Gareth Bale

I agree. I thought his final year at Spurs was a one hit wonder, but he is now a hell of a player since joining Madrid.

For example the shot he had in the last minute against Bosnia that was saved was unbelieveable!
 

Gareth Bale

Tickets for Wales v Cyprus were on general sale from only £20. Next game away to
Belgium in
November.
 

Gareth Bale

He is also prepared to turn up for internationals unlike Ryan Giggs who did very little for his national side. To think that Harry Redknapp was prepared to offload him from Spurs, says it all.
