Yeah very true, and would certainly offset potential future contract drop.You also have to remember agents get a cut of every signing on bonus aswell.
There's plenty of reason to have players moving every couple of years if they could engineer it. Like ive said Bale is as much to blame as anyone else for the situation he finds himself in, and if he'd have played for chelsea instead of us no one on here would give a shit.
The main frustration for me (and yes of course an element of it having been the fact he played for us), is the feeling it’s a real waste not getting to see such a talented player who should really be in his prime, playing week in week out. A real shame to hear that he’s been a key factor in that!
Have to take the spurs tinted glasses off though, when you look at form/fitness etc for the last few years, and the costs involved (not that it’s remotely possible anyway) - I’m definitely against the idea of him coming back, like you say, no one would give a s*** if he’d played for another club and we were moving in.
