He looks shorter than all of those guys. Football Manager has him at 168cm which is more like 5 ft 6, seems about right imo.
Yet premierleague.com have him at 178cms or 5ft 10. Who knows which is right!

Sadly, I think that money is more important to him than football. He has already earned more than he (and his kids) will ever be able to spend, so he could comfortably go to a club that would pay him only £250000 a week if playing football was what mattered.
adjective
- of less than the highest standard or quality.
"suboptimal working conditions"
Forget it. Bale is done as a professional footballer. He'll see out his contract at RM and then he'll retire. He's nowhere near as good as he was when he played for us now, and would likely be half-hearted or injured playing for us anyway. Would be a huge hassle and a massive disappointment.Sadly, I think that money is more important to him than football.

Yeah exactly. Playing a right footed centre back at left back would be 'less than the highest standard or quality'. Thanks for confirming my point.
I endorse this. Same with Arsenal and their now immoral wage structure. It's in place to explicitly make it hard for teams like us to compete for talent. Love it when it backfires.Fuck em, They go around chucking stupid money at players inflating costs for everybody.
Clubs should keep them eating his wages until the end of his contract.
Zlatan! OMG, OMG, OMG.........lol..Dragon 1 again on COYS
We have tried many times for bale his agent is very difficult , he is on 550-600k a week with a year left and madrid want a large chunk of his salary taken care of next season
Kane and Tanguy on 200 a week are our biggest earners by a long way ,in the current Climate no way we are paying 300 a week plus
someone has to take bale this summer though so will see what happens
also
I don’t see zlatan happening at all , I know a couple of strikers we are looking at , I can tell you now the striker deals we are looking at are £10-20 million with wages in the 50-100k a week bracket
The only problem with your point isn't the vocabulary used but rather that it is predicated on guesswork tainted by pessimism.
I have seen nothing to suggest that Jose would choose as his left back a young, right footed centre back with a handful of senior games under his belt ahead of a marginally younger left footed left back.
Sure, Dennis Cirkin is even less experienced in senior football than the inexperienced Japhet Tanganga. But Cirkin is infinitely more experienced at left back. Jose isn't an idiot.
Even betterPretty sure bale has 2 years left
Well he's already played tanganga at left back and has a history of playing defenders at full back on their wrong side. Given he hasn't selected Cirkin to play one minute in the first team, I don't think it's an outlandish assumption that he would select Tanganga there. My overall point though is that if Hercules is right and Jose's happy with his options at left back, I think that's a mistake.
All ITK seems to be clear on one thing - Jose is well aware of our weaknesses, and appears to be insistent that they are addressed, now.

You think lamela is 30millSeems like we’re in a sell to buy situation. Luckily we seem to have some decent prospects from sale at a decent price in KWP, Aurier, Foyth, Lamela. Could be about 60m right there. Plus Vertonghen’s decently high wages off the book.
If I’m JM, I’m looking at Lamela as the best option to offload to get one of my targets in.
