Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in...
... and then they tear your guts on, and stomp on them in front of you while you bleed out. COYS!

Yes, almost double. He is on a ludicrous 350k p/w.If we loaned him and paid 100% of his wages would we really be smashing our wage structure? It's his Madrid contract after all. He's gonna be making more than all of our players regardless of who foots the bill.
The question is can we afford to chuck a load of money into a short term deal with no resale? I'd say with our rapid increases in turnover it may be the best time for an opportunity like this.

Been contact with Bale!
GB wants (ideally) to come back to us.
Don’t destroy me but I’m a contrarian on Bale’s return.
I loved him at Spurs and he gave me some of my greatest moments watching Spurs (and I saw my first game in August 1961) but I’d rather have the memories than be disappointed watching Bale as he now is.
And I’d rather the club built for the future than looked to the past.

Aren't the reported wages he is on a whopping £600k a week ? Or is that reputed figure a whopper in itself, and over inflated by real amount £250k a week ?You were missing my point. Regardless of how much we would be contributing, he's still going to get paid his £350k. I'm not sure our wage limit is as relevant in a loan deal. In the unlikely event that this deal happened I think it'd be treated as an extraordinary circumstance.
Is this part of our Amazon Prime package?

Either way, unless Real massively subsidise his wages I just can't see Levy offering that kind of money, yes there may have been contact I'm prepared to believe that, but this will surely be the bit that leads to it getting nowhere near off the ground if Real refuse to massively subsidise...
Why? Even if this is indeed a loan deal, his wages wouldn’t suddenly become untaxable.£600K per week is before the Spanish Tax, which would give him roughly £350K after tax which is the number we should be focusing on.
I mean... he is the person in charge...
Took me a while to get that, but would strengthen the “special relationship”.Levy finally found naming rights deal. Get Bale on loan and play at the Real Madrid stadium until he leaves. Finances sorted
Why? Even if this is indeed a loan deal, his wages wouldn’t suddenly become untaxable.
In keeping with the general spirit of this thread I thought I’d be the first to say how damn foolish and shortsighted it was of Levy not to build a golf course outside the new stadium.
FFS Levy!
