Re: Gareth Bale Transfer Saga V.2

Bale isn't marketable currently, however he has the potential to be if he joins.

by teamanarchy Tue Aug 27, 2013 12:56 pm

I gotta study now...
I trust Perez to make this a good "off-the-pitch" deal.
He's done it before and will do it again...
However, the proof is in the pudding, and until Bale actually signs and spends time there to actually show his marketability, nothing can be proved. I'll pick up this discussion again at that point.

Also, Fear not Cyberman, United is still our favorite feeder club... You haven't been forgotten.
(I'm assuming that's what is really agitating... Deep down)

halamadrid2 wrote:@ the badger. Perez is a self made billionaire and saved us from potentially going into bankruptcy. He knows how to make money be it for Madrid or himself. Bale is going to be a 'risk' because if he flops he has nothing to fall back on. And its a risk perez is willing to take
Perez's business acumen that has seen him become wealthy is irrelevant. His approach to football is mind-boggling. His ego and delusions has seen him employ a policy of paying excessive fees for players whether the club needs them or not. This has often come at the detriment of team harmony and has seen players become disillusioned due to simply not being big names or having the right face for his project; Makalele for example. Not signing Viera due to high wages is another.

RM fans may overlook the lack of success he's actually brought on the pitch and highlight his Galatico purchase and rattle on about marketing, but for all the money he has spent RM have massively underachieved with him.

you will never see a fan trying to explain that appalling football sense he has. back in the day Valdano said after asking Perez to make a startling line up for Madrid he had Beckham as a RB because he had too many attacking players

fact of the matter he shouldn't get invloved in the football business because lasy time he did he pissed off nearly the whole team with his presence (under vdb). he has been pretty distant these past few years and has added players of the coaches choice

as you might remember we finished our transfer businesses before the preseason started so that it gives carlo enough time to integrate them. He has spent the rest of the time to pursue bale who will probably play sparingly like neymar until he becomes fully integrated as we are not exactly desperately in need of him atm

he is improving slowly and slowly. The only way madrid fans will accept this transfer is if he was bought to displace Benz and not Ozil who is important to us. we will have to wait and see what they have in mind for him

Perez will inevitably get involved with the footballing side because that's the nature of footballing politics at clubs like RM.

Real Madrid logic: Don't achieve your tournament goal - go buy at least one star player to please your fans.

Watch him score 100 goal and surpass this midget that plays for Barcelona.

I would more trust Perez than anyone here when it comes to number crunching. Not that I doubt anyone here intelligence but you lovely gents are not currently the President of Real Madrid.

Speaking of which, Perez's football acumen is quite limited hence me doubting the hell out of this potential transfer. Too much tactical conundrums to point out and I've yet to see if Bale can handle the psychological pressure of being the most expensive footballer ever. With that being said, before Perez, the club had Lorenzo Sanz and Mendoza, both were in charge during our more successful years, both knew football and how to create proper footballing teams. They both also ran the club into the proverbial ground financially, more so Sanz than Mendoza.

Perez is pretty clueless when it comes to football but he knows how to keep the club financially sound. Hence why I think most "sensible" Real Madrid fans aren't too phased by the price but the more the sense in how the football would be affected.

According to Di Marzio, Real Madrid and Spurs have closed the deal for 87 millions euros

lololololololol price keeps going down, still bad, but good grace, it;s a lot better than 100 millions lmao

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Aug 27, 2013 11:55 pm

Well done you overpaid by 40m instead of 50m.

Perez should be given great praise for negotiating this bargain of a deal.

What a mastermind.

by Mr Nick09 Tue Aug 27, 2013 11:56 pm

please go mole, 87 millions is better than fcking 100 millions. perez Proud

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Aug 27, 2013 11:58 pm

That is less than CR's fee, CR clearly threw a tantrum lmao.

by Tomwin Lannister Tue Aug 27, 2013 11:58 pm

Gianluca Di Marzio ‏@dimarzio
Now it's really closed: Gareth #Bale from @SpursOfficial to @realmadrid for £75M. Let's wait official confirms. #footballtransfers

by LeSwagg James Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:09 am

Still an absolute disgrace of a transfer fee

by Onyx Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:22 am

£75m isn't 100m, so it doesn't sound too bad. But it's still a bit too much.

What does bale think hes going to do to justify this? score every game? that's a lot of pressure, anything less than world class every game = flop/waste of money
