Anyone remember that Bale chap?

Any club would give a player who's cost as much, or half as much, maybe even quarter as much, as Bale a season at the very least to settle in even if they wern't producing their best form.

But this is Real Madrid we're talking about. The way I see it Bale has 2 or 3 more games to turn it around otherwise he'll be cast on to the bench where he'll be given the odd 10 or 20 miniutes to turn it around. If he doesn't manager too after a few sub apperances, he'll be cast into the reserves and never heard of again. Just like Kaka.

Welcome to Real Madrid. They'll love you if your expensive and glamarous but if you don't hit it off straight away your despised and hated. Fickle bunch of idiots.

I have a few Madridians in the family and knowing them as I do this read is pretty close to how it'll pan out for him I think. They are not a patience bunch.

I know it is very early days but in my opinion this move was always going to fail. I still can't really blame him for wanting the move for reasons that have been done to death on here, but even if he performs to a high level that will not sate the horde. They'll want better. Relative to his price tag he will always come up short and it is probably just a matter of time before the crowd turn on him.

He needs a few monster performances quickly to sway the tide of public opinion and buy himself the odd off game. His few short appearancse to date have been disastrous. Injury and fitness are probably partly to blame. It's hard to tell who is telling the truth with the whole back injury thing but it does buy him a little more time at the very least.
 
I hope the rumours aren't true. Whatever anyone thinks about what transpired over the summer, he had his head turn and I blame his agent for a lot of that greed.

However he still provided us with some amazing memories and its not often we can say we had a world class player in our ranks. He also helped fund most of our purchases this summer.

If RM do dump him expect him to find his way back to the EPL- United could do a lot worse as could Emirates Marketing Project.

I agree. As far as Madrid is concerned, Ha ha ha - caveat emptor and all that. If you act like ****s, you deserve everything you get.

As for Bale, I am grateful for all the memories and the new team he largely funded. I would hate it if he turned up in the EPL for one of our rivals. Absolutely hate it. I can see him going to Liverscum in a swop for Suarez. That would not be good news for us.
 
What amazes me is how players of his physique are allowed to drive such absurd sports cars which absolutely compromise their posture. Laugh all ya want, but if I was paying someone 200k a week or whatever, I would absolutely demand that every angle of this nature be thoroughly researched. It'd be the same as cramming him into a coach seat to fly long distance; you wouldn't do it. It all adds up...

Or at least insist that he has one of these

Absolutely. Wasn't one type of Ferrari banned by clubs when it's offset pedals were found to give players "Ferrari knee" ?

There's a campaign against Bale and Real Madrid, says Perez

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has voiced his anger with the way Gareth Bale has been treated since his world-record move from Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

A number of Spanish media outlets have been critical of the Welshman's fitness, with several reports earlier this week even suggesting Bale could face months on the sidelines, with conflicting stories claiming he had either a hernia or slipped disk.

Madrid quickly dismissed suggestions that the 24-year-old has a serious back problem, though, and Perez has now hit out at the press for the way they have reported on the €100 million (£86m) man in recent weeks.

"Certain media outlets surpass what criticism is. It's a permanent campaign. ;The information published about Bale is extremely cruel, even if it was true. Being false, it becomes clear that they have a target," Perez told Punto Pelota.

"Should Bale have a slipped disk, we would have told the media so. We would never ;have signed him if that was the case.

"Here in Madrid, you know the press try not to appear as Madridistas. News like the report about Bale would never have been published in Barcelona, being false as it is.

"There's a campaign against myself and others at Madrid."

Bale has made three official appearances for Madrid since his move from Tottenham Hotspur.

Very funny. After using the Spanish media to force us to sell Bale, now Real are fighting the same media instead.:ross:

Barca banned players from driving sports cars. Guardiola told Ibrahimavic that Barca players are not showbiz egotistical idiots, they do not drive sports cars and flaunt their wealth and fame and get in the papers...

So Ibra got a sports car.

“At Barca, players were banned from driving their sports cars to training. I thought this was ridiculous – it was no one’s business what car I drive – so in April, before a match with Almeria, I drove my Ferrari Enzo to work. It caused a scene.”

Gareth Bale reports are personal - Perez


Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has accused Marca of deliberately targeting him personally with its “totally false” claim that Gareth Bale was signed injured and will need an operation to fix a slipped disk in his back.

Marca reported last weekend that the former Tottenham player has a slipped disk in his back -- which Perez knew about before the summer’s 100 million euro world-record transfer went through. The Estadio Santiago Bernabeu club responded with a strongly worded denial, while the club’s chief of medical services admitted Bale had a slight back problem, but it was nowhere near as serious as was being made out.

On Monday, Bale continued his 'mini preseason' programme, which includes double daily sessions and aims to have the Wales captain ready for Madrid’s upcoming Champions League double-header against Juventus and La Liga Clasico against Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

And later that evening Perez told TV talk show Punta Pelota that Marca’s "cruel" and story had no basis in reality.

"It is hard to understand such a cruel report," Perez said. "Above all, because it is not true. I was very surprised. It was the first I heard of this. It is totally false."

The Blancos chief also claimed to be surprised that a paper with Marca’s reputation for serious journalism went ahead with the story, when both the club and Bale’s representatives had denied the claims.

"It is very shocking that a paper that has always been known for serious and correct information, now says something which is not true, and does not tell what they were told by Madrid’s medical services and by Bale’s people," he said.


Perez, who is increasingly being criticised in Spain amid claims he his hiding the true size of Madrid’s debts, said the idea that he would sign a player he knew to be injured was particularly hard to take.

"They told me that Bale was fit, after the medical, and I went to the presentation," he said. "In the information published they wanted to say that I, despite having the information that he had a problem, wanted to keep going with [the transfer]. They have wanted to charge me with a responsibility that I do not have because nobody told me that the player was not fit. They tried to involve me in this type of set-up, with a bad intention. Either they have hit a goal right in the top corner, or they are trying to foist on us something which does not fit with our history or the prestige of our institution."

Perez echoed the opinion of Madrid’s medical chief that a ‘protrusion’ or ‘disc bulge’ in a player’s spinal column would not necessarily hamper their performances.

"I heard the word 'protrusion' for the first time last Saturday,” he added. "It is something relatively normal in an elite footballer, say almost all the doctors who have spoken on this. If there is no pain, you do not need to intervene. The doctors did not have to advise me of anything. They showed me today the X-Ray and it was fine."

Marca backed up its claim the injury was more serious on Monday with quotes from doctor Avelino Parajon who said the big-money transfer looked a mistake, however Perez said he had spoken with Parajon and there had been a misunderstanding.

"All the doctors have left it clear that a protrusion is not as serious as was published," he said. "The only doctor who has said anything different is Avelino Parajon, and I myself spoke with him today and he told me he did not want to say what they say he said."

Such scurrilous reports could damage Bale’s value to sponsors and commercial partners, Perez complained.

"All this affects the image, the dignity and the financial performance of Bale," he said. "The player and his camp are concerned because this can affect their contracts and campaigns. They have said that he had a slipped disk when he does not have it. The legal people are studying what we can do."
