We need to do a reveal of Fatty.

Elias Elias you do documentaries. Make. It. Happen.

Imagine after all of this, Fatty ends up turning up for that tee time. That'd be God level trolling x1000.
Yeah - rather than heading into the Amazonian cloud forest in search of a lost pre-Inca civilisation, this feels more like the tabloids indulging in Spontaneous Human Combustion level idiocy.

I respect Fattynomates Fattynomates creativity and sense of mischief.

But seriously this story only went mainstream because the likes of the Daily Fail reward young freelancers with a few quid for filing a story that will generate mega-clicks. Any meaningful editorial scrutiny would have revealed this as a lark in moments.

Instead, the Mail etc are indulging footie fans' obsessive stereotyping of Gareth Bale as a guy who prefers whacking a golf ball to hitting a screamer into the top left-hand corner. And I'll absolutely luv it when Bale smashes the ball into the Woolwich net and we have fans in the stadium to salute him.
 

I think we should try and make the most of this and get the Fighting cock some publicity? Would be nice if they report it all started from here?
The gift that keeps giving!
 
Agreed but I assume Real would have contact with Bale's agent around any potential interested at the year mark before exercising any break option (if mutual). Obviously they wouldn't take him back if no interest and have this play out all over again.

I'm just answering the question you posed.

Can RM cancel the loan midway through year 1? You can write anything into the terms of a deal, so potentially yes, but I wouldn't expect us to concede to such a clause.

Sounds very much like we have a get out at the 1 year mark if all goes tits up,whilst 2 years would be cracking if he does succeed on his return. Ideal!

Well that's what I've expected and hoped for all along.... That'd certainly the best (lowest risk) deal for us and if we wanted him for a 3rd year he'd then finally be out of contract and that could be a fresh negotiation directly between him & us.
 
I do feel a bit sorry for Regulion , his transfer is totally overshadowed by Bale, and typical Levy making them share a plane to save on a few quid, i bet half the reporters taking pictures of Bale arriving will just think Reguilon is his Caddy or something! :pochlol:
 
He is a Gestifute client indeed.

If we get him, we'll trigger that Gedson clause for certain.

Would be exciting for sure though. Heard he's been a bit less good than last year but anyone actually watch Benfica games?

What clause? .....You understand there to be some kind of actual obligation to buy Gedson for the looney sum of 50m?

Not seen anything to suggest it was anything but an option to buy....
 
Wouldn't have it any other way (except maybe the spitting and hair pulling), that was the point.

In eastern traditions, we are said to be bound to Samsara (cyclicality of all life), to free ourselves from this we must release our materialistic bondage, then we may reach Moksha.

This is brilliantly described by the monks, who spend days upon days creating beautiful rice art, only to destroy it as soon as it's finished.

Could be the best thing for him, comes in with little fanfare and gets to settle in without outside pressure. And I'm sure he's used to being overshadowed coming through Madrid set up with all the big names they've had over the years
