Before his pay rise at Madrid £300k p/w for 8739 minutes: £5,356 p/min

Before his pay rise at Madrid £300k p/w for 8739 minutes: £5,356 p/min
Since his pay rise to £350k p/w for 2497 minutes: £14,578 p/min
And that's just what he's putting in his pocket. Madrid are actually paying roughly double that,
Per minute he's surely the world's most expensive player this side of Wheelchair.
Lamela, meanwhile has cost us £65k p/w for 4.5 years and 7200 minutes: £2113 p/min.
And that is why we shouldn’t want him back. If he took a drop to half his salary we would still be staring at a £7000 a minute sicknote every few weeks.
Those were the figures The Guardian and The Sun ran with after he renewed a year ago aren't they? The Mail's were similar but slightly less, something like £320k p/w.Before his pay rise at Madrid £300k p/w for 8739 minutes: £5,356 p/min

So, we can afford 3 1/2 Lamelas for the price of a cut-rate-just-to-do-us-a-favour Bale.
I need more time to prepare figures for players who are healthy...some cunt keeps handing them new deals all the time.
The anti-Luke Shaw then.
A massively overhyped event. Wasn't upset about it then, less so now that we've been proved to have mugged Madrid. We were ALWAYS going to sell Bale with a world record fee on offer - his not playing was more to do with not wanting him to do a hamstring and blow up the deal than his trying to force a move. Where would be if he had played and wrecked his legs, Madrid went away and we were stuck with his fragility? Much happier the way things turned out.
That's a post-tax figure as well, as I understand it. Totally unrealistic that glass man returns to pocket, at best, 1/4 of his Madrid wages.
