People may laugh at me for saying this, possibly even say I'm crazy but - I'm reading this evening that Real Madrid are ready to write-off any transfer fee for Gareth Bale, just to get his salary off the wage bill (£25m per annum) .

How refreshing would it be in today's game if Bale was to resign for Southampton, become a true club legend and return back to where it all started for remainder of his 4/ 5 years at the top level? God knows he surely doesn't need the money - If (and it's a huge huge if) something like that happened, it would hopefully make today's sports stars realise that maybe, just maybe there is more to life than money. And for one re-energise my love for the beautiful game!

Ben
I usually like reading your posts :-)
I am guessing you are either suffering from heat stroke . or one too many wines out in the sun :-) ) )
While players like Austin and Forster are happy to take (rob) their wages without caring whether they play, the likes of Mr Bale will never give up his money for a return to Saints (sadly)
The days of MLT are long gone .

Shame though, would have been the best left-field football story since a certain Kevin Keegan arrived all those years ago.
