Gareth Bale completed his move to Real Madrid from

Tottenham Hotspur, for a fee Spurs but not Real Madrid

insisted broke Cristiano Ronaldos world record. While,
According to Tottenham, they had been paid 100m for
Bale 86m sources in Spain described the fee as 90m,
or 78m. The record, before, was the 80m (94m) that
Real Madrid paid Manchester United for Ronaldo in 2009.
After weeks of negotiations, the 24-year-old winger, the
winner of the Professional Footballers Association Player
of the Year and Football Writers Association Footballer of
the Year for his remarkable 2012-13 season, moved to
Real Madrid, signing a six- year contract.
The former Spurs forward joined Cristiano Ronaldo and
Lionel Messi on FIFAs final shortlist of 23 for the Ballon
dOr but is struggling to show he belongs in their league
after six weeks blighted by injury and being played out of
position. A series of niggles - and no real pre-season - has
left Bale short of his best so far.
Bale was handed a start in the false No.9 position against
Barcelona in Saturday's El Classico but was largely
ineffective and was hauled off in the second half. Carlo
Ancelotti has called for patience as Real Madrid fans wait
to see the best of Gareth Bale following his recordbreaking summer move to the Bernabeu. Bale has yet to
set the La Liga alight following his 100m (86m) transfer
from Tottenham and, with the Wales forward battling to
return to full fitness, he has also still to complete a whole
match for his new club.
Gareth Bale has the backing of Carlo Ancelotti to shine at
Real Madrid. Its true that in the last few games he has
not done anything extra-ordinary but he is a player who
needs time to adapt, said the Italian coach. Cesc Fabregas
has also backed Bale to shine at Santiago Bernabeu &
asked for little time to let him set at Madrid. There is no
doubt about Bales ability but 100m price tag will surely
have some psychological effect. Pressure is mounting on
Gareth Bale to perform & show why he is worth 100m.
There have been suggestions that Madrid president
Florentino Perez could cut his losses and let Bale go to
recoup some of the cash they spent next year. Reports in
Spain are suggesting that Manchester United are ready to
pounce in if Gareth Bale fails to settle down at Madrid.

Time will prove if Bales move to Madrid was a Mistake or

not, whether Bale will move to Manchester United or not.
There is a saying - NEVER SAY NEVER!!!
