I saw in one of the papers this morning that gareth bale was worth 50 million, how obscene is that?
I know it's not the players fault and sure it's newspapers trying to sell a story but we do know the transfer market has gone crazy and something needs to be done.
when you consider all the suffering that goes on in this country and around the world with poverty, starvation, people losing their jobs and homes, it really is stuffing it into the faces of those less fortunate. just think of what could be done with that wealth, new hospitals, improving sanitation, so that everybody could have clean drinking water, haven't we a right to that?
maybe players could refuse to go, until a sensible and realistic figure is reached, maybe it could be written into the contract that three quarters of the fee go to a charity, maybe it's time for the government to step in but will they?
society and the human race have a lot to answer for with their greed and destructive behaviour, trampling everything under foot.
it really does disgust me!

Sure Bale is in good form and has two very good performances in high profile matches but come on it's all a bit over the top.
The best thing to come out of Balemania is being able to goad all the Spuds you know with "He'll be gone in the summer etc" Just say that and retreat 10 paces, do not return to Spud once goaded just wait for the fireworks!!
about , in my book since cheating git Henry & Van Nistle Boy was here it hasn't been as good.
Football is in a perilious state in this country , the bubble has burst for some , and i'm sure it won't be long before more Clubs who have been living beyond their means go down the pan.
And yes £50 mill for Bale ( A Left Back ) is a joke.
I'm not trying to have a dig at anyone or pass a judgement but I if you think about it for very long any industrialised western lifestyle looks pretty obscene when held up against the conditions the poorest people in the world live in. If we all as individuals club together we'd have far more spending power than any football club or even any sport as an entity (that sounds horribly hippyish).
Sad but true, Exiled. It's just a matter of degree and what is relative.
A pint of pissy lager costs £3.50 ..... the price of one single pint would feed a family for a day in some parts of Africa or India.
Buying a ticket for a football match, cost of getting there and a few beers would feed that hungry family for a month.
In the West we have a different idea of what is necessity and what is luxury, many of us don't want to give u our 'essential' mobile, flat screen TVs and computers but to others these are an extravagance they will never have.
i can't stand when people like Bono tell me to donate my cash to the cause when he could single handedly cancel the third world debt.
As much as I hate to quote the bible - Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.
