TIBS EXCLUSIVE – Matt Le Tissier: “£300,000 per week in wages is obscene.”

Good luck to Bale at Real Madrid but £300,000 per week wages is obscene!

Gareth Bale has become the world’s most expensive player at Real Madrid and good luck to him.

But the £300,000 per week wages it’s reported the Spanish team will be paying their £85.3 million player seems an obscene amount of money to me.

No-one is worth that sort of money, not even Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, who can virtually guarantee you a goal a game.

I’ve always said that a footballer is only ever worth what someone is willing to pay for him.

But in the real world is Gareth Bale really worth three hundred grand a week?

And if he gets that sort of money every superstar player will want the same.

There is already talk about Ronaldo and his people having the hump because Bale has now eclipsed the £80 million Real paid Manchester United in 2009.

Deary me-who gives a damn who the most expensive player in the world is?

Who is that vein or that sad to worry about believing they are the most important person in the whole world?

I hope this is not a true story because it just drives me crazy sometimes.

I never came into professional football to make myself incredibly rich.

I went into it because I loved the game and I loved entertaining people.
