I do think Bale is world class, and so yeah would expect a huge fee for him, but highest fee ever ?? Strange one for me, but if he goes and proves to have a great few years at Madrid, who will argue with it ?
Good points Scott!

Yeah, I agree, we'll only know if the fee was right in a few years from now. Like you say it is hard to imagine that he should be the most expensive player of all time. If a 24yo Zidane was being sold in today's market then sure, but at this moment in time I find it hard to see that Bale will reach such a level.
