Real Madrid may have 'committed an error' in signing Gareth Bale for a world record fee of £86million from Spurs, according to a leading Spanish doctor. While Real deny the Wales international needs surgery for a back problem, the club admitted Bale 'has a small chronic disc protrusion, which is extremely common among football players and that does not in any case [affect them in] the normal course of their duties.' Injuries have restricted Bale, who had no pre-season action while he was with Spurs, to 132 minutes at Real - 106 in La Liga and 26 in the Champions League, scoring one goal. Dr Avelino Parajon told MARCA: "If Real Madrid have signed Gareth Bale knowing about this protrusion, they have committed an error. That is not to say that tomorrow it can be operated on and he can continue playing, like has happened many times. But if he already has problems with protruding discs, that indicates that it is not a one-off. Madrid are hoping the good doctor has got his diagnosis wrong, but at the moment, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is sitting back, quite happy with himself Check out this effort from halfway.
