Gareth Bale

[MarsLlama]

If you can easily make £250m in 5 years, you can dedicate the rest of your life to changing the world for the better.

Anyone criticising him for moving for that money is short sighted. I feel sorry for your lack of imagination. Winning a few baubles is meaningless compared to the opportunity he's been offered there.

Yeah because that's his plan. Devoting the rest of his life to philanthropy. THAT'S why he's going to China.

What a naîve thing to say...

 

[Divino da Guia]

Watching him running with the ball against Atletico, not even the kids in his team can follow him. What an animal. Skills and power. Injury free he would have been top three in the world all those years.

Can't make him go though. He is on a whopper of a deal that no one will match. They could look to pay him off and let him walk away but he doesnt have to accept it - if he genuenly wants to live in his nice house with his golf course in his back garden picking up his £2m a month then they can't stop him.

If they pay him off they are basically massively subsidising his move to a rival. That is just rank bad management.

This will not end well for Zidane / Real Madrid.

What i don't understand is Bale got this new deal while Zidane was manager. What changed in the space of the year between them?

 

[Kennedy_probably_has]

Probably easier if you're already earning over £30m a week and have been for 6 years.

£30m a week?

 

[malg]

Greed.

 

[Barcon]

Couldn't give a shit where he goes as long as it's not to us. He could go to the MLS and be the best player in the league (if he is ever fit enough to play).

 

[sir baconface]

Off to a sweet and sour life of curried dog, chicken balls, second rate football and billions of Yuan.

 

[I'm Blue]

Jammy bastard.

 

[waspish]

Something very fishy about this?!! Madrid didnt want an injury prone 90 odd million pound wages to pay up goes for nowt to china 1 million a week! Be shocked if bale be still in china this time next year.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Real Madrid have cancelled the deal.
