Gareth Bale

So, in another field, Jimi Hendrix would be happy touring as Kylie Minogue's guitarist provided it was good money ?

Jimi Hendrix spent most of his career as a session musician.

Seriously?

No soul?

Because I think that other people might have fair and understandable reasons for making a different decision to the one I would make, that I'm unaware of?

People with talent, who chase money first, lack soul yes.

And all of you who support this, should also support any City players who fancy fucking off elsewhere for the money.

Because none of them have any other chance of making as much of it, as Gareth Bale, unless they do so.

Jimmy Hendrix was a session musician, BEFORE he was known.

Afterwards, he became dead.

That was in his way UP. What a strange post.

Real should have jet him go to China, nobody outside that country will pay him what he wants in wages.... Therefore he will just continue to collect his wages until Zidane is fucked off in the middle of next season and hope the next sacrificial lamb likes him...Horrible club who think everyone else should dance to their tune....!

Does playing golf improve your looks then?

Zinedine Zidane has warned Bale of his responsibilities after he was pictured playing Golf whilst Real Madrid played Tottenham.

The same Zidane who doesn't want him at the club.

Too right. Those boots won’t wash themselves.

Interesting: so where do you draw the line between pursuing money and 'soul'? How much is enough? Like, if we take it to an extreme, should Jimi Hendrix have played for free to everyone or did charging for tickets make him soulless?

Bale's priorities might be different to yours and mine and I don't think that necessarily means he's a bad person, someone with no 'soul'. I might say I'd make a different decision myself but if money is what motivates him then have at it.

To believe that a person with different motivations is inherently malign, I'd have to be so narrow minded that I'd be more concerned about my own 'soul' than anything else. Something I've also noticed is that twice now you've responded by taking my point an imaginary step further than what I said then attacking that straw man point that I never made.

This makes me feel like your goal is more to get a sense of 'winning' a conversation than just casually exchanging views. Creates the perception that you're an angry person Neville.
