Ha ha ha. Yeah, because that's what I said.
Your position, as far as I can tell, is that footballers should disregard their contract if the club they signed for informs them that they are no longer in their plans. They should just walk away and get paid less somewhere else. A footballer who does this is 'professional' and is deserving of 'respect.' I pointed out that if this actually happened, if all football players had that mentality, then the club would hold all the cards, knowing that the player would always concede to their request at any point in their contract. This would make the original contract - a document both club and player signed to protect themselves - redundant. I never said anything about the stance Bale was making: you rather clumsily put those words in my mouth.
I have no respect for a footballer who is already loaded, who sits on his arse for 500k pw when he could likely get half that, or more, for playing football.
Seeing as the point was mainly about Bale, yes you did make a point about him.
And the notion that any one of these people in Bale's position give a flying shit about making a stand for other footballers vs their clubs, is utterly ridiculous.
So your point has no merit whatsoever.
No I didn't. Again, for the hard of reading: no I didn't. My point was aimed at the generalisation you made about footballers who don't want to take a drop in earnings when their club breaks the contract they both signed. Although at least you've now narrowed it down to footballers on 500k a week, because there's fucking loads of them about isn't there?
It's really a tough call. Get paid the €30m a year that he's owed to live in Madrid and play golf or take a 60% pay cut so he can get yelled at by Jose Mourinho or something.If playing football is meaningless to you, & making money is your reason for living then yes.
I don't have a great deal of respect for rich footballers who prefer making outragous amounts of money & not playing football, rather than just making stupid money & still playing football, personally.
They are not footballers.

I'm on Bale's side here (although I wouldnt want him purely based on age / cost).
Real Madrid get players like Bale (who was seriously coveted at the time) BECAUSE they offer 500k a week wages.
Then they decide that they want rid and so treat him like shit in the hope that he'll fuck off.
He hasn't, and so they're saddled with paying him the promise of salary that allowed them to convince him in the first place.
Well that's just tough shit.
Do you think we should go for Bale?I don't see that there are good 'sides' in it.
Real Madrid are a bunch of cunts, Bale is happy to earn money for fuck all & has no desire to do what he is supposed to love doing.
They deserve each other.
