Bale looks like the kind of guy who can't and doesn't truly want to make friends with his co-workers. A professional.
And the £200k wages . Unless Madrid wants to subsidize the rest via loan, and hence also not get any transfer fee for him....Ibra ?
He's been dreadfully treated by Real Madrid. That seems fairly clear.Bale looks like the kind of guy who can't and doesn't truly want to make friends with his co-workers. A professional.

It is weird considering that Spanish people (in fact add there Portuguese and S. Americans) are some of the friendliest people I have known in my life. No idea how Bale has managed to be friendless in Spain.Says a lot when after he scored Madrid's first goal today in the Arsenal friendly, only one teammate came over to congratulate him. Also read somewhere that he once threw a party and the only teammate to show up was Modric. Must suck to be such an outcast. While Valencia might have never bothered to learn English, at least he had Spanish speaking pals like Mata, Herrera and De Gea.
Just turned 30 and off to China? Bodes well with his competitive spirit shown in the last months. Should've taken a pay cut and do that pension move 3-4 years away from now..BBC reporting off to China on a 3 year deal. Very surprised by that but I guess at least he will be getting games and not just sitting there taking the money to play golf. Presumably no more competitive teams were in for him so he has made the best of a bad situation, will be interesting to see if this plus the injury issues in their squad cause Real to get serious about Pogba now.
TBH playing in China is no different than playing golf..I can only assume that even at a pay cut there were no clubs in for him that he or Real would consider. I am sure he would have taken a pay cut to go to somewhere like Bayern or even PSG but the whispers for a while have been that nobody in Europe wanted him and I guess this confirms it. Shame really because he definitely is good enough to play at the top level for a couple more years but Zidane has made it clear he has no future in Madrid so if China is the only alternative I guess he had to take it.
I kind of agree, as a Welshman I am gutted to see him wasting his talent in a Sunday League competition but he is out of a toxic environment and for the first time in at least 2 years going somewhere he is wanted so that is probably too good to turn down in the absence of serious offers in Europe. That is a few hundred grand off the payroll in Madrid and presumably a transfer fee received as well, I bet Raiola is licking his lips and we will soon find out how much influence Zidane has over transfer policy.TBH playing in China is no different than playing golf..
He will be making more than Messi...What a waste.
It's all his own fault. If he wanted to take a pay cut to a more meagre salary say, £250,00 a week, he could move to another top European club and see out his career at the top, instead he's going to choose money and toss it off in a joke league.
What a waste.
Don't think he had any offers in Europe even close to that though, it was what he wanted but every potential suitor made it clear they didn't want him at any salary. He bears some blame but the Madrid fans and media did such an effective smear job over the last 2 years that they ended up well and truly devaluing him to any potential buyers.What a waste.

So what?He will be making more than Messi...
Raiola will be licking his lips. That's mind boggling sums that have been tossed around.I kind of agree, as a Welshman I am gutted to see him wasting his talent in a Sunday League competition but he is out of a toxic environment and for the first time in at least 2 years going somewhere he is wanted so that is probably too good to turn down in the absence of serious offers in Europe.

Still can’t fathom taking his family to China. Think i’d rather sit it out at RM and get the odd takeaway delivered.I said it ages ago, Bale couldn't be less bothered with football at this stage of his life
United wanted him 2 times.He is seriously moving to China at 30?
The idiot should have accepted one of the numerous offers we threw at him over the years
Not sure that makes a difference.United wanted him 2 times.
This is spot on. Just realized the club he is joining is owned by the same people as Inter and their season ends in December. He can have it both ways, pick up a million a week in China and get some top level football in Italy in the spring just like Beckham did after joining LA galaxy.Will be on loan to Inter within 6 months
Bale might not want to take a pay cut though. I think Bale just wants to stay fit for Wales which he can do in China or Madrid, collect his money he is owed and not fight hard in the Premier League for the top 6 rat race.Bale is would solve our right winger issue immediately as long as there is no health issue. He still hav 2-3 years of high level football. I would open a discussion with Real if I am Ed. No harm looking at the financial implications.
No but he might get his Champions League, Copa del Rey, La Liga medals out and compare.So what?
When he looks back on his footballing career is he going to get his old bank statements out and compare them to the other top players of his era?

Won everything he could win, still plays his best for his international team, he clearly cares about football.Going to China at 30 years old. This guy don't care about football.
Will be on loan to Inter within 6 months
