Non-news story on the Beeb today about him being rested for a CL game. Has anything actually changed with him?
True, why is this a conversation? Madrid arent selling a starter in Jan.Neither Bale nor James will be available till next summer as Zidane needs both of them for his team.
When's the last time you watched him? He's looked tragically bad the last few times I've seen him. Clearly he's not in the ideal environment but I see little evidence he'd lift a team like ours. Elite sport is decided on fine margins and once you lose that extra few % of drive, even a top player can suddenly become a very average player.Still a very talented gem of a player
Last league game? Thought he was pretty good?When's the last time you watched him? He's looked tragically bad the last few times I've seen him. Clearly he's not in the ideal environment but I see little evidence he'd lift a team like ours.

Yeah no.We need him.
Surely that isn't a real quote!quote from his agent:
“It is said that he likes golf more than football, and it is true that he does not live the profession with the intensity of others, either on or off the pitch.”
Nuff said.
It's notSurely that isn't a real quote!
It's not
And this "he's angry and wants to leave now" story is obviously made up bs from as
No-one in their right mind is seriously talking about Zlatan.Bale in January is better than Zlatan
Looked bad last year, but Bale is really showing up again this season.When's the last time you watched him? He's looked tragically bad the last few times I've seen him.
only €500k to Spain though - cheapskateGareth Bale donates 500k to NHS and also 500k to the Spanish equivalent. What a fantastic gesture, class act.

Aye classy, good to see Bale take it upon himself to act. Everyone else sitting around and waiting for some vague program.there was lots of press over the PL players setting up this programme to give money to the NHS, not seen anything tangible come from it.
Same. Respect should go both ways. Get those hankys out wa***rs!Honestly respect for him goes up more each time I see him totally rinsing the absolute piss out of Real. He's won it all and is taking every penny he can from them.
He got criticised for being injured a lot, being on high wages and being a player the manager doesn't want, none of which he is under much control of.How can anyone respect a player that does that?
I understand people that dislike Madrid finding it funny but surely nobody can respect this? He's completely shitting on his teammates and manager's work because the media and fans criticized him. How is that fair for his own team?
Besides, most of the criticism he got was more than justified regardeless of the big goals he's scored.
That's how I understood it. The issue isn't that they don't want him anymore, it's that they tried to make him forfeit what they contractually how him and never really tried to muster a deal that would see him get his money with an other big club. I'm sure that United, Juventus or even PSG would have been happy to purchase Bale, if Madrid were asking for a fee that allows these clubs to pay Bale the money that Real Madrid owes him. But they tried to "win" and lost everything.He got criticised for being injured a lot, being on high wages and being a player the manager doesn't want, none of which he is under much control of.
He was going to leave for free to China last year after being disrespected publicly by Zidane, but then Real suddenly wanted a big fee at the last minute, again, nothing Bale could do there?
He's been painted as a pantomime villain and he's just playing the part.
I'm sure if we wanted €50m for Sanchez and criticised him publicly while refusing to let him leave for a more sensible fee then he'd be acting up too (Bale has achieved so much more for Real too).
Point is Real soured the relationship, you can't expect to be respected when you're constantly shitting on someone.
A side note, Bale has clearly lost his passion for football.
Hes a big headed prick IMOHow can anyone respect a player that does that?

For laughing when his team is winning?Some hypocrites in here, if Sanchez was doing stuff like this at United there would be outrage. Dress it up anyway you want but it's unprofessional. I felt sorry for Bale a few years ago but not anymore, he's a disgrace.
What exactly is unprofessional? He is ready to play, hasn't missed training and is respecting his contract. It's not his fault if Real Madrid want to sell him, don't want to us him and haven't found someone that is willing to match what they want and what Bale is currently owed.Some hypocrites in here, if Sanchez was doing stuff like this at United there would be outrage. Dress it up anyway you want but it's unprofessional. I felt sorry for Bale a few years ago but not anymore, he's a disgrace.
Bullshit, he's a professional footballer and he's dug his heel's in to stay and acting like this. Yeah Real are awful and it's there mistake for giving a long contract. That said, you can't say he's not been taking the piss. His attitude is awful, Wales-Golf-Madrid flags. He's a joke and gets special treatment from some. You can't defend this nonsense. Proper what aboutery in here, but what about Real and how..... He deserves criticism, bottom line!For laughing when his team is winning?
The reason Sanchez doesn't do that is because as a club treated him fairly and gave him an option to leave on loan even and make it permanent.
Don't feel sorry for RM, their treatment of him is the real disgrace here, not him.
He was having a laugh, he wasn’t sleepingHow can anyone respect a player that does that?

Completely different scenarios. Sanchez isn't doing any of what Bale is because he hasn't been shat on by the club.Some hypocrites in here, if Sanchez was doing stuff like this at United there would be outrage. Dress it up anyway you want but it's unprofessional. I felt sorry for Bale a few years ago but not anymore, he's a disgrace.
