What that got to do with ole? Your post was about whether ole can get away with something similar to what zidane said.
Gareth Bale vs Madrid
- Thread starter El Jefe
- Start date
Oh I forgot what I wrote
Nevertheless. No amount of cout entitles you to treating your employees like that, period.
Who are we kidding here? Madrid was actively negotiating Bale's exit with his entourage and a Chinese club. At the time, Zidane was asked a question in the press conference and replied: "It's nothing personal. The club is negotiating with whom he is going to play for. If he leaves tomorrow it would be best for everyone."Oh I forgot what I wrote

What's wrong with the response? I genuinely don't understand. And I certainly don't understand the outrage. People are getting emotional over nothing.
I mean, it's bad form. That was an unfortunate answer
That said, Bale started a third of our league games. He was a starter at the beginning of the season. He didn't lose his spot because Zidane doesn't like him, he lost his spot because he was terrible, and Isco, Vinicius and Rodrygo outperformed him when called upon
Again, the player who didn't get a fair chance was James, not Bale. Bale isn't playing because he's not shown he deserves to

I know he has achieved pretty much everything he could and is never going to be poor in his lifetime but no matter how he might feel now about how he has been behaving in Real the past couple of years i feel he will look back on this with regrets .
One thing footballers always say when they are retired is no matter what they achieved or how many games they played they always wish they had played more and its the one thing they miss being out there in a proper match .
Bale has wasted a lot of time he will never get back and will be remembered for that which is never nice

Real treated him like shit and he is responding in kind. This will end up the Bogarde way unless Real swallowed their pride and release him on a free
Well done Gareth another medal for the wiki entry.
All a bit pointless, is he even joining in the celebrations. Must've been an unused sub for pretty much all their games since season restarted.
Another trophy for Gareth Bale.

Article in the Athletic on Bale, seems Zidane and him hate each other. Crazy to think he's been there seven years and won the lot yet will not be remembered as a great.
Yeah it is a good point.
cringe.
Earned hundreds of millions, won every trophy he could ever hope to win, doesn't give a feck.
I honestly dont think Bale cares.
This is nothing more than a job for him. He's probably wishing for it to be over,not the weekly wage granted,so he can spend long days on the golf course. Which I think is his main interest now.
Most sensible guy in that lot. Respecting social distance as much as possible in such a situation.
Gareth Bale was set to walk out of Real Madrid and play in China until Los Blancos were humbled 7-3 by Atletico a year ago. Now he is UNSELLABLE and the cash-strapped champions can do nothing about it
It’s one year exactly since Real Madrid changed their mind about allowing Gareth Bale to join Jiangsu Suning. The Spanish club rue the decision more than ever in the current financial crisis and are increasingly resigned to it costing them right up until the end of Bale's contract in 2022.
‘If Gareth Bale can leave tomorrow then even better,' Zinedine Zidane had previously said in July 2019. He was told Bale’s move to China was imminent and would be waved through by the club's board.
Tomorrow never came. Real Madrid were beaten in New Jersey, by Atletico Madrid 7-3, in what was the first ever Madrid derby to be played outside of Europe. It was an embarrassing scoreline and it played a part in the change of heart.
That result, plus a belief that other players such as James Rodriguez could be sold for big fees meant that the Spanish club blocked Bale’s move on what would have amounted to a free transfer.
Zidane’s future also looked fragile at the time and the possibility that he would be replaced by a more Bale-friendly coach who could get the best out of the forward also encouraged Madrid president Florentino Perez to hold on to his asset.
As Toni Kroos admitted in an interview this week, the effect on Bale was anything but positive. He told the podcast Lauschangriff: 'I think he originally wanted to leave last summer and that the club said yes to it and then they said no. I don't know if he's still a little upset about it.’
Bale had originally been reluctant to make the move. But he had come around to the idea of being the marquee signing not just for a club but for the entire Chinese Super League and he was ready to pack his bags.
They were matching his €17m net Real Madrid salary. That money, doubled if tax payable by the club is added to it, is what Madrid will have to keep paying Bale until 2022.
The decision to make him stay could end up costing them €100m taking into account last season and the two he still has on his contract, although the figure is liable to fluctuate according to pay cuts agreed by the squad.
Real Madrid players accepted a 10 per cent cut after last season was interrupted because of coronavirus and another agreed cut could be forthcoming.
There are currently no plans for any talks between the club and Bale’s representatives. They see no reason to sit down with Madrid while the player has two more seasons left to run on his deal.
The losses anticipated from Real Madrid having to play six games behind closed doors last season, and close their stadium to tourists from March has drastically affected the financial plans. There are no immediate plans for next season to start with supporters inside stadiums either and so Madrid could accept Bale leaving on a free.
The problem now is the lack of suitors able to pay his wages. Changes in the laws governing what clubs can pay players has made China a far less attractive destination.
And no one in the Premier League, where Bale has never shown any desire to return even when Manchester United wanted him, is willing to match his Madrid salary.
Bale ought to be in the group of players that travels to Manchester for the Champions League last-16 second leg but he is unlikely to be involved in the game.
Last season started well for him as the injury to Zidane favourite Marco Asensio meant he started six of the first eight games with two goals and two assists.
But he was used increasingly less as the season progressed and as Zidane picks his team to face City he has Eden Hazard, Vinicius, Rodrygo Goes, Asensio, Lucas Vazquez and Isco all vying for the two spots in the team either side of Karim Benzema.
Bale believes he has next to no chance of being picked ahead of those six.

What loan options can Madrid explore?
If a club is willing to pay part of his wage, Madrid can at least reduce their expenses and there is a higher chance that a permanent deal could be agreed in the future.

I think part of the problem for them there is that Bale actually likes living in Madrid, so chances are he's not going to accept a short-term loan to somewhere less fanciful to live. The permanent transfer with even higher wages on a long contract like the China opportunity would be much more appealing to him than a load of upheaval for 9 months somewhere random.
Would not mind a loan deal. His experience could be valuable in the CL in particular.
