Let's not waste money and time with this guy. We need to be looking for players who can play a major part for the next 5 years....not just 1.
NahA lot of posters here are jumping the gun with regards to Bale here, my guess is that Real are letting Bale go for free to China, whereas if a European top club were in for him then they wouldn't get that luxury (tabloids reckon they still wanted €60-80m for him).
This is basically Real Madrid forcing a player out, but not wanting him to go anywhere where he could come back to bite them on the arse.
Also the fact he's getting 1m a week is basically Bale's signing on bonus included into the salary.
I've said before that Bale has lost his motivation, with that I agree with you 100% but those criticising him for moving to China are the same ones criticising him for wanting to stay in Madrid (no doubt his preference).Nah
It's not all that difficult. Bale is at a stage where football isn't all that important. He makes an obscene amount of money, he's won the biggest trophies, his family is happy in Spain and he's content with life (and why shouldn't he be). He doesn't have the motivation needed to go to another big club in Europe and prove himself. He can sod off to China, even higher wages for a few more years while he maintains a decent level and then he can retire.
Not sure why people view Bale differently from other players, most would do the same without hesitation.
And Real Madrid are obviously more than happy to help him out the door to a country and a club that is irrelevant.
That game must have made him incredibly happy inside, seeing Zidane being totally humiliated.
It's become some kind of unofficial fact that the club was obsessed with signing him when they really weren't. Just trying to correct thatNot sure that makes a difference.
We won't.Let's not waste money and time with this guy. We need to be looking for players who can play a major part for the next 5 years....not just 1.
It’s more in Bale’s hands than Real’s. He can straight up reject moving to China or MLS or that type of clubs. Then Real have the option to keep him for 3 years and pay astronomical wages or let him on the cheap. Even on free if he’s to play golf for 3 years they still won’t pay him tens of millions each year.Fact is Real want him out, and want him to go to China, do you think Real would let Bale go to Man Utd or Bayern for free?
He used to have desire, I think those days are gone if he is off to China at 30 years oldI never wanted him here our injury record is already sketchy at best, but no one can question his "desire" he has proved himself on the big stage.
Maybe he is thinking for his future now.
He is retiring himself. So much for his desire and passion and nonsense.I never wanted him here our injury record is already sketchy at best, but no one can question his "desire" he has proved himself on the big stage.

But even then theres sections of people criticising him when it was suggested he was going to stay and pick up a pay cheque at Real for playing golf!It’s more in Bale’s hands than Real’s.

FIVE times that in China. Cant blame him really and most of us would do the same in our field of work if the offer came up to earn 5 times our salary by going to China. Good luck to him. Hope Real regret it!I can’t understand why he is so greedy - it’s not like if he dropped his wages down to £200k a week he is going to be on the breadline - fair enough he is taking a significant drop in salary but he seems to have given up any desire then to achieve by rejecting the opportunity to stay in Europe and maybe prove a point to Madrid?
The fact he is going to China tells everyone now that he’s just doing a Tevez - quite sad....
Maybe he thinks he has already achieved everything he could at club level (well thanks to Ronaldo), individually there's no way he could get Ballon D'or or finished top scorer anyway, and at 30, maybe he think its time to focus on earning more for another 5 years or so.I can’t understand why he is so greedy - it’s not like if he dropped his wages down to £200k a week he is going to be on the breadline - fair enough he is taking a significant drop in salary but he seems to have given up any desire then to achieve by rejecting the opportunity to stay in Europe and maybe prove a point to Madrid?

Why would he care about proving anything to Madrid (or anyone else for that matter?). He's in his 30s with a wife and 3 kids, hopefully he is above bothering about the opinion of fairweather Madrid fans.I can’t understand why he is so greedy - it’s not like if he dropped his wages down to £200k a week he is going to be on the breadline - fair enough he is taking a significant drop in salary but he seems to have given up any desire then to achieve by rejecting the opportunity to stay in Europe and maybe prove a point to Madrid?

All well and good. But he’s just gone to play in a conference league just so he can buy his own jet. I’m not sure that was his career goals at 30 regardless what he’s achieved so far. He’s far from finished, he’s just a greedy sh!t.Why would he care about proving anything to Madrid (or anyone else for that matter?).

As far as proving something to himself, he's had a better career than 99.999% of players ever. Football is a job at the end of the day, he'd be the biggest moron in the sport if he threw away £400K a week to play for some shit european side.
I think you might have convinced me in the end. There really isn't much else for him to do is there?Why would he care about proving anything to Madrid (or anyone else for that matter?).

Having loved Bale due to his time at Spurs, this makes me feel quite sad, at what point does the money satisfy him?Tweet

Are we? You have to factor in Bale is already earning a fortune, money that he could never probabaly spend, moving for even more money he cant spend to a shite league... what for? Id say his passion for the gae is gone. Look at Ronaldo, could have easily got a move to China but chose to stay at a top Europeon league.People here are kidding themselves if they think they wouldn’t do what Bale is doing.
Let's say he was willing to take a £20 million hit to move to a club in Europe. Which sides that could give him more trophies would be interested? I honestly don't think many. Maybe Bayern?All well and good. But he’s just gone to play in a conference league just so he can buy his own jet. I’m not sure that was his career goals at 30 regardless what he’s achieved so far.

Considering the standards, of football in China I cant buy it, the facilities, the pitches, the coaching the officials is all pretty terrible, a recent report highlighted all this but I cant find it now.Let's say he was willing to take a £20 million hit to move to a club in Europe. Which sides that could give him more trophies would be interested? I honestly don't think many. Maybe Bayern?
Would he have taken a 60odd percent pay cut to move to Juventus? That's what people seem to want Bale to do.Are we?

And outside it seems.That game must have made him incredibly happy inside, seeing Zidane being totally humiliated.
I doubt Bale is much interested in culture, he was in Spain for 6 years and still didnt learn the language.I know from moving to Japan that living in a completely different culture is exciting. He gets paid shit loads to do it as well.
Unless he wants a Serie A medal which is ridiculous by the sound if it. He’s already won the CL four times. Better off heading to China to enjoy his semi retirement and playing golfWould he have taken a 60odd percent pay cut to move to Juventus? That's what people seem to want Bale to do.
I dont want him to do anything, its his own life, I can just give my opinion. The sad thing is, in a few years, he will be an afterthought to many football fans IMO.Would he have taken a 60odd percent pay cut to move to Juventus? That's what people seem to want Bale to do.
Do you think Ronaldo would be taken a £400k a week pay cut to move to Juventus?I dont want him to do anything, its his own life, I can just give my opinion. The sad thing is, in a few years, he will be an afterthought to many football fans IMO.
I dont see what it has to do with anything but no i dont, he isn't and never has been anywhere close to Ronadlo's level. It probably backs up my view that money has ruined him and he can't see past the doller, again i dont hate him for it, if anything I find it quite sad for me personally.Do you think Ronaldo would be taken a £400k a week pay cut to move to Juventus?
