I don't get this sympathy for Bale, seems like a petulant prick to me. Would you be happy and support Sanchez if he'd decided to milk us for every penny while refusing to play and showing the kind of disrespect for the club that Bale is doing?
Think both sides have acted poorly. Hate the Madrid fans demanding world class performances week in week out and disrespect for players. Have been players far better than Bale treated like turd by Madrid fans.
Also dont think the club have been supportive of him and they are right in being wrong not letting him move to China, economically and for the fact they had such an expensive footballer they were not playing often at all.
But the other side of the coin, Bale has done little off the pitch to endear himself. How many years has he been there now without learning the language? If these reports are correct, to say you dont want to travel is totally unprofessional.
Whole thing stinks all round
