Re: Bale hits back at media.

Much as I love Bale I do think it’s clear that Wales are his priority. The problem is he is paid handsomely by Madrid. It’s in stark contrast to Giggs who always seemed to put his club first.

I think the language they use is important but let's be honest, it's not hard to see why Real Madrid fans are pissed off. We would be too.

He should have left years ago. This isn't good for him on any level

Is the bloke who drew up the Madrid contract getting any stick?

He should do. No one doubts legally Bale is well within his rights. But that doesn't mean this is the best use of his extraordinary talent in a career that is very time limited.

Agreed. He needed to leave three years ago. It’s been a waste since then.

Couldn’t give a stuff about Man Utd or Madrid. All I care about are Reading and Wales. So from my perspective I’m fine with Bale putting Wales first. If I was a Madrid fan I would be feeling very differently.

Has the inactivity lengthened his career? Would he still be a force for Wales had he’d been worked to death at somewhere like Villa, Man U, Southampton etc? Even three years ago I don’t think he’d have fitted in at the top clubs such as Man City, Liverpool where he would have experienced much needed rotation.

I thought half the problem is that they don’t pick him. Stuff them.

Very difficult to know. I just think he needed to leave Madrid before it became this toxic.

Why?

Re: Bale hits back at media.

I think he’s been treated like a dog by real Madrid....i love watching him screw them for every penny because that's where it hurts them Spanish cnuts.

Re: Bale hits back at media.

Why?

He has played so little at club level in that time. It’s a short career. He could have achieved more by going elsewhere.

He looked happy enough last night.
