Yes they stopped the move on that occasion. It doesn’t mean they would do so if the opportunity arose again. I suspect they regret pulling the plug on the deal.Quote:

Most of the players who went there came back after their contracts ran out because the wages were no longer there.
The point is that it's not always a simple manner of saying he should move.
It's way more complicated than that.
On that I can agree. Part of the problem was not only the size of the contract but the length of it too and that was down to Madrid’s stupidity.Quote:

I played it back many times. It was great to see. Seeing him on the bench for so much of the past four years is such a waste.
Brilliant goal that one but that was a younger fitter Bale.Quote:

Some of said that he doesn't need the money which is true but you can see he loves his family and is doing what he can to see that his kids grandkids and great grandkids are set for life.
We ( myself and my fellow football coach ) were discussing this on the drive to training tonight, Bale shouldnt ( and doesn't ) need to prove anything to RM ( because he has done it all in the past ) he wasn't treated well after the China transfer feel through and it was made clear to him that he wasn't wanted by RM, since then Bale hasnt covered himself in glory with the way he has acted, but lets be honest, who can blame him, told he has no future at the club, why wouldn't you play the game and see your contract out while playing golf and loving every moment with your mates playing for your country, over 1/2 mill a week in wages, yes of course he can afford to tear the contract up and I was all for that a year ago, but now its in the final year, he might aswell stay fit to play for Wales and watch them 1/2 mill's roll in every week
Discussed In he car tonight, that in my fellow coaches top 10 goals of all timeQuote:

If we get to the WC finals, and it turns out to be his swan song, then so be it.
I regard him in the same way as i did Maradona. Not ability wise, but someone who was so passionate about playing for their country, and sometimes single handedly drove the team on, but was never ever conceited about it.
