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.
Re: Bale hits back at media.
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
Re: Bale hits back at media.
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.
Re: Bale hits back at media.
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.

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.

He's been out injured for a lot of that time plus covid plus spent a year at spurs.
All these things add up.
Are you saying he would have not have got injured if he moved clubs?
If so can you give me the lottery numbers as well please.
If you remember he was injured and on the bench a lot for spurs last year as well so that didn't work out well either.
Love how you can say that he should have moved when he's on £600 grand a week there.
Would you move if you was on that position?

I’m not saying whether he would have been injured or not had he moved. Why say that when it’s not been mentioned by me at any stage? It’s clear Madrid have wanted him out. Yes he is on huge money but I’m not sure I would want to stay somewhere I wasn’t wanted. I would like to have seen him move to somewhere he would have been more appreciated and played more.

Apart from his bank balance.
Not his fault they gave hima massi e contract then decided they wanted him out.
The way they have been trying to drive him out has been disgraceful.
The guy has won trophy after trophy for them including match winning champions league winners and he's called a parasite?
They should be ashamed of themselves.
If Bale was Spanish do you think they would be this harsh on him?
No
They think he should not give a sh#t because he plays for poor little Wales.
You never know he might have scored goals for them this year if they actually picked him.

You would walk way from that contract?
Don't think so.
Where exactly should he have moved to?

Bale loves coming back to play with his mates, Giggs mates were the Man Utd team. He wasn’t really interested in playing for wales.
Bale should just quit Madrid I reckon, been there for 9 years, more money than he could ever have dreamt of, won everything. Just tell them, rip up my contract, I’ve had enough…..something a footballer rarely has done.

Yeah ur right. But this isn't a good situation is it. This isn't what suits him or Real. This isn't hwo you would want Ramsey's or Joe Allen's or any other footballers career to end up as?
He needs to get out of there. Should have years ago. It's good it hasn't affected his Wales form but that doesn't change that he clearly doesn't seem happy and hes not playing football weekly which is a tragedy

If I felt I wasn’t wanted or respected yes I would.There is more to life than money.He will have earns multi millions anyway.
As for another club that’s a pretty daft question. He could have gone anywhere from the PL to China and earnt plenty.

He seems happy enough with the situation last night.
I love how some on here think that he should move when all along he has said he's going nowhere.
He has never given any sign in his body language that it has affected him in any way.
He takes all their crap in his stride.

And?
Does anybody in football walk away from a
massive contract?
If so give me an example?
