Can’t knock Bale either way. Whatever way people try and paint it effectively comes down to moving home and the benefits that brings for him and his family V moving abroad and the benefits that brings for him and his family.

Everything else is just noise and I think he will be in the same position now as he was a week ago in weighing that up. Abbandanato etc don’t really have much of a clue so just chuck out a couple of articles to cover a few bases etc of its all in the balance but if Bale hasn’t decided then no one will know. Just a waiting game really and can’t blame him whichever way he goes.
