Greedy poomplex.

Don't blame him, I'd be all over that.

I say this of all talented players who leave Europe in their prime (perhaps with prejudice): What a waste.

 

[Twizzle]

old news

 

[tommyt]

Seems he's being forced out of Real Madrid and he's gonna be an idol in the Chinese League.

Madness.

What a waste

Pure greed. How much money does one need?

Sad end to his career. He's (not even?) 30 and he's earned more than he'll ever need. Why not take a cut and be remembered for glory at another leading club? Says a lot about his character. I hate Ronaldo but you can't accuse him of taking the easy choice.

If this is where he goes. Then I don't blame him following the money. He clearly doesn't have the same motivation for football he once had, and no matter what club he turns up for next, they'll be getting a player who'd prefer to be somewhere else.

 

[Henry Percy]

I agree with others. For me personally I'd rather play a few more years at a top club in Europe for less money. Then in mid 30s go to China or MLS for the experience not the cash.

Just got back from a festival of Rag n Bone man and the idles. Ffing brill night. I read this and I can only conclude that Gareth Bale is the biggest feckin **** face in the world. I hope I never hear his name again . I repeat Gareth you are a ****.

Other than the money there is no reason to go to China. This is far too early in his career for this, I and it seems many will have lost a lot of respect for him if this is true.

 

[Metalhead]

I can't believe it - just when it seemed that we were on the verge of securing his triumphant return - that's a blow and no mistake guvnor.

 

[Japhet]

Absolute bottle job if he goes there. Had a chance to make a statement and have a bit of self self respect but chose a payoff instead and let RM off the hook. Hasn't done it yet so there's still some hope. I never thought (or particularly wanted) him to come back to us but he's running away if he takes this route.

 

[SteveH]

So he’s basically retiring!
What a waste.
Money is crazy mind

Running away from what though, he's already achieved everything he needs to achieve, you don't get much better than winning 4 x CL's...doesn't matter who you are of you feel you've achieved everything at the top level of there's a million pound a week contract on the table you're gonna seriously consider it, I understand him signing it.
