Bale is getting paid an absolute fortune, so cannot really feel sorry for him. £600 grand a week for playing football, why would anybody feel sorry for a player earning that much?

600 k a week id be grateful to earn 600 quid a week.

Bale is so well paid he has a replica of a very famous island style golf hole in his garden...

Who on earth would want to give up the best part of 100m in wages?

It's Bogarde but on a much grander scale.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He's not giving it up is he. He wouldn't be playing for free elsewhere. He has 3 years left at the top. He's goes somewhere else he gets 250k per year. Just go and play football whilst you can.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* per week
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Still 50m worse off over 3 years.

Madrid will end up paying him a huge chunk of his remaining contract to leave.

Seen a lot of these comments from Poch lately, confirming that he has little say in transfers, guess after the Janssen and Ninja boys not surprised

That's not what he means at all

To be fair to Bale, he never said that about being happy to play out his contract on the golf course. It was a concocted twitter rumour.

Jonathan Barnett - Bale's agent is an ass hole he engineered Bale's move to Real Yobbos now he is bleating because they no longer want his client - calling Zidane a disgrace is not going to help Bale's cause !!

Barnett looks like an East End mobster out of a Guy Ritchie flick.

That aside, and I fully understand why the British media and (most) Spurs fans to side with Bale, he and his agent are hardly blameless for the souring of relationships.
