Marca apparently saying it’s only €425k (£380k) a week.

If that’s true I’m glad we didn’t go for him, dude has checked out mentally.

Just shows it’s all about the money for him.

Really sad reflection on Bale. Going to a pathetic league just for the cash, it’s clearly all he cares about.

He might not have had a choice...what if they were the only club who had a bid accepted?!
Stay at a club where he’s hated or move to the only club who can afford him?

I knew we were never going to sign him. But when he left, it always felt he was going to come back at some point. Now he’s off to China at 30 so obviously we’ll never sign him. Actually makes me sad that that player in 2013, banging in goals week in, week out would turn out like this

Can't say he ruined his career for taking a big last pay day at 30, but in the same token he probably ruined his legacy for taking a big pay day at 30 in China.

You're right, because evidently he had a whole load of other options presented to him

He has won everything though...

I suspect its £1m before tax

Id accept 1m a year let alone a week. These are extraordinary and absurd numbers but they are what they are

Of course he had a choice. His wage demands have got him here.
