But that's my point. He is winning and its infuriated Zidane and RM. Win win
How exactly is he "winning"? By being paid the money he's due in his contrac
To be honest I think this shows the strength of his will power to suffer this form of bullying. I have no sympathy with RM. They inflated the market when they brought him. They inflated the market when they paid him his initial signing on fee and salary. They inflated the market when they paid him his £600k new salary. Why therefore should we or the general public castigate him for having the balls to hold them to their agreement? RM had the chance to offload him to China and then pulled the plug. Those saying that he should let RM of the hook and move on for a lower salary seem to want to strengthen RM's ability to buy more players than they currently can due to Bale holding them to their written agreement. Why would any Spurs supporter wish to strengthen RM's financial position.
I suspect fans are saying he should move so that he can play football. That clearly isn't a priority for him, so he can sit and collect his money and enjoy his life. I certainly wouldn't want someone with that attitude at my club, but he cannot be criticised for holding Real to their contractual obligations.
