Eh? Thought they'd found the one club in the world that could take on his wages, and now they want him to stay?

Yes exactly (although it wouldn't require him to say 'I'm not going anywhere', he could have said he'd be happy to go to a European club, but since no one could afford him, then it would mean the same thing). Agreed, but since he's already under contract to get £600k a week, it would be...

Talk is cheap, and Zid doesn't pay the bills. I'd imagine those who do would be more pragmatic about paying off some of his contract.

So you think Madrid would keep paying him £600k a week, and not play him regularly?

So are you saying that Madrid were prepared to keep paying him £600k a week while he sat in the reserves? Surely they'd have to give him some respect and play him, or pay off some of his contract to let him go. Or until Bale and Madrid reach a mutual agreement to end it.

Others in Bale's position have turned it down. If I were in his position, I'd certainly turn it down.

So he hasn't already provided enough security for his family? Other start like Ronaldo and Messi have turned down the ludicrous money in China to keep playing in the top leagues, whereas Bale has sold out. Up to him of course, but to many of us it seems like a waste.
