    If he can't cope with the change of culture in Spain heaven help him in China!

    A million pounds per week for playing sodding football. Its obscene.

    There's a lot of people in China! Agree the amounts are ridiculous though.

    Theres not much interest in football over there, they're trying, but it's the equivalent of the MLS 20 years ago. Bale moving to China will create about as much excitement as if Chaz from emmerdale moved to Bolton on dearne.

    Clearly Bale doesn’t back his own ability anymore. Not sure what more money he would need to earn tbh.

    Couldn't learn Spanish in six years. God help him trying to understand Mandarin.

    I met him in Madrid in 2014 after the Liverpool game that Real won 1 - 0. He's a really nice bloke but not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I suspect his agent needs the commission money more than he does. At the mega rich level more money is meaningless. At 30 he is still good enough for the Prem and it would certainly more fulfilling than plying in China.

    No matter how good I was I'd take 1m a week over there rather than 400k over here.

    Which is why he will never be remembered as one of the best players in the world. I think he’s a busted flush which is the reason Real want shut of him too.

    Yep. He's won 4 champions leagues and scored an overhead kick in the final. He's a long time retired, so at this stage I'd maximise my earnings
