SirBalon Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Bale’s agent just now; ”Zidane is a disgrace! I hope Gareth can leave as soon as possible!”
SirBalon Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 25 minutes ago, Batard said: They are both of Algerian descent, which may sound like it's going to be xenophobic, but what I mean is growing up in France after the war with Algeria with Algerian parents, prejudice was real. Something like that can lead to someone to exude a steely determination and a "fuck you, I'll show you" attitude. I’ve heard and read up a lot on this. Some of it from French Algerians (born in France) and some of it from regular French folk. One of my French friends who is from a small town in the Alps but lived for three years in Paris is very sympathetic to how they feel because of the treatment during colonial years but another French pal from Strasbourg hates them and says they’re ungrateful.

I think it's unwise to call Algerian immigrants that were subjugated under a French oppressive regime "ungrateful". It may take many more generations before much of the resentment passes.
Harry Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 I do wonder whether Bale would been a greater success at Real Madrid if he was of Spanish or Portuguese see descent...

He’s been shit for Real Madrid taking into account the amount of time he’s been there. I can’t be bothered to translate it but on this link below, this journalist summarises the issue to perfection.

Chaaay AFC Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 His failure to learn Spanish also goes against him. He has lived in Spain for 6 years for fuck sake, its just embarrassing.

He always looked out of place in Madrid and he appears not to have helped his cause in terms of integration to the Spanish culture and way of life which ultimately exacerbates any likeability problems he has and comes across as a sign of disrespect.
Inverted Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Harry said: I do wonder whether Bale would been a greater success at Real Madrid if he was of Spanish or Portuguese see descent... I think yes, but mostly just because he wouldn't have needed to adapt to the culture so much. It's still on him for showing basically no interest in adapting. It's well known that he doesn't take part in stuff like team dinners because he still eats at British meal times. Its stuff like that which exacerbates the language thing. After 6 years, he still lives like a British person in Spain, as opposed to someone who has embraced the way of life in what should be his home.

Hit the nail on the head there, FFS, 6 years, if you live in a country that long doing a trade you have to learn the language, can't say me & the wife spoke fluent German when I was in the army but the 4 years we lived there we got by with our German and mixed with German people.

Definitely mate, Real probably have access to some of the best linguistic teachers around as well. Absolutely no excuse to not be able to hold a decent conversation with his teammates.

An unspecified Chinese football club would take the Welsh player on a loan deal where they would pay his extraordinary wages.

Florentino has always admired Neymar's football and Real has more players to offer and more money to spend this summer than Barcelona. I can see a fit if Real really wants it. One thing I read and it makes sense, is that a Neymar move to Real Madrid is better for PSG than a move to Barça, because it probably rule out a Mbappé transfer to Madrid in the next few years. In that sense, PSG could accept Bale + money for Neymar.

In that sense, PSG could accept Bale + money for Neymar. The main reason behind any move of Neymar to Real Madrid from PSG is down to pride from the French club’s side of things. I’m upto date on everything and I get it completely. His move to Real Madrid would be a great one and I personally hope it happens tbh. I hope he never goes back to Barça. The move to Paris Saint-Germain though, turned out to be as I said. A ridiculous move from a career perspective for Neymar (years lost) and from what HE really wants which is to go back to Barcelona. Hopefully he doesn’t get his wish.
SirBalon Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Gareth Bale’s agent; ”This has been a very surreal day. On the Bale swap with Neymar deal? (laughter and a look of incredulity) I have absolutely no idea! This is news to me.”
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted July 22, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 22, 2019 Chinese Super League club Beijing Guoan are keen on signing Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale. They want to make the 30-year-old Wales international the highest-paid player in Chinese football history. (Telegraph Manchester United, who have previously been strongly linked with a move for Bale, do not intend to sign him. (Manchester Evening News)
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted July 22, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 22, 2019 The Mirror...£1 MILLION A WEEK!!!! FFS...
6666 Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 He'd be crazy not to take that deal for at least a year.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted July 22, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 22, 2019 He'll go to China and its only because its the lowest risk factor he will be afforded at this point in time. His credibility in European football is literally in tatters and the Chinese will take anyone they can to their football league. He should go even if it is short-term. That kind of money won't come around very often for him.

SirBalon Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 For me a move to China will just give me more fuel to throw shit at him although I’m still living in hope that he takes the swap deal with PSG for Neymar going the other way... If it’s actually true! Not that PSG is very different to China (with all due respects to the genuine historic clubs in France) as Neymar found out. But at least I won’t see that geezer (Neymar) putting on the Barça jersey ever again.
