Gareth Bale on the brink of signing for a Chinese outfit for £52 million a year. Nice work if you can get it. Though he apparently has a personal fortune of £100 mill already so hardly needs the dosh. If he reigned in his wage demands a little bit he could have gone to a decent PL outfit and played some competitive football to finish his career. After 5 years in Spain he hardly speaks a word of Spanish so mandarin is probably beyond him. Just shows the lure of the ££££.
Thank goodness the lure of 'filthy lucre' will likely drag Bale to the East; thought for a minute FC Bayern were going to get sucked into paying both a large transfer fee and a substantial wage (contribution) for the Welsh lad.
