As you can probably tell from my name, I grew up in Spain and I have to tell you from someone who has had to watch Real Madrid and their pursuit of players for half my life, I hate them. They are arrogant and think they are above the rules. They don't care about the good of football and they never have done. Hateful, shameless, football club. And their fans are just as bad. They represent everything that is wrong with Spanish institutions (they might as well be a department of the government considering how in bed they are with them) and everything that's wrong with football. If Bale wants to sell his soul to these assholes and whore himself to fans who will never really appreciate him, at a club that will chew him up and spit him out on their everlong march up their own ass, then he can go for all I care.
