Underwhelming. Mind you, he has a top knot.

I doubt very much he is 'happy' but I do agree he is making a stand against the bullies of Real Madrid and letting him know he will not be cast aside when he has a contract that says he is still their player for the next 12 months
I don't agree with those who say he created this situation; he has simply refused to roll over
Equally, I agree with those that say he is losing an important part of his career, assuming he is not wanted by the new manager, that he may come to regret in years to come
We've had players sit on their costly contracts at our own club and we have criticised them; but we must always consider that it took two to tango in the beginning...

It definitely takes two to tango Chris and I’m sure there has been things going on at that club that we know nothing about.
Where I thought Bale was silly and childish (as a high profile professional) was parading and laughing with that infamous flag - Wales, Golf, Madrid.
To us it was funny and a good laugh but very disrespectful to the ordinary Real fans especially considering the huge salary being paid. I think he pretty much burnt his bridges with them then.
Imagine Murphy or whoever being photographed with an England, Golf, Cardiff flag for example. He’d be crucified by the fans!
While they will want to move him on as they do with many high earners there I think Ancelotti may well give him a fresh start and a chance.
