As I said a zillion pages ago, the reason this is finally happening now is that Zidane's managerial tenure is now more valuable and more important to Real Madrid than the (now shortened) remaining length of Bale's contract.

In all previous windows the idea was that Bale the asset would outlast Zidane the devaluer of that asset. No longer true, so time to pull the ripcord.

It wasn't necessarily going to be us, but it seemed increasingly clear this time was different on Madrid's end.

So this 'leak' is Perez trying to save face and shift the blame in the event Bale starts popping them in for us? Kind of cowardly from him when you realize it was one of Zidane's conditions for coming back (reported) and they could have gotten a better deal with China last season and saved all the bad publicity. Not really leadership.

The devil's in the details. You didn't mention this aspect. So your complaint isn't the fact he went back to the keeper it's the fact that he passed the buck in a situation that you would have preferred him to take the initiative. Fair enough.

I am changing my mind. I am allowed to do that, right? This is actually a tactical thing. The GK isn't launching it in these situations.

Usually folks have to pay for these types of liberties. Give me some time I'll see what I can do. You've already used up 1 token on the Soumare bit. Don't know how much you got in the bank.

OK, in future I will try to remain entrenched, no matter how preposterous my position.

I will also take some performing-seal lessons, because nothing motivates me more to get up each day than a bloody-minded determination to cling to my ignorance.
