Gareth Bale

Thu Jan 31, 2013 12:08 am

How good is he?
What is his weakness?

I honestly think he is world class but won't be classed as that until he moves to a top club, wins titles and does it in the champions league year on year.

I feel he is a little wasted at spurs yet he seems content.

Is he wanted at spurs? Or is loyalty a good thing?

Of course. Seems happy there and can travel back to Wales to see family easily. Apparently he can become quite homesick so the idea of a move to the continent is unlikely.

Then again, I'm sure I could distract myself with £150,000 a week! :lol:

I didn't mean is he wanted :lol:
I meant wasted :lol:

To me he always seemed a Manchester United player in Britain.
Or easily a Barca, Madrid player

Oh :lol:

Man U yes. Barca no way, doesn't suit their style at all.

Real Madrid seem to be the obvious answer. Powerful, fast, great crossing and can score goals. Him and Ronaldo would be unstoppable.

Admittedly he would move back to fullback but he has and could again do it.

IMO he would bless any team

He's been hailed as the new Ryan Giggs, so it's pretty obvious where he should end up

Re: Gareth Bale

Madrid would be the team for him. Imagine a side with Ronaldo oneside and Bale the other.

Spurs right now are slowly transforming into a top 4 club, they have been there or there abouts the last couple of seasons but they have always been lacking. If Spurs actually spent a bit of money on a couple of quality players they could easily challenge for the title. Bale is still young so there is no rush for him to move specially if he feels he can still achieve at spurs.

Seriously wonder if he will be moved centrally in the next 2-4 years. Certainly getting a lot stronger and has fantastic movement.

Perhaps CAM?

I don't think he would, his crossing is just SO good.

He would be wasted, wouldnt get as much room to run i think. The good thing about him now is that he can shoot with his right so he can either cut in or go wide on either flank

Messi and Ronaldo both get room. I'm not saying hes in that category but he could be. a CAM role awaits at least I think, where he can be free to do what he wants and the team is built around him.

Dont get as much room in the prem though, over seas he could definetly do it.

Re: Gareth Bale

Thu Jan 31, 2013 1:25 am

MOTD tonight mentioned he wasn't getting any luck out wide so they loved him inside and well what a goal :lol:

I honestly believe he couldn't play in any forward position and any wide position.

Re: Gareth Bale

Thu Jan 31, 2013 1:59 am

best player in the prem, scores week in week out every goal being a class act,
doesnt get the cred he deserves, if he was english it be a different story and they'd all be wanking over him

I have it in good authority that if the right offer comes in he will go.

He's awesome, really taken it to another level recently but I doubt he'd move away he's level headed his mrs is from thorn hill and he's from Whitchurch it's easy to come visit family for both and he respects his old man a lot his mum and dad still live in the same house they did when we were growing up. I really couldn't see him moving for money, when he was at Southampton he had the chance to move to Chelsea or arsenal he turned then both down because he wanted to play games and stayed at Southampton.

Re: Gareth Bale

Weakness could be that is that he goes down rather dramatic.

I believe he gets fouled but the fall is too dramatic.

The guy is world class.

Norwich were killing Spurs and he picked up the ball and just ran and what a class act.
