Might be a good thing. All he did tonight was give the ball away.

Bale has always been class for Wales, I could never understand why spurs and especially Redknapp wouldn't use him.

Redknapps made him the player he is today.

Couldn't disagree more, he never played him for months despite him playing amazingly for Wales. Only used him when forced to when Ekotto went to African cup of nations. Before that he was being linked with forest because he wasn't wanted.

Always been the same thought polo, over the years we've had some truely world class players mixed in with good European and British standard players but we've never had a manager with the exception of Gary Speed perhaps that could integrate such players with the lower league level players that a small nation like oursleves will always have.

Could be that Bale will be one if not the best ever produced by Wales.

Oh turn the page ffs.

He didnt fancy him as a young left back, gave him a go further forward and turned him into a world class winger.

No he played him left back and realised how good he was then moved him forward after Ekotto came back from the cup of nations.
He was basically forced into playing him.

Whenever he played him as left back they didnt win. Defensively he didnt fancy him. He preffered Ekotto who is a better left back. Harrys perogative.

Gave him the confidence and freedom further forward hence turning him into the player he is today.

Cos he was only a kid and had more senior players in front of him at the time

Re: BALE 2 - JOCKS 1

Fri Oct 12, 2012 9:14 pm

He was 20 hardly a kid, had played plenty of games for spurs previously and was amazing for Wales at the time.

Re: BALE 2 - JOCKS 1

Fri Oct 12, 2012 9:20 pm

Didn't Bale go something like 20/30 appearances for Spurs without a win?

Would you play him if you wanted to keep your job?

20 hardly a kid :lol: He was nowhere near the size and athlete he is now.

Anyway we can go back and forth all evening. Bale credits Redknapp with giving him the confidence and belief so thats good enough to back up my earlier statement for me.

Yes he should have been 1st name on the teamsheet for Spurs cos he was AMAZING (in best camp voice) for a Wales team that won 1 game in about 3 years :lol:

bale

He signed a new four-year deal with the club in August 2008.[32] Bale was given the number 3 shirt for the 2008-09 season, which left previous number 3 Lee Young-Pyo without a squad number. After some poor performances, Bale was dropped in favour of Benoît Assou-Ekotto and the latter remained first-choice for most of the season.
[edit]2009–10
After playing a record 24 Premier League games for Spurs without being on the winning side,[33][34] Bale's first ever involvement in a Premier League victory came against Burnley on 26 September 2009 – more than two years after signing for Spurs – when he came on as an 85th minute substitute.[35]
In June 2009, Bale underwent surgery for a knee injury, ruling him out for over two months. He missed pre-season matches and it was projected that he would miss the first few weeks of the 2009–10 season.[36] On 26 September, he made his comeback as a substitute in the Spurs' 5–0 thrashing of Burnley. However, he endured a frustrating time on the bench as Benoît Assou-Ekotto was in good form. When Assou-Ekotto was sidelined with an injury, manager Harry Redknapp decided to give Bale a chance and he impressed in the Spurs' FA Cup third-round 4–0 win over Peterborough.[37] He finally tasted victory for the first time as a starter in a league game in the 2–0 win over London rivals Fulham on 26 January 2010.[38] His good form continued and he was named Player of the Round after helping the Spurs to a 3–1 win in the sixth round replay of the FA Cup against Fulham.[39] In April 2010, Bale scored another goal against Arsenal after a pass from Defoe he tapped the ball past the Arsenal keeper.[40] Three days later, Bale slammed in Tottenham's second with his weaker right foot in a 2–1 victory over leaders Chelsea and was named Man of the Match.[41] He was named Barclays Player of the Month for April.[42] He signed a new four-year contract at White Hart Lane on 7 May 2010 as a reward for helping the club reach the Champions League qualification place.[43]

Well his performances for Wales were showing he was capable irrespective of results, it was obvious he was good enough and as soon as he was played he proved that.

So your convenientally forgetting his poor form for Spurs before he got his second chance then.

Was Harry meant to drop in form players for a domestically out of sorts Bale just cos he had one or two good performances for a shit national team :?

What poor form? How was he out of sorts?
Or do you really believe that the losses were simply down to bale playing? :lol:
