Gareth Bale

[greasedupdeafguy]

Bale is 3x the player Ben Arfa is and is about 3 years younger. If Ben Arfa was so good there would be a transfer frenzy for him now as everyone knows the Barcodes are a selling club and any of their players are obtainable for the right price. Yet you don't hear of City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid being interested in him...

I see your point, but Ben Arfa had only played one season in the EPL.

I am sure if he stayed fit next season, you will see bigger clubs coming for him.

And I said it in the other thread, Bale is better for counter attacking while Ben Arfa is better for teams who usually park the bus.

How are spurs a counter attacking team every side that goes to whl puts 10 men behind the ball. The only reason they didn't challenge us this season was there lack in depth there starting 11 is almost on par with us and bale is a major part of that team.

The last few pages of this thread are priceless - if one listens to the chairman and manager, 1, at a push 2 what would be called marque signings will arrive, we raised the bar considerably in the league this year and will better it next IMO, even with the current squad. Bale is a no brainer as he's integral to a European assault and is widely feared, in city's side he would be frightening, think early season counter attacking city and add this to the melting pot- yowser, we'd also have someone to keep up with yaya (:

If we only could sign one player this season Bale would the one he'll just give us something different

Exactly, I think we're solid everywhere else, maybe a new central defender and midfielder, but in terms of us going forward, he would make a world of a difference. Such a skillful and quick player, unreal how good he is.

I've not been on bluemoon that much the last few days, so just want to clarify... are we ACTUALLY after Bale? Or is this Bale-mania just people willing us to go for him? Has tolmie said something about us going for Bale?

Yep it's about scoring more goals than the opposition we can always fill in with another defender at the back or even mica who is more than capable

I think Mancini would love him at city and there might be something in Tolmie's videos but Levy won't sell for anything less than 50m I reckon so can't see it
