No teams will put 10 men nehind the ball compress the space and Bale will get the same Flak as AJ currently does
Bale should have been a stand out performer for the Spuds hw wasnt - teams that win the prem have players whom oerforman consistently well over a season - Bale and others did not and that is why Spuds crashed
If we as a club are going to break a British transfer record between prem clubs which is what it will take to get him i would seriously hope we would spend it on a top top player whom is proven to deliver at the top top level
Thats why we paid top money for Yaya and Aguero - players whom when it matterd delivered and justified their wages and transfer fee and Bale quite frankly is no where near then = he is just fookin fast
This could be up there with the didsbury dave post of 2009 regarding tevez 'he's not very good'
He's just fast lol
Johnson gets flak due to his inability to get away from defenders, when bale beats the full back he stays gone, he doesn't put a bad ball in either by all accounts.......
In this team bale would become the most dangerous player in the league, up there with the tranny for influence!!!!
Bollocks - read some of the Spuds forums - Bale has hardly been going past teams this season also
Teams that defend with 10 and compress space will negate much of Bales pace (like AJ now he will be faced with two defenders and no space to run behined the defenders - at least AJ has a trick or two)
Tevez had a reputation well earned befoe he joinned us - a top international player proven in the prem top performer compared to Bale's CL performances two seasons ago which is what most people remember him for
Tevez stood out at West Ham even though collectively they were a poor team
