Gareth Bale

[pudge]

Bale has the potential to be the next Ronaldo.

Forget the tricks, for sheer power and explosiveness, he is already on a par.

He is wasting his talent at Spuds, he has the capacity to be scoring 15-20 goals a season from a wide position.

Phenomenal talent and also a perfect pro, and you can never have enough of those type in your team.

Apart from the diving of course

The other benefit if he comes here to sort of offset the injury thing is our backroom staff. We seem (touch wood) to suffer fewer injuries, maybe due to rotation also, than the other top teams which indicates a combination of the two? Properly looked after and not run into the ground, he could be an awesome signing.

Or gaining an advantage.......

The Rags probably got an extra 10 points this season from such 'tactics'.

Saying that,he's hardly in the Rooney,Young or our very own Mario stakes.

Gareth Bale is a player that needs to be rotated, he has problems with injuries and he tends to get very tired towards the end of the season.

The question is will he accept a rotation system? At tottenham he has played everytime he has been fit, and some british players like Lampard and Gerrard respond very poorly when their manegers rotate them.

Bale will be in the top ten attacking players in the next decade, but only if he is willing to be maneged in the right way.

So in order to extend his career he needs to be managed in the right way? Anyone with half a brain should be able to accept that.

Most footballers dont even have a quarter of a brain mate.

Diving is cheating, doesn't matter how you dress it up or how often you do it

I'm bored reading that people think Bale is overrated. Why not post that you know bugger all about football but are determined to have an opinion anyway? It's effectively the same thing.

The problem with Bale going to City is that his greatest abilities lie when he marauds up the sideline using his speed to beat his man and play crosses into the center. This just isn't a fantastic fit in our current squad, and his speed would be an underused asset as the majority of our possession is slow buildup. Also, Bale insists on coming in off the wing into the central attacking role, crowding the center of play, where his passing and dribbling skills are not sufficient to warrant his position there.

We need a creative central attacking midfielder who can come in and play a similar role to Nasri and Silva when one of the two is injured or in poor form, and ideally someone who can play decently on the wings as well as inside. Some of our greatest struggles this season came when Silva was in poor form and we lacked the passing creativity in the final third to open up our opponent. Bale probably is not the best provider of this final pass, and will certainly be more expensive than many other quality options.

And instead of telling people they don't know the game as well as you, prove it to them in your post.

Bale on the left, Johnson on the right. That would be something.

Very possible, both in the spuds shirt next season.

I think Bale would be a great signing.

Take the point about his pace not always being an asset if we do not break quickly but even if we have a number of the opposition blocking our path to goal like QPR then he still can product quality crosses. Of course we would need to have someone in the box.

Maybe this signing would develop further options for Mancini on the pitch so its a yes for me.

Didn't realise he was so tall either. 6ft 1" - another good thing.

Wonder if he will start the new season with an Olympic Gold?
