I think most people are suggesting he isn't suitable for the style our Director of Football is working towards. I think it'd be great for us to have different options and Bale would certainly be that, but the guys running our club seem to think the "we play one way, and one way only" idea is the way to go..A. said:eversince 76 said:With Bale it's even more obvious the media has only one goal for any player: Old Shiteford. It doesn't matter that Di Maria, Young, Depay and Bale (albeit not with Real because of Ladyboy) all play at, and like to come in from the leftside.
To be honest, if the media cared to be interested in football, they would have discovered it was not hard to see City are more in need than any of the PL-topteams for a leftsided mutlifunctional player Bale is.
On a personal note, Txiki might not see Bale as the perfect player to suit our style of football. Because acting in small areas he's not the best. Sterling, another lefty, could give us more width. Either one of them would suit me, with Nasri and Jovetic leaving.
I'd go for Bale who is also a bit older and won't hamper Barker in his development. Bale would be very eager to show he's a terrific player afterall, albeit not 100 million. Than again who is except for Messi and Ladyboy.
So you're saying the media should write that he's coming to City purely because we need that kind of player more?
It also irks me when people talk of him not being suitable for our 'style of play'; this season it's been clearer than ever that we are too one-dimensional and lack goals from the wide areas. It's also a naive point about us not requiring penetrative running, when our go-to weapon in the past 5 years has been Yaya Toure's destructive athleticism.
Anybody who claims Bale isn't good enough/suitable for us need to remember that our right wing has been manned by Navas and Milner this season, and that Bale has more goals and assists than our second most productive player David Silva.
