Gareth Bale

[taconinja]

Not sure I get the people who wouldnt have Bale. They are probably the same people who desperately wanted Hazard last year. Bale is a better player than Hazard - no uestion.

They're different players in my opinion and are both excellent at what they do. Honestly having both in the side would be a terrifying prospect for opposing clubs.

I thought we should have gone for Bale years ago. The last two seasons though he has really matured and is a major threat. We've been a bit stuck as we have no natural wingers in the (regularly picked) team. We're very narrow which has it's merits but against some of the (so called - no disrespect) "lesser" teams, width generally helps you get a result. The question is whether Bale would uproot and go oop north. I am fairly certain he'll want CL football and if he doesn't get it at Spuds, he'll move on. Well, that and ENIC won't be able to resist a £50-£60 million bid.... which is a LOT of money....

Think Bale would be the closest we could get to ronaldo.

Exactly.

The way Bale has been playing, I would say he seems to emulate Ronaldo alot. And he has the same technique and power, as well as the height, to do what Ronaldo has did before.

Still remember this lad came from Southampton, as a LEFT BACK.

Spurs could use the money from Bale to buy Rooney and keep their fans happy

Manchester City line up summer swoop for Bayern Munich star

Manchester City are readying a £17m bid to bring former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben back to the Premier League.

The Dutchman has been in and out of Bayern's first-team this season and incoming coach Pep Guardiola is reported to be willing to let him go in the summer.
With Mario Gotze set to move to the Allianz Arena at the end of the season, Robben will find it even more difficult to nail down a first-team berth and he could be open to a move to the Etihad Stadium.
City's lack of natural width has been highlighted as one of their main problems this season and Robben would certainly boost them in that area.
And sources in Spain claim that City are on the verge of meeting Bayern's £17m asking price for the ex-Real Madrid wide man.

Sounds like bullshit until you realise he was released against the chili mans wishes at Madrid

Robben is exactly the type of player we need, not sure about his injury problems though.

Bale's younger than Robben and if Pellegrini can improve him then we'd have one hell off a player.

I think Bale is overrated personally, and don't think he would make us bridge that gap to Europe's elite level.

Robben on the cheap would be a good signing in my view, given there are other areas we need to improve on also.

It's more important that we sign a top quality CM, striker and winger together than it is to blast the budget on 1 player.

I think Bale is overrated personally, and don't think he would make us bridge that gap to Europe's elite level.

I actually think the opposite,in a world class team he would be even better.
At present he carries the majority of the attacking burden on his own,put him in a team with superior players,who are on a similar wavelength,and opposition defenders would have even more to think about,that being the case,i believe he could be devastating.

He is world class.

We are not going to sign Gareth Bale, this thread should be interred.
