Gareth Bale

80m is way too much, I would expect a Messi/Ronaldo goal return for that.

A very good player but not worth £80m.

Not sure about 80 million, but at 50 million, this guy is a real game winner...<a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmmKFGy2PjY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmmKFGy2PjY</a>
Some of that shooting is incredible

£35-40m should be about right imo.

Carroll went for £35m and Torres for £50m and at that time Torres was starting into his decline.

Levy will get what he wants for Bale, as he's that sought after.

I think he is worth £80 million.

I think people will really grasp what kind of player Bale actually is in 2 or 3 years time. I believe ( preposterous as it may sound) that he is still finding his feet with the change in position n all. We have not really seen what this guy is capable of.

£80 million?, yes thank you. But that's my opinion of course.

Ronaldo scored 40 goals for 2 seasons at the rags Bale is worth 50m end off

Only once, 42 in 2007/08

 

[SambaStyle]

And how many were pens?

Bale hasn't had a single one yet outscored Ronaldo at the age of 23

1 season in the Champions League and one League cup runners up medal to his list? There is potential, but not at that price.

You can't value a player based on his teams achievements.
