Gareth Bale

[Turson]

He's nothing but an average player. I don't understand why people compare him with Neymar. Neymar is 3 years younger and much better. What had Bale achieved when he was Neymar's age? Nobody even knew who he was..

Completely different ligue.

Completely different tactics which does not suit his style of play at all.

No pre season.

Considering all of that, his stats are impressive. Last year people were saying that Modric was the worst transfer. We all know how he plays now.

Tore The best RB in the world apart.
He was never the same afterwards.

I watched him in the game yesterday he was abysmal, more like a -100mil player. yeah, he scored a great goal but he was completely utter shite otherwise.

You mean like Messi?

 

[Jenks]

He's obviously overrated, but to say he's an 'average' player is ridiculous.

Fabregas has more assists and goals than Modric, Alonso, Illarramendi, and Isco combined this season

Good for him, but Modric is pure class. IMO hes the best RM player atm.

So what then?
They contribute in another way!! How many assists does iniesta have this season?

 

[CatalinR10]

Dat goal tho...

 

[Cule4life]

Good player but a little overrated

 

[BrianSwan]

Lets look at facts.

New club, new country, missed pre season and playing for a team built around Ronaldo who has played 21 times (Messi only played 16). So it's been hard for Bale to settle and regain his form of last season but he's done fairly well at it. Neymar too is in a new country and new club but had a great preseason and not hampered as much by his club's top player. Both will be even better next season.

Final pass is not the only important thing. The way Modric recycles possession, among other things, is excellent.
