Gareth Bale

[BenRobbins]

Almost any team could use Bale.

Shhhh no stop talking sense! Let everybody think he's awful and then he can come to United.

Did a talpidae bit your toe?

Always wondered what it takes to break your toe.

I was drunk and absolutely smashed my little toe on the side of my bed. The bone fixes itself in time but it feels weird still, not flexible at all

Wonder if we've seen the last of him in a RM shirt.

 

[Raed]

Benzema survived three seasons before he produced. Bale is a much more expensive investment and he was hand picked by Perez, I am sure he will nurture him till he produces.

Shhhh no stop talking sense! Let everybody think he's awful and then he can come to United.

For the small fee of 80-100 mill, of course
United post-Fergie is crazy enough to do just that.

 

[EdmondDantes]

This guy's lack of technique is astounding. It hurts to watch him trying to do something with the ball, and for someone who is deemed "quick" he takes an age to turn on it.

How Isco, who has been Real's second best player since the turn of the year, is being benched for him is beyond belief.


ps, his defensive work, other than corners is poor as well.

If RM don't go through, I can see AS and Marca blame it all on him for missing that chance against Oblak.

Nah they would blame CR's knees...

 

[EdmondDantes]

If RM don't go through, I can see AS and Marca blame it all on him for missing that chance against Oblak.

It's not even about that chance, all players miss at some point or another. I'm talking his actual game overall. Even when he scores, he never impresses.

 

[Morten]

I admit he has his uses, but thats def not against Atletico. Not that it matters much in the end, but he simply shouldnt start the return leg.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

I think he had a solid game today. Very active in the 1st half.
I also think Bale is overrated and it is a shame that players like Isco have to warm the bench because of him but today's game was a exception. He should have buried that chance though.

 

[KyletheMuslim]

He will rue the great chance he missed early in the game next week when Real go out

 

[xavisionary]

Suppose he can always look back on this if that's the case. He was pretty invisible last night, needs to be more of a focal point to shine.

 

[Frodo_FCB]

He has been shit this season, but he was decent yesterday, contrary to Ronaldo who was totally invisible, but of course no one will blame him.

Poor guy gets abused again.
Maybe it's because he's british.....I just can't understand why he is the scapegoat for their inept form, I mean sure he did miss that chance early in the match but jeeze.
I've heard Real fans call him a welsh prostitute, chants like that make me feel less bad about them calling Messi a retard
