Gareth Bale

[Icarium]

United and Chelsea are the only respectable teams in PL. Chelsea also not so much actually, with mou and some good players and their bus parking techniques they are able to maintain some level which obviously is not enough and united still in rebuilding mode. Glazzers really fucked them up.

He seemed more at home behind the striker, i believe it was this position he had his great season at spurs. Cant be worse than at right wing, at least.

He will fail unless we play 4-4-1-1.. in the 4-2-3-1 his creation is terrible ... although he was the center of the play his success rate is close to none

sooner or later one of them got to go.. CR or Bale we can't have both... CR is better behind the striker as seen in the games in the last 2 years we deployed 4-4-2 with Carlo and Bale is finding it difficult to adapt.. throw him on the left.. put CR behind Benzema and James on the right...but will Rafa drop his preferred 4-2-3-1 ? he is far from the flexible person Carlo was

Bale was signed because Perez expected Ronaldo to drop off when he reached 30 but it didn't happen and looks Ronaldo at 31-32 will still be better than Bale...Bale would've been good Ronaldo replacement in a few years but you can't have 2 players who offer nothing creatively in your team..

Honestly the British record in adapting abroad is shameful ... for every Beckham there is 10 failed trials
even if they play well they usually tend to feel home sick and yarn for a return to the EPL... Bale strikes me as one

beckham wasn't that great

He hasnt said anything about wanting to go home i think. And if he really wanted to go home there should be loads of rumors this summer, but everything has been very quiet. Even Perez would have to let him go if he made a request.

 

[Beast]

He won't go for sure this summer.. however you watch other nationalities (Bar Benzema who took way longer to adapt ) and it's so easy for them to learn Spanish & mingle.. Bale 2 years now and he can't speak except few words he still needs Modric & co help... he is an introvert and those type of characters usually feel home sick sooner or later...let's see how he develops however it's a rare case of a player having his second season a lot worse than the first season

beckham wasn't that great

Beckham played quite well & really put the effort every week without exception.. the problem wasn't Beckham but the lack of DM's and buying people like Gravesen to fill in the role .. when Diarra & Emerson (the first 2 proper DM's since Make the tripod ) the result was a much improved game & a league title

It isnt easy to learn a new language, but still, almost 2 years and he doesnt know spanish at all i have heard. It sounds like he doesnt want to learn the language then.

 

[Beast]

If you didn't learn at least enough to talk and get along after 6 month in the city especially when your work required constant communication with other locals and not sitting all alone in the office than something is not right ..there is nothing called i don't want to learn the language
As i said Bale is an introvert and those people don't really adapt easily ...Benzema had the same thing until Zidane joined the first team staff under Jose and they pushed for a private tutor

by 4 4 1 1
do you mean
james kroos modric bale
ronaldo
benzema

?

 

[Beast]

Yes... that's the only other lineup where you can get the best of the team...providing we are still on the mood of Bale don't want to play on the right so he won't fit the 4-2-3-1 formation especially that James is way better as the AM in this formation (excluding of course the 4-2-1-3 of last year )

 

[EdmondDantes]

Months have gone past, Bale is still the eyesore on that side. His technique is way below par, 2 years in Spain and no improvement in that regard.

I think he did quite well whenever he got to play more central , so far in this pre-season.
