Gareth Bale

[zidaneisgod]

Don't forget the ball control of a donkey.

Not as bad as what most people think but clearly he would not suit Barca's formation.
Once again, he has a lot of things going for him but instead is being shunted around to accommodate other players.
The current formation would work better if:

--------------Back 4-----------------
--------------Middle 3---------------
Ronaldo ---- Benzema ------- Bale

 

[zidaneisgod]

Please. Bale is shit and nothing would change if Ronaldo wasn't playing. Remember when Ronaldo was injured and Bale was getting his preferred position and being the star of the team? He still wasn't doing shit.

I honestly don't recall an extended period where he has played on the left.

Well, lw isnt Bales best position anyway. He has had plenty of chances in several positions, with or without Ronaldo in the startup. for whatever reasons, he is awful for us, he got to go.

You would sell someone who - in his head - can be as good as Messi???

Not even neymar, no no sir, Messi

 

[King5Puyi]

I almost feel sorry for him. He'd soon be a flop worser than Owen was for the Whites.

Gareth Bale: “I feel like I can be as good as Ronaldo and Messi because I know my ability.” [mirror]

Well, he surely can be as good as gelled up mario gomez... sorry, cr7.

Its funny how things would have looked had Perez actually gotten Neymar. Now he has to force trainers to play to save face and it ruins their whole team (atleast one of the things that does that).

The Stat : Gareth Bale has scored 3 goals in his last 22 games for RM, 1 against Granada and 2 against Betis.

And some here wanted to sell neymar after being out of form for 5 games lol..

Hope he never leaves xxx

We would have a slightly more functional attack, but in the grand scheme of things it wouldnt have changed much. The problems goes alot deeper than that.

In general it does but Bale in Madrid and being forced to play every game has hurt Madrid in many ways.

Nope, it wouldnt have changed much at all, just a sligthly more functional attack, thats it. These problems cant be solved by a new player here or there.

Out of BBC, Bale wasn't as bad as Benz and Cristiano against us.

He absolutely was. Didn't see him for over half an hour at one point.

Could've got at least some assists if his team mates didn't waste the chances. And Bale, unlike CR and Benz, put some efforts to snatch the ball from our player.
