Bwahahaaa. Do you guys really think that Bale can give Malouda a fight for the starting berth.

You're joking right? This is ridiculous on various levels.

Bale's overrated. Nowhere near as good as people think he is.

there are various arguments about how good or overrated bale is and some of his performances speak for themselves but one thing that I can definitely say for the boy is .....he's a horrible wee cunt

His game has changes so much since the start of the season. For the first half, I thought he was the Real Deal, but now not so much.

He was very dynamic at the start, crossing the ball well, shooting, passing, dribbling; he could do it all, but now he just runs really fast and shoots on sight.

Bale--Mata--Hazard

--------Torres---------

[Mr. Ziggles 110]

He has potential, he would be a good buy. But for the right price.

Cover for LB (while Bertrand inevitably makes LB his own, and Cole prepares to either retire or move on) and also LW.

but now he just runs really fast and shoots on sight.

A certain Daniel Andre Sturridge would more than suffice to fill that role, yes?

Bale thrives on counter-attacking situations and more importantly, space to run into. Don't give him that and he's only half the player that he is right now.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but do we not play counter-attacking football? Bale would thrive at Chelsea and be deadly.

But it's not like we play that in every game..

Maybe RDM prefers to play like this.

Not in every game though. And besides, no guarantee that RDM will be our next permanent manager anyway.

How will we go about counter-attacking when Generic Northern Mid-table Football Club park the bus against us?

Well obviously there would be no need. Against bigger teams though it may be counter-attacking from RDM. We'll see after we've gotten some players. Would not complain one bit if we bought Bale but he's just about a Barca player already.
