We would have to pay Real Madrid to take Willian. Exactly my point....even Willy of late looks more effective than the current Bale. RM would love it if we paid 60m for him.

I think that is a bit of ridiculous comment to make in all honesty, the guy has probably been stronger physically in terms of his build than he was in his last year or two at Spuds since going to Madrid. Yes he has had his fair share of injuries in the past 2 and a half seasons yes but couldn't handle the physical side of the PL? Cmon. The guys British, played in the PL for however many years.... he could definitely do it again in the PL I meant that in regards to his injuries. Bale has been playing in a league that is less physical than the Premier League for years and he still gets injured like 3/4 of the time. How much have those injuries affected his physical state? If he's already breaking down easily in Spain, then I think it's a fair question to ask whether he can handle the Premier League right now after years of injuries. That's my point. I know he played in it in the past but that was before he became injury prone. Bale's main strengths are his pace and physicality but take those out, then I'm not sure what else he's got to compensate for them. He's basically half of the player he is (or even less) without those qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I think your getting a bit carried away with yourself, I have no idea what Bale played like the last game for Madrid but to say Willian looking more effective than him. hmmm. 9 minutes ago, Jason said: I meant that in regards to his injuries.

He's basically half of the player he is (or even less) without those qualities. Maybe but I still think he would be fine in the PL. His injuries again, while they have been a few but hes hardly at the sort of level of injury prone you'd associate with other players like Jack Wilshere or various others over the years like Michael Owen etc who have missed months and months of football almost every season or beyond 6 months in a season. Hes still managed to play 42 games last season in all competitions, 39 games the season before. 2016-17 he only managed 27 games in all competitions which is where he struggled with fitness a lot I think. Plenty life left in him I would say and when you see him play hes still as quick as ever (watching Wales on the tablet, still looks breakneck speed and then Scotland on my laptop haha).

Trust me Im livid we didnt sell Willy twice to Barca, but Bale aint much better in my eyes, at least Willy under Frank works somehwat hard, I see none of that with Bale. Now he may hate to play under zidane but his overall quality has diminished big time and only getting older and slower and for 60m that is just not viable and pretty stupid imo. THis version of Bale offers us nothing for the sum and wages it will require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,250 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I just wanted ro clarify my stance on Bale. I was having a laugh with with Willian swap (which would never happen anyway) and my feelings on Bale are Atomiswave and bigbluewillie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we have a player, who had almost called quit, by going to china. It was only asensio's injury that cancelled the move, and now people want to get him at Chelsea. What a joke. Anyways, rumors, that's it. No way Frank would be considering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Must be avoided at all costs. Although he's lasted a bit longer than I thought he would at some point he's got a Torres/Alexis decline written all over him.

To be honest I did think he would of done better. Or at least in terms of minutes played anyway, but I suppose if your managers picking Eric Lamela ahead of you reguarly or using him as a sub first somethings not quite right. Hes not set the world alight and probably would never have reached the heights he did at Spurs before and Real but he has 10 goals and 3 assists in 1135 minutes. Not necessarily a bad return considering its a goal involvement every 87 minutes or so. Fair some are in the Europa but also in 569 minutes in the PL he has 5 goals and 2 assists (more a purple patch though). Didn’t justify the huge wages and loan fee though... even funnier how hes basically fucking Spur off to go back to Real in the summer by sounds of it to continue picking up his pay check. Think the money he’s on and his treatment at Real now has probably killed his desire to try kick start his career. A similar sort of situation has occurred at Arsenal with Willian also, huge wages and not the level of output you’d expect after his returns last season (although probably more a one off as was best statistical season in his career for G and A), has 0 goals and 7 assists (5 in league).

NikkiCFC 8,358 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Thanks. Overall 11 goals in minutes equal to 10 PL games. He still has it, if he is more disciplined and care about football he would be on top. Bale, Lingard, Willock all of them scored so much more than all our attackers in such a limited time. killer1257 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Bale's contract is out next year, right? Has Newcastle written all over it, unless he decides to call it a day and focus on golf after his contract at Real Madrid runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,358 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I agree it's laughable considering everything talking about Bale but tbh to him last season he had 11 PL goals and 2 assists in just 920mins which is like 10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
