Styles 9,790 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 To certain level, he reminds me of young Robben. And Mou sold Robben, so...Besides, his work rate has dropped big time since Tottenham days. Heck, Isco is slowly putting him out of team (but Bale will still play because of his fee).Robben was in the final year of his contract and refused to sign a new deal. The club wanted him to stay but it was either sell him or lose him for nothing. Needless to say, the club made the right decision.And I still prefer a young Robben to the current Bale. One of my favourite ever Chelsea goals. Damn shame we couldn't get a few more years of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people have the ability but don't use it as well as robben does dangerously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneChan95 225 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 The way he charges at defenders without fear is incredible. Some people have the ability but don't use it as well as robben does dangerously.Hazard is doing this more often now. Wish Willian dared to do this too. He is definitely technically competent and pacy enough. Anyways, no chance Bale is coming. It makes 0 sense for RM to sell him so early. Besides it's not like he was ineffective, he effectively won it for Real in the CL+ that goal in the Copa del Rey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Miguel Angel Diaz (Miguelito) was on air (Cadena COPE) minutes ago and he said that United have submited a €150m (that's around £120m I guess) offer for Bale and Madrid will accept the offer only if Bale will specifically ask to leave. Other than that, they have no intention to sell him.Maybe you remember from the Diego Costa thread, I have told you before, Cadena COPE is a reputable outlet in Spain and Miguelito covers Real Madrid for them.

Atlas Lion 1,223 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Robben was an inconsistent injury prone talented player with us, and to say you would choose a young Robben (even though Duff was a better player during his time with us) over this current Bale who;s been nothing more than a big game player for Madrid is Mad. Mad I tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Rumors going MU might go for 130m+ bid, surely even they can't afford that? Might as well make it 70m more to sign Messi if that was the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
