Gareth Bale signing for Chelsea would spell trouble for Premier League rivals, says Gary Neville. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9837426/gareth-bale-signing-for-chelsea-would-spell-trouble-for-premier-league-rivals-says-gary-neville

Bale needs space? Yeah I agree with that. But people seem to forget the Bale can make his own space.. He has played in the PL, its like people have forgotten that. He doesn't need a long stretch of green ahead of him, if he gets that quick burst of pace (like Willian does) then he can rip through defenders. I remember at Tottenham when he was deployed in the middle v Norwich and has a worldies against them.

You've all seen what Mourinho has done with Hazard over the last two years, his influence has been outstanding. He can easily do the same with Bale, nurture him to be a more effective winger and then he can have Hazard, Willian and Bale rotating.

I don't think anyone here has suggested we swap them, that would be entirely counteractive. But both of them? That would be a dream & a nightmare for defences.

Bale is technically a bad footballer!????

WTF

If he is technically a bad footballer then I'll be a monkeys uncle!

People go on like Bale is a 100m sprinter who Real Madrid gave a chance for the single fact that he can run lol.

Bale is quality tbh!

Good player but 80 million? C'mon ...

This guy could win us the CL, we need this type of signing to become on par with Barca and co.

[Victor Von Doom 258]

He can come if he cuts his hair and stops doing that silly <3 celebration

I changed my mind i only want this guy this transfer period. Just the thought of having him and Hazard makes me jizz my pants. I would take Reus as a 2nd back up for Bale but someone like him is a must to dominate.

Bale is awful against parked buses, no idea why anyone would want him for £70M+

Cause he's a winner

Cause he's a winner

A winner? He won no trophies at Tottenham. Fair enough he won the CL, Fifa Club World Cup, Super Cup and Copa Del Rey at Real Madrid in 2 seasons but a 25 year old who has won 4 trophies in 9 years, two which are pretty meaningless and are really just exhibition trophies, hardly say hes a really winner (although he did score two goals in those two cup finals), he couldn't inspire a team to win a trophy by himself, inspire others around him in the dressing room to win, I mean he couldn't even get Spurs back in the CL? Winner? Not really in my eyes. People who are winners, are people like Jose, like Drogba, like Messi, like Ronaldo.

What had Drogba won before the age of 25? Even Ronaldo, the bulk of his triumphs have come in the last five years. Just saying. Too early to dismiss him as not being a winner.

Ronaldo for me isnt a true winner. He is personal winner, but not someone to give team extra edge in decisive games.

He won one CL (that he completely sucked in final) and one La liga in 5 years.

Cristiano was poor in the final, big deal. He's not the first and he won't be the last. His contributions in the previous rounds and group stage, scoring 17 goals I think (a record) and a bunch of assists don't count? And what about his time at Utd? He annoys me with his constant whining, crying and selfish nature, but give the man his credit. He might be egotistical, but he's definitely a true winner.

Real have done poorly in not being able to add a title after 11/12. Really poor. But Barca is some opponent. We all know how it is to simply be inferior. Fans always talk about how good Chelsea was in 2004-2006. Well they were just as good in 2006-2009, Man Utd was better.
