Gareth Bale

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He is lw, means Hazard would play on right side.

He sure knows how to defend for a winger, is strong and tall enough.

Young and ready to move to a CL club. Certainly he would play better in better club.

Small problem; 40mio if we are lucky to get him so 'cheap' from Spurs.

He is younger than Modric and Levy rates him higher (said once that Bale is perfect player).

I realy liked this player at the beggining (specialy that game vs Inter), but he didnt fill that high potential since. He is very good, but not realy Bale from that game. Another problem is that he reminds me on Robben, fast, dribbler and powerfull shot, but injury prone and unconsistant.

Would be happy if he joins us, but probably wont. Hulk is equaly great player too.

Meh, contract renewals mean nothing. So he's staying this one season, this time next year the rumour mills will turn again.

Not necessarily. Falcao?

He signed a new contract at Porto - which increased his release clause - but left for Atletico a couple weeks later.

Ah yes!

Then again, Porto isn't chaired by Daniel Levy

[Superblue 6,370]

He has likely been told that he won't be leaving this summer because Modric will. If Spurs miss Champions League again next summer then he may have something in his contract to allow him to go then. And I suspect a healthy pay rise for staying at least next season.

Think the guys worth a bid?

Levy will probably let him go for 45m i would think. Definitely one of the best wingers in Europe

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Yup if we can get him for say 35-38m he will be a brilliant signing.He is that X-factor player that we dont have currently if hazard is not playing.

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Can't see them selling to us

[Spike 12,049]

He is a very powerful winger. Strong, tall, fast. Physically he is like Cristiano Ronaldo. My biggest problem is that I don't think he can beat players with technique, he needs his pace to do so. Giggs was fast as all hell, but he could still beat a player using a bit of trickery and technique. I'm not too sure Bale is capable of that. He might become useless if he loses his pace, much like our golden haired demi god.

I can't stand how he presents himself to the media. He has a pathological need to argue and justify with the media that he isn't one of those 'foreign diving types'.

Hazard over Bale?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Spurs and Villas-Bitter will never sell to us.

/topic.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I've also merged this with the old Bale topic.

I fucking hate Bale with a passion, the fact this thread exists on these boards is sickening.

Still doesn't cancel out the fact that he's probably the best winger in the PL. Unfortunately there is no space for him in our team and Tottenham won't sell him to us unless we offer them silly money.

[Jase 43,479]

As Alex has pointed out, as if Spurs are gonna sell him to us. Will be a waste of time dealing with Daniel Levy especially after he played hard ball over a 40m offer for Modric previously.

[HNKS 508]

Would rather Torres sign a new 10year contract worth £1m a week than sign this diving overrated piece of shit.
