Gareth Bale

[Guest Homer2Chelsea]

Overrated. rather have Sanchez.

[- 25 - 167]

Never going to happen, although I'd love it to.

Not just a coincidence that we play them on saturday as well.

He is not overrated, he is that good. Dismantling Inter on his own and out running world class defenders as if they were schoolboys. Finishing is excellent, attitude aswell. Would be a perfect buy. Having said that I'd like Sanchez myself if he comes in at a good price (in other words we won't engage in a bidding war with City)

Not sure if he is over-rated or not, but definitely would not fit our 4-3-3 system. He is more useful in a team that plays on the counter, where he will have loads of space to knock the ball and run onto. In a system like ours where we are often in the opposition half and get congested, he isn't the trickiest player to beat 2-3 ppl and create something out of nothing. That is why i think players like hazard, neymar, sanchez or marin would be useful to us.

He does have an excellent cross and shot in him though. I like the idea of him being our LB once Cole is done. But definitely not as our winger in a 4-3-3.

Gareth Bale is easily better than our left wingers, he would be behind Ashley Cole at LB but as LM/LW, no way, he has the pace and necessary technique - enough to shred opponent's right side into pieces. UCL against Inter games were just a glimpse of what he can do, he also fooled Real Madrid's Ramos so the only way you could stop him was persistant fouling and tryng to break his rythm. And that's not a great tactic, bcs you end up with 10 men in most cases

Versus Chelsea he ran faster with the ball than Kalou without the ball and i wouldnt class Kalou as a slow player.. even he had a grin on his face after that.

He is still young and surely a player to look out for...

To be honest Ramos isn't that great at defending and I agree with NoFear, he's the type of player who wants space in behind and we don't really have that nor do we play on the counter.

Not worth £40milion.

[J.F. 1,484]

Daily Mirror are reporting that Chelsea will make a £40m bid for Gareth Bale!

Link: MirrorFootball

and there are roumors, that Terry is going to Real Madrid, and Chelsea will buy Bale ahahahaha

[True_Blue 469]

I would shot my balls off with a desert eagle if this happened.

And it is not because i would be happy.

[Henrique 9,133]

Its likely to be a media bulshit...40m for Bale is just stupid. But we cant forget we could say the same about the first news reporting Roman would pay 50m for Torres.

I hope the russian learned the lesson.

[Cosmin 2,484]

Bale is a great talent, I'd love to see him playing for Chelsea.

But not for this much money.

[J.F. 1,484]

20-25 million max for him.

[chrismada9 1,948]

the same mirror saying JT to Real Madrid ....

Well, Madrid can fuck off. If Jose wants to work with JT again, then get his arse back in West London!

(I still back Carlo)

Not gonna happen .

£40 million for a player living off 2 Inter games? no thanks

He was worth £3million this time last year so if he does go for that amount Inter deserve £37m for over inflating his price
