The Gareth Bale Thread.

I've not been his biggest fan but is this what the "warchest" is for?

by all accounts he's run inter milan ragged tonight.

Is it %@#$&!s, we'll be lucky to get Gareth £#%&!ing Southgate

he would cost us 30m easily

best winger in europe right now

was it this time last year Spurs had gone 20 games without winning with Bale in the side?

He shoots better than he crosses and he crosses better than he tackles.

So basically, he can shoot. Left-footed.

He is a fantastic athlete, has clearly put a lot of work in on his physique. I just wonder if he might be a little one dimensional for this success to last over a long term, not the most subtle player, but he is great to watch.

Bloody hell he's not that good.

He's still very young though. He'd develop his game over time, but for the moment, he would be a fantastic addition just as he is now.

Didnt he £#%&! us off first time round? then joined spuds

but he's better than obertan.

i don't know where he rates on the "value" scale, though.

robbie brady rates on the value scale.

Bit inconsistent.

One week a world beater, the next the new glenn helder.

Yeah, we looked at him but it was clear early on he was going to Spurs.

He touched that @#%&! form teh BT advert so he probably has a really bad cold/ gone aria

To be fair Bale has come a long way in the last year, he's had some great games against the big clubs. Looks like he's improving all the time.

True, and he is an exciting young British player, the type that Fergie has always pushed the boat out for. Not really feasible now though.

You have to give credit to Bale, sticky start at Spurs but has been very impressive over the last year, and a hat trick at the San Siro against the European champions is a hell of the way to announce yourself on the world stage.
