I adore Bale, but he’s saving himself for Wales and I’m more than happy with that. His next club will be more of a training and run out club to prep for the world cup imo.
Yeah I'm happy with it too (I'm welsh). I wouldn't entertain the idea if we weren't so short in the attackers department. But yeah, it'll never happen anyway.
So third then....?
Haha good point.So third then....?
Yeah, he didn`t do much last night, it was Wales keeper and defense that won it for them .
He needs regular football. He was OK yesterday and obviously played a pivotal role in the winning goal, but he was absolutely gassed in the second half. He needs to be sharp for the World Cup.
I agree he’d need more regular football but I still don’t think he is going to bust a gut or risk injury. It will be all about getting fit and match sharp.
Completely agree ... He doesn't really need the money ... he should join a lower mid-table team (to mimic Wales') on reduced wages and only play a limited set of matches - home & away against the top-10 clubs, plus any cup semi-finals/finals ... 6-8 serious games prior to November and he should be fit for the finals. He doesn't need the money, he needs match practice.
Him and Rooney are for me personally the only British players I would replicate in every position for United since I started following football. I've never understood the hate some people have for Bale.
Isn't that a risk given championship is every 3 days for games unless he has some deal he only plays twice a week.
Seriously? Just look at his face when others score a goal. What he did to his girlfriend when she had that problem that time. Look at how he always takes corners when the box is too far to run to. You can tell he'd rather spin off his man than dance. He was by all accounts bordering on violent in the Spurs changing room. He grins on tap. His hair is trolling the 70s. He backed up Atkinson. No one at Forest has a good word to say about him. He still eats meat. On Thursdays he does. Have you heard him speak out against Lukashenko me neither. He prob has an enviable length. He fought what McGrath Whiteside brevity shirked. His dad mouth organed saturated trumping noise. The fire in southport. Bledrarst im see me now. Need I go on?
This was a ride
You've got some issues and I love all of them.
Not sure about hate, but there's definitely a sense that he's underrated and I honestly think it has a lot to do with his personality. He's a very private person who can come across as aloof when he does speak. I think personality goes a long way to how people perceive certain football players. Doesn't really bother me. I just judge him as a player, and on ability, he's up there with the best British players of all time.
So would Woody.
I think the "hate" he was referring to is more like a "hater" of him as a player and I definitely agree there is that sentiment.
Take him where? His new Job? It's the #murtough era
Fair enough.
With an ego like his there’s no way he would accept pay per play. He would just replace Pogba as you £350,000 (or whatever he is on) sulking bench/injury room warmer.
What ego?
We need players that will run through walls for the club and manager that are totally committed not has beens using club football to prepare for a world cup. I would have serious doubts about Ten Hag if he wanted Bale.
Nah that sailed a while ago for me.
If he accepted pay per play though I feel it's a different equation. He never would so it doesn't matter anyway.
Got to disagree, we are at a stage at United where we need totally committed players and not players using United as a means to gain fitness to play international football.
Stop being a hater, then maybe you can have an objective conversation.
Again, he'd never come but wouldn't you rather have 1 Bale instead of Lingard or Cavani. I feel our squad was full of players who didn't want to be here. One such player doesn't hurt.
