Bale or Cavani, which is the better deal?

[golden_blunder]

Is there another fanbase that makes comparisons as much as ours?

I dunno let’s compare us to the scousers

 

[Tom Van Persie]

there is nothing to compare here, one is a brit who's been freed from his evil oppressors and will fly high in London, the other is an old foreigner who is just here for the money and found a sucker in the shape of the desperate yestermen from Old Trafford

What do their nationalities have to do with it? If you think Cavani came here to sit on his ass and pick up his pay check you're mistaken and clueless.

 

[Acquire Me]

How did Bale even manage to get injured?

Golf

 

[WR10]

One clear answer here: the one that is less injured. Less injured = winner

 

[Denis79]

I think that Spurs will have a better season than us this year, as a result Bale will ride along and have a better season than Cavani, if he stays fit. If the transfers were vice-versa I would say the opposite, so it's not which player is better but which team I believe will do better.

 

[Redplane]

I think both will be interesting. Both Spurs and us can transition/break at high speed so it ll be interesting to see if both still have the stamina to keep up with that. Having said that - I think we have more to gain from a proper CF (I love Tony but a pure 9 he is not) than Spurs have to gain from Bale. If the stories about his work rate are true - his impact in some ways might be even more important outside of matches. Cavani offers us something different. Bale offers more or less the same. Either way I'm sure Bale will score some worldies this season, but with the potential to imbalance their squad.

 

[simplyared]

Bale I reckon!

If you're going to be a big man, and talk shit, at least be fecking right. Moron.

what a train wreck of a post

i was describing both players through the eyes of a red top newspaper, sorry if i wasnt that clear,
i actually think Cavani will do more than okay at United, and i'm glad United made him an offer, for no other reason than too many fans on here and in the wider fanbase, have an obsession with ''yoof'', players don't suddenly become shite once when they turn 30, he'll score a few winners for United this season

 

[Leethal]

what a train wreck of a post

I was wrong?

He said he's been injured once; as is clearly not the case at all, as proven by data.

I'd say the train wreck is the person that is blatantly wrong in regards to his injury record, then runs crying to moderators like an infant to his mother, reporting me, after I called him out on it. I'm not going to pander to the crowd to try to gain popularity points - of which I truly couldn't care less about. I've been here for 12+ years, and if I get banned for calling out incessant stupidity, so be it.

CAF classic thread

 

[charlenefan]

Lots of photos now of Bale in full training - I reckon he's going to be all ready to play after the international break.

I can only imagine the thoughts of opposition defenders when they see a front three of Son - Kane - Bale on the team sheets.

 

[JPRouve]

Accurate picture of what opposing defenders think.

Good effort lad. How’s Mumbai?

Bale. Not even close.

Bale's played feck all football last season, after being totally frozen our for reasons we already know, and still somehow managed to play more football than Cavani; (if you include internationals), in a much more competitive team, and a far more competitive league. He's also almost 3 years younger, and has actually kicked a football in the last 7 months, and not been sat on a farm with Covid contemplating retirement as nobody of worth wanted him. People forget Cavani's injury record of late is about as bad as Bale's is, yet, Bale is a much more talented footballer.

I rank the transfer of Cavani as possibly one of our worst piece of businesses I've seen in a very, very long time. Obviously we've had some terrible signings, but they are terrible in hindsight for the most. This is terrible from the outset. And he's supposedly our marquee signing this window.

Also, whilst Cavani is free, he's still going to cost us a fortune after you account for agent fees, signing on bonus and wages. And he won't be able to kick a football for us, for at least a month or two. At best.

Agree. I will add.

Bale knows the league, and the club. It's always more comfortable to live close to home for culture reason. Bale had higher ceiling, and between his injuries, he has adapted to play with them all his career. He's not supposed to carry the team but adding extra X-factor. And Bale is capable of produce X-factor even in the most pressure environment. Bale ain't supposed to carry Tottenham.

In comparison, Cavani is new to the league. After getting hit with niggling injuries, his performance in French league nosediced. There is question whether he can adapt with all these thing at once now he's 34 in few months. Cavani is flat track bully, lack X factor. Often failed to give cutting edge in important games in CL. Cavani would have to do very well to contribute as much as required, given he would have a different role now than he used be have. In substitute role, he's not rated by PSG as high as Icardi, nor Choupo Mouting this past season.

We paid more up front with wage and agent fee for Cavani in the first year, while Bale one year loan package is 9m. It only gets even if Cavani does well enough for second year.

We shoulda got them both. Bale only on loan though.

Is this a joke?

Why on earth would you have wanted us to get Bale?

He's absolutely finished.

 

[KD6-3.7]

I don’t know why Spurs took the gamble getting Bale. You could see he was happy just collecting his wages from Madrid and lost interest in football all together a few years ago.

 

[Red Stone]

It's quite obvious Bale is the far better deal...




...if you're the owner of Hadley Wood Golf Club.

 

[Shane88]

Poor Leethal.

Spoiler

 

[Ali Dia]

Has he been fit at all over the last few years?. It looks like the injuries ruined him. Is he just a really soft trainer on the pigs back or can he really not get back to a good level again.

This is the difference between 'professional' fans very professional managers/coaches.

The managers/coaches will probably get 5-7 out of 10 things right for a living.

'Professional' fans: 1 out of 10 right despite their thousands of cock-sure opinions.

Yet the 1 out of 10er will be the loudest and will never remember nor lack the humility to learn from how badly they got their pontifications wrong. In fact, will probably double-down like the Ole Outers.

Glaston thought they got Bale circa 2010-2013. What they do have is a bale of hay.
