I dont think other people buy it. He’s been benched by Zidane and then by Solari . People are not dumb.. there is a very obvious reason why he is always benched.
They know that’s game over for them in Madrid. Let him talk he might seduce some stupid English team.
Great. Keep on selling Gareth Bale as a victim to a poorly ran club who don't know how to use him at the height of his "powers". I want us to get as close to what we could have gotten in the past.
Then again british media seem sgenerally supportive and eager to echo his agent's sentiment, so i'm not too sure about that. As an example, when Mourinho cut a completely over the hill Schweinsteiger in Manchester, the german press was fuming. It seemed like a logical decision to everybody else (practically retirement age+huge contract), but in Germany, the talk was as if Mou and the club had cut prime Bastian Schweinsteiger out of the rotation because of whatever reason other than performance.
have him play left back and we can talk, anything else is a nonstarter. I'm only half joking, he needs to play deeper and I'm not sure how do that with his unwillingness to help defend and his inability to be active in the attack unless the ball is at his feet.
So far has anyone from the club says Bale is for sale, or bBale said he wishes to leave ? Reading the posts here seems like suggesting this, can someone point the source ?
Why do you think his agent is making noise left and right? Zidane is no fan of Bale and his agent confirmed this. Bale is also a disrespectful entitled brat and I'm sure Zidane would like to part ways. I get your a Balefan and want him to stay here forever and ever, but your hero gots to goooo.
The club has never placed a player on the market ever. Still, plenty of reports of growing unrest within the team and the club to justify that were trying to push him out
If Bale catches fire for a couple of months (against some relegation teams) then the pressure is going to be on Zidane to not sell him - or look totally selfish for forcing out the clubs best player to carry out some personal vendetta. Also, Bale may, and justifiably so, insist on staying as an automatic starter and have the team built around him (if he comes away looking like the team MVP). I don't see how anything good can come of this, his value is around 50ME and he's going to be picky about where he goes - so in the end I don't see anybody paying much more than that if there won't be a bidding war in part because he is going to refuse offers from any clubs not in the PL and CL (which may very well narrow down the options to zero.)
What pressure lolz? All that Zidane needs to say to Flo is i want Bale gone. And that is it. Besides his market value is not 50M. We will get 70M+ in the summer.
He played a great game today, initially only on the defensive side of things but once he swapped to the left wing ( his natural position) he was dangerous going forward as well. He would be a valuable squad member if he didn’t think so highly of himself lol.
He played well today. As we know the good performances are rare with him. He needs to be gone after this season.
Factually speaking Bale will stay in the club for the next few season surely. Nobody at the club has once saids the club wants him gone and Bale himself is clear that he wants to see out his contract. Under the right coaching, he will live up to expectations as he had before.
No we won't. No matter how much you wish it. He can get "under the right coaching" at Chelsea or Manchester.
Bale can’t sustain a whole season. ZZ saw it. Flo rolled the dice on Bale/Benzema, the bet has blew up to his face. Vin is a welcome addition to the attack line but asking him to carry the team on his shoulder is just too much for the teenager. Asensio can recover his form, but we don’t know when his next MIA period will be. Assuming Hazard is coming, ZZ still need a good target man to backup for Benzema. Having Hazard/Bale/Benzema/Asensio/Vin/Vasquez/Mariano is too crowded, some of them will not even make to the team sheet on matchday, 1 or 2 people has to leave.
Keeping Bale past this summer will be a clear indication that we have learned nothing as an institution.
and that Zidane also learned anything by coming back. for sure I don't want him in the team and on one side I think he'll ask to leave for sure, but on the other hand, this club is run by Perez, and you never know with him. All Bale needs is a few good games in those 10 meaningless end of season games and Perez will be happy to keep him.
I expect Bale to play all remaining games (provided he stays healthy), Zidane wants him gone more than all of us together.
