Glass Dragons Still Breathe Fire - The Gareth Bale Thread

This is what you hope. We do poorly and Zidane is forced to use Bale and he saves the day.

What you want, isn't necessarily what will happen. Hope you can come to terms with that.

 

His history is that he will complain when he doesn't get exactly what he wants (even if the team does well and he plays) and that he will also act out.

However this is the first time he's really been put in a position where the club is rebuilding and he is not considered a player the team can build with.

This already happened. And Zidane was forced to quit when Bale made his demands immediately afterward. So there is precedent.

 

So like every coach in the world? And it’s hard to believe that you don’t want Zidane fired badly, that only happens if the team doesn’t do well, catch my drift? You’re suspect my friend.

 

In the alternative, its a fact that this club can win without Zidane.

Personally I think we should have just gone with Capello if the idea is to instantly win a league and not have a plan for more than that.

I really don't see Zidane sticking around like an SAF or Wenger or even Cholo Simeone. He's gone as soon as he's unhappy.

 

I have a hard time seeing how Bale features a prominent role for ZZ no matter how well or not we play. Their relationship is too fractured and Zidane is too stubborn.

 

Oh im not saying you're no Real Madrid fan ( don't really care either way ), im saying that you dislike Zidane so much that its hard to believe you wouldn't want to see the team struggle long enough for him to get sacked.
You've not made a single non Bale or Kroos related positive comment since he got back.

Most coaches leave when they're not happy, its hardly unique to Zidane, also the argument isn't that we couldn't win without Zidane.

 

Where is Bale going to go?
Let’s be realistic here.. no one is interested now what makes people think some team will be desperate to sign him in the last week of the transfer window unless it is a loan deal and we pay part of his wages..

Everything so far indicates Bale does not want to leave and will force the issue with Zidane..

 

And his bitch ass agent

 

No one is going to pay Bale to leave.
If those 3 remain on the team Bale will continue to be the better option when healthy. Asensio was a disappointment worse than Bale and Lucas is Lucas.
This can be fixed if we get another RW..that way Zidane is covered from any media backlash.

 

I’m going to speculate here because I don’t have all the facts, but, if the coach has ( allegedly) told Gareth he is not part of his plans , and the coach seems to have come back with a mandate to run the team how he sees fit, if the coach has decided that he would like to keep both Marco and Lucas for whatever reason , then Gareth can be the better option all he likes, but I imagine the coach will play who “he” prefers for his team to work the way he wants it to work, some may believe Gareth is the better option, but we have one coach, and that’s ZZ, and ( allegedly) he doesn’t seem to share that view, I think there is more chance of a media backlash if he continues to play Gareth, it’s not like the media is in love with him or his agent

 

I'm probably part of the minority here, but I still believe that Bale is a better RW option than both Vazquez and Asensio. Bale didn't have a great season, but Zizou came back and benched him for the wrong reasons and persistently played worse performing players, in my opinion.

 

Are we down 2-0 because Bale played as a starter? That sounds familiar.
