Gareth Bale...............

[RobbieOR]

Has never won a league game when playing for Spurs! That's shocking.

 

Source: It was on Setanta last night.

[Woo]

It's because he is overrated and Spurs are shit.

[Xherdan]

Surely 'Arry will save spurs from the drop?

[Jonte]

Doesn't help the lad at all, why focus on it like he is the reason that Spurs is shit

[Dan Vito Corleone]

He can't defend to save his life. Another bullet well dodged.

[Unrighteous]

Gareth Bale learned to defend from the Andrea Dossena School of Defending.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Poor mans Insua

[Strontium]

You can't draw any conclusions from that stat. Bale is a good player.

 

I mean, I think we only lost 1 league game with Abel Xavier in the team, it doesn't make him a top class right-back.

There is no Andrea Dossena school of defending. He doesn't even know what the word means!

I raise you a European cup winning Josemi

[El Rojo]

I wouldn't write him off just yet as he's still only a kid.

 

There's certainly potential there and he'd improve a huge amount working under Rafa, Ferguson or Wenger.

 

Brilliant from dead balls too.

I noticed Cheerful Harry, the chippy cockney and journalists' best mate, was up to his usual media tricks after the Wigan game. "2 points in 8 games can't be the manager's fault" he said - yet I notice that this particular Arthur Daley was quite happy to claim complete responsibility for the turnaround when he first came into the club...

[Dicko]

Just shows you the madness of the transfer system in this country. Insua & Bale are both round about the same age, both promising and both may or may not make it.

Bale costs £10.1m from Southampton.

Insua signs on loan and then is made permanent in a swap for Paletta. Total cost £1.5m.

Yeah I heard that too, made me larf, as they say.

There's some players here who we've paid big money for and aren't living up to expectations.

Well if you park you most expensive summer signing on the bench, what do you expect.....

 

*checks team sheet from weekend game against Stoke*

:eek:

[sir roger]

I watched Bale in a couple of Wales games & he stuck out in both as a potentially fantastic player. Due to injuries , poor Spurs team & one assumes poor coaching , he has seemingly gone backwards , but if we could get him for the same money we could get back on the Dosser , I would be absolutely thrilled.

Both are very promising players, both could still go either way .. :whistle:

[gaz181]

He's a decent player but he's got a lot to learn defensively. A bit of a liability when he plays LB at the moment.

[RedKnight]

I like him.

[The Dude Abides]

He's fucking garbage. Plus he looks like a chimp, a rather gimpy chimp too.

Buying off Spurs though....

 

Doesn't inspire confidence after Paul Stewart & Robbie Keane

[Stu Monty]

I have him in two seperate fantasy football sides. Therefore this news is not in the least bit shocking for me.

 

What happened to you taking free-kicks, Gareth? Where are the goals, Gareth? Why do you dissapoint me so, Gareth?

[Carradona]

I like him.

 

Does his nationality play a big part in why you like him?

[RedKnight]

Does his nationality play a big part in why you like him?

 

No, that kind of thing only works for the Irish.

[The Dude Abides]

No, that kind of thing only works for the Irish.

 

Really? I think Keane is a bit pish.

[RedKnight]

Are you Irish?
