i don't understand the 'moved on' narrative i keep hearing. Moved on from what exactly? we were a decent team with a superstar when he was here. Now we're a very good team that could do with a superstar or two to take us up a level. Saying we don't want players like Bale is really odd.Injury prone, inordinate wage demands?
I think we’ve moved on. Using the fit ex analogy, it’s like seeing her a few years later with a few more miles on the clock, a badger like a clown’s pocket & Dyed hair...but still a cracking shag.
Bale is & always was, high maintenance.
A magical player on his day- devastating.
But spends extended periods of time on the treatment table.
And the way he forced his move out of Spurs was fucking rotten.
as for the analogy - it smacks more of fear, of starting up with an ex because you're scared of getting hurt again.
