Ex-Spurs Player Gareth Bale

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I honestly think Bale's finding out that he doesn't have it anymore.

The league is way too demanding for him and this team isn't good enough to have a luxury player like him.
 
Really hope Mourinho is gone soon so Bale can get a real chance to show what he can do in a team that is allowed to attack and a manager that want to score goals before this loan spell ends

Nah I see it as he would like to play, but is already paid and is not going to get bent out of shape because of some assholes mistreating him.

At this point Im starting to wonder if Mou even ever wanted him here, and if Levy simply hoisted Bale on him as a marketing ploy/"sentimental reunion" ( $$$).
 
Bale cannot play 2 x 90 mins per week and therefore will need to be rotated. With Dele, Kane & Lo Celso injured he will get mins. Playing RW with Sissoko behind him was never going to help him. He needs to be given the ball more when he can do something with it. Not sure if he will start against Chelsea or WBA but should start in one of them.
Why can't he? Doesn't belong to us, fuck Madrid.
 
If we played a more possession-based style, we’d be getting more fouls and free kicks in the opposing half.

Bale instantly becomes more valuable just for those opportunities.

We really need a change in style for our current talent.

Yep.
More attacking, more chances, more fouls, more cards, more FKs, more penalties, more OGs...

...more "LUCK" in general.

Right now under Mou we are doing the complete fucking opposite of that.

The point is that it is in his interest to prove himself as because of Brexit he will be considered a foreign based player and will find it even harder to get into Madrid's squad even if Zidane leaves. He will end up like Rose not in the squad and any other team in Spain will have the same problem. If come the end of the season he is still not getting into our team, then what Premiership team would take him on his wages. He really is stuffed and needs to do something.

Contract is up in another year though at stupid wages. No club in the world was ever going to be able/willing to take on his wages, really, and he was never looking like giving them up either.

It was just a loan to get him out the building, and Madrid will be looking for the same sort of arrangement next season as well regardless of how he performs here. If he performed well, they would have just used his 1 year loan as a makeweight in a transfer.

Its next season that matters to him as it will be his audition for whatever club signs him next. And what sort of signing on bonus and contract he pulls.
 
He looks finished but let’s be honest, if we got him the ball in the final third, alongside Kane and Son with midfield runners joining he would still look a good player.

he can’t sprint, but he has a great touch and can spot a pass and can finish - not unlike VDV. We got him the ball and things happened - he wasnt expected to play right midfield in a 6-4-0 ffs
