Especially when stranded on the benchI can only imagine how loud the chants of BALE BALE BALE would have been in some of this season's games. Real shame we're being deprived of it

And people try to slate Jose for not playing Bale more.
They obviously have a good relationship and Bale was probably the one saying "I'm not ready to do 90 mins".
Nice cameo and hopefully firing for the weekend
He is clearly on form. Instantly when he came on yesterday he made that cross with the outside of the boot.
He really needs to take it out on the Woolwich at the weekend. Kane has 11 goals and is the top scorer in this fixture. 2nd is Adebayor with 10 who scored for both teams, third is Pires with 8 goals. on 4th place is BALE with Van Persie and Henry. We need him to score a hat-trick to make top 3..These are Premier League numbers. Bobby Smith for instance, has 10 goals too.

I've just re-watched the highlights and that cross was disgusting.
To have the confidence and sheer ability to pull something like that off within 30 seconds of being on the pitch is mind-blowing. He really is absolute class.
I think he of all people will be well up for Sunday.
I do wish our front 4 will burn on all cylinders. Lucas running through the middle, opening space for Bale, Son und Kane. Run at them, scare them, smash them!
I woke up thinking about that cross, just absurd level of technical skill. Overused term, but he really is a joy to watch.
Is it just me, or is he looking leaner than he did in the autumn half of the season?
Maybe shedding some of the extra mass has benefited him.

You just have to watch a complilation of his goals before he left to see how damn good he was and that player is never coming back. Watched it yesterday, he was unplayable, but any shades of that even at 50% and i'm happy, and there's where i see him currently, so there's a little more to come imo.
Yeah maybe a bit. He definitely looked a little bulky in some areas probably not best suited for a footballer. Maybe looked more like Rory Mcilroy when he first joined.
for me it was far easier to cross with the right foot, so why has he and others not been coached to be able to do simple wrong foot crossing, passing , shooting
its a basic skill/confidents element that coaches should do
All players will be up for it. Difference is, when Bale and Kane are at 100% they are world class and unstoppable
He’s improved in other areas though (even if the physicality has waned). Key is getting him the ball in the final third
you could clean your teeth with the brush in your non dominant hand, couldn't you?
But I bet you dont.
I'm also sure he's scored, crossed and passed with his right boot before.
Yup for sure. By the end of the season we'll see where he's at, but he's having a real influence now already so it's looking good so far. Thank god
By the end of the season he'll be ready for the Euros, what happens after that could be a very different story.
He really did look like some kind of Planet of the Apes version of Shawn Mendes.
Don't forget about Lamela. He's been playing some of his best football over the last couple months. He's been massive for us.
