You're not seriously comparing them
Of course not. Just that both of them have mostly been good only aginst the shite teams.
You would be Shergar
One for oldies and racing fans, small audience I suspectYou would be Shergar
I originally thought that signing Gareth was a bit of a PR exercise, and when it took him forever to get fit, I thought it was a waste of money. However, he had to be selected to play to show that he can still do a job for us, and we can still see signs of the old magic. It's verging on criminal that he didn't get more game time.
and you would be zippy chippy!You would be Shergar
And you'd be Devon Loch!
Extend the loan. No brainer. His goal return this season has already exceeded expectations and would be good even if he had played twice the minutes he had. What price do you put on 10-15 goals a season?
Don't forget to add a clause to terminate loan if he gets injured at the euros!!!!

Not sure I see the similarity to be fair.
Shergar disappeared at the top of his game.
El Magnifico was never at the top of his game on here and unfortunately for us won’t disappear !
A genuine Spurs supporter would be happy to have witnessed a player scoring a hat trick and pleased for the player concerned. You don’t appear pleased. Why is that?.....
By all accounts Spurs do have a second year first option, subject to terms. If Bale wants to stay at Spurs he can virtually force RM to make those terms acceptable.
RM's very limited options:
A) Bale goes back to playing golf and sitting on the bench - cost to RM $35m and fans raging.
B) RM loan Bale to a club willing to pay 60% of his salary - highly unlikely and Bale can always say no - but if they could manage it then - cost to RM $15m fans happy.
C) RM loan Bale to Spurs for $15m - they still pay his salary - cost to RM $20m fans happy.
So if in the unlikely event a club comes in willing to pay RM $20m for Bale for a year, that still means Bale can say no. That leaves RM either paying Bale $35m to stink up the place or taking Levy's low-ball $15m offer, and who's to say Levy won't go even lower than that ... if Bale refuses to go anywhere but N17 our Daniel will have Florentino by the short hairs.

Let's put it this way: if we got Potter in (as an example) there's zero chance he'd turn down extending the Bale loan. It'd be career suicide as far as the fanbase goes.
Your premise is wrong and thus the rest of your argument irrelevant.
I simply dont see scoring a hat trick against an already relegated sheffield team as evidence of a player's quality.
They were 3 top quality finishes from a quality player. If you can’t see that then you are either trolling or just plain daft
Its amusing how people like you quickly resort to personal attacks simply cos others dont share your views.
Unfortunately, I would rather not read post like yours.
What a terrible personal attack. Fancy calling you daft- I don’t know how I sleep at night!
The plan should be that he plays the next 4 matches to see if he can find some consistency and play in a front 3 and we beat better teams.
Once the New Manager is in then he needs to be asked if he wants Bale. If yes then we negotiate with Bale & RM to keep him. If no or he does not impress over the next 4 matches then he goes.
It would be expensive to buy a replacement that is a consistent goal scorer but we need to know if a front 3 of Son, Kane & Bale can work against better teams than Sheff.

lol, i read that as the only thing to prevent him leaving is a long term injury!!
