Please, just must be having a laugh. From Ostersund to Spurs?
Let him first make it in Belgium or Holland.
The bloke is 24. Whats next? Kiesse Thelin, lol.
Dude. I used him as an example. I by no means indicated that we should actually go for him. Nothing wrong with using a player to try and kickstart a discussion on the subject of player transfers.
ok, bad example imo.
Maybe focus a bit more on proper talents. Tbh... Cant really think of too many in Sweden. Isak is in Dortmund and I cannot think of any others. Maybe Denmark has some more. Like Dolberg.
This is the level we should focus on.
Bale looked to bulk up fairly rapidly during his first 12 months or so at Madrid. Just wondering if they had a regime of steroid use to accelerate this muscle building process. That might explain the injuries if he has stopped taking the gear, just throwing this out there!
Bale isn't that big guys. He does have some good muscle (practical amount) but it's his leanness that makes him look bigger.
He's still a slim guy and not much bigger than when he left.

Ehhh i'm not sure I don't know what the hell their feeding him at Real but that's quite a change in muscle mass

Quite simply the aid of lighting.
Who gives a fuck? He has calves made of straw these days.
After he came to the fore, he spent a considerable time injured for us too. And we missed him because we weren’t a particularly strong team without him.
These days we can lose Kane for 8 games, still put in the match winning shifts, & he still ends up top scorer at the end of the season. We are in a much better position now than we were then.
He’s not coming back to Spurs & I couldn’t care less. Let him keep United’s physio staff occupied. Or keep on fleecing Madrid for £350k a week
A great player, but very injury prone. We are doing things exactly the right way. Bale does not fit the model & couldn’t be relied upon to remain fit for more than a couple of months at a time.
His injury record & the way he left us for that lot says all you need to know about him.
I’d rather tie our own galacticos down to better, longer contracts than spunk the family silver on Gareth Bale.

Muscles in the right places.
Is that because his hamstring looks like a vagina?
We were all thinking it right?
What was wrong with the way he left us? He played straight with us, he said and did nothing until Levy had squeezed the biggest fee he could from Madrid. It's not his fault we flushed half of his fee on poor players. Apart from what he did for us on the pitch, Eriksen and Lamela are part of his legacy.
We certainly came out of it stronger eventually.
But if you’re happy with how he left us, then you’re more compassionate than I am. His sore arse that was preventing him from training or fulfilling his pre season responsibilities cleared up quickly enough when he signed for them.
Am just glad the lead swinging cunt is their problem now.
I don't think anyone was happy about it.
That transfer window was torturous as we all knew he was going.
He still played it straight with the club though.
The fact that we had 30m to spend on Lamela.... Maybe.
Eriksen... Nah. We were linked for some time and at that price he was affordable and always worth a punt.
Either way, i don't buy that as Bale's legacy..... Our finances are fluid, whilst players come and go all the time.
Was Modric's legacy Jan & Lloris?
Meh... Not for me.
I am never one for taking players back,it never seems to works out as good as the first time.
