jacketspuds Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I can also see him not really pushing himself as he will not want to get injured before the World Cup. He will be in the squad even if he doesn’t play until then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Hasn’t Bale said that he wasn’t actually that injured at Real Madrid. I think he had a couple injuries but for the most part he was healthy, he mentioned that fans/Spanish press would just assume he was injured.

He will train and he will play for what ever club he goes with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a friend at school who never turned up at school when it was windy as he was out surfing those days. Bale was supposedly like that but with golf. And the weather is almost always good for golf in Madrid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparable to Rafael Leao who is now a €100mill player. The question is though is he the right striker to fit in with Ings & Watkins. and IMO he is and worth the risk. I’d be in favour of David too. Think it would be a great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Time machine, take me to 2014. Ashley young into Coutinho. Coutinho turns and plays it out to Bale. Bale with the cross, Suarez scores! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sounds that's consistently come out from Madrid (and their fans) is that they've been unhappy about how he has handled his rehabilitation and that he's seldom been fully fit. "Rather spent time on the golf course than put in the extra hours in the gym". Fierce competition at Madrid and they supposedly got fed up with him not applying himself enough. Would also explain why he kept on picking up minor injury after minor injury. That's their version, kinda checks out from the outside but doesn't mean it's true.

CVByrne Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Given the 5 subs rule. I can see Bale as a talented impact sub or a starting player we can take off at 60mins. A 12 month contract only though if Gerrard feels he can get the best out of him. He might be excellent played at LB again given how attacking our full backs are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a terrific impact sub if the wages were right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
