Gareth Bale

[Robbie]

Seen down at the Lane today......

 

[Torrix1889]

Would be well happy with that although with Naysmith a week or so away, Taylor fit again and Del Geary more than capable of filling in at left back I can't see it somehow.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

...was he with Theo, Robbie?

Bale can play left wing too.
Technically good on the balll - would be a good signing IMO.

Not on this occasion

 

[Torrix1889]

I agree Robbie it would be an excellent signing but we aren't exactly short of wingers either..................

Would be an amazing signing. Which is why I am sceptical, where has the rumour come from?

 

[Houso]

Rate Gareth Bale very highly, but not really a position we need to fill in on. Unless we're thinking about moving Naysmith into a central position.

 

[DazBlade88]

Strangely, I got a text from a mate saying something similar about half an hour ago...

 

[Robbie]

where has the rumour come from?

A 'source' who works at the Lane. Sadly can't say more than that. He's generally reliable though to be honest.

 

[Houso]

Come to think about it, we are owed a loan player or two from Spurs...

Injury-prone? Not that I believe everything in Wikipedia...



"Bale was substituted after sustaining an injury resulting from a tackle from Fabrice Muamba in the league fixture against Birmingham City on 2 December 2007. A scan revealed that Bale had suffered ligament damage to his right ankle, consigning Bale to an extended period on the sidelines. Spurs' sporting director Damien Comolli announced in February 2008 that Bale would miss the rest of the season through injury.[17] He signed a new four-year deal with the club in August 2008.[18]

Bale played a record 24 Premier League games for Spurs without being on the winning side.[19][20] His first involvement in a Premier League victory came against Burnley on 26 September 2009 - more than two years after signing for Spurs - when he came on as an 85th minute substitute.[21]

In June 2009, Bale had to undergo surgery for a knee injury, ruling him out for up to eight weeks. He missed the preseason matches and it was projected that he would miss the first few weeks of the 2009-10 season.[22] On 29 September, he made his comeback as a substitute in the Spurs' 5-0 thrashing of Burnley."

Wasn't he rumoured to be off to Forest??

Gettin Nicky Shorey instead aren't they?

Good enough for me.

I'd have Bale as left back or left wing, even better if we have a deal lined up for him longer term.

These are the sorts of guys we need to be getting from Spurs, the ones they overpaid for and aren't using.

Hopefully we can get Naughton back in the summer too.

 

[Robbie]

Gettin Nicky Shorey instead aren't they?

Yep, that deal is sealed I believe.

If we do get Bale, we will have a corner taker at last

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Yep, that deal is sealed I believe.

And a real threat from direct freekicks, which we definitely miss.

I'd have Bale over Shorey anyway certainly if we are looking long term.

 

[SotonBlade]

He can hit a free kick too. Remember seeing a couple when he was at Southampton

 

[sitwell]

has he got him to play right wing though ?

 

[madeinsheffield]

Wasn't he in American Psycho and Batman??

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Wasn't he in American Psycho

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke

 

[matth]

Is it true that Spurs have never won a single game in which he's started?

 

[Robbie]

Is it true that Spurs have never won a single game in which he's started?

It was true..... until he came on at 4-0 against Burnley and they won 5-0.

Couldn't really lose that though haha

I think that is more down to Spurs being shite than Bales lack of ability.

 

[Come from away]

I guess he must be 6ft 4 in and look a lot like Kallio cause that's who is coming.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

I would hope Bale is additional

 

[Oreyt]

I would hope Bale is additional

Hmmmmmm

 

[matth]

I would hope Bale is additional

that's what I'd heard... we need players and he needs matches and confidence.

 

[Kev Gee]

Yeah that Kallio looks like Bale. Thats probably who was spotted.

But if he came on he didnt start the game - or am I missing something here??

 

[mattbianco1]

Is this one still happening??
