This is my first and probably only ITK info I'm ever likely to get told but here goes ...

I'm currently doing my FA level 2 coaching badge and the tutor was coaching Bale From age of 8 to 16 at saints and still keeps in contact with him , And he told me that he'll 100% be at another club in January.:cry:

Getting told a few other good stories ...but nothin transfer related !

He didn't go into details ....but from the way he said it sounded like a transfer !

Also said he'll always have ankle problems due to somthing to do with when he was growing ?

I can't see it somehow, as we will be losing Bae & Bassong for the ACN in Jan. Which would leave us with Corluka/Hutton (most likely to leave IMO)/Naughton who could fill the void at LB.

So unless Harry is planning on signing another LB, then I can't see any Bale transfer happening (which incidentially is what Harry said in Friday's press conference)

If is a transfer would be a ridiculous decision, at least loan the kid out to beef up his value if we really want rid.... has the potential to be the best left back in the prem and id be extremely surprised if Arry let him leave.

People seem to forget he is only 20, the same age as Kieran Gibbs, yet people talk about him as a kid for the future and Bale is a flop! Is a joke.

Cheers for passing this on.


Not sure why the coach would have wanted him to become a LB when (for me anyway) he could be an even better LM

Yeah thought the same thing myself ....I suppose what he meant was he Improved his defence side of the game and thats where he broke in the side for saints !

From what I've seen over him Naughton will never make the grade at RB, let alone LB.

Remember against Doncaster it was Hutton, not Naughton, who converted to LB when they both started.

I hope Bale stays but I still see him as a LM, not a LB.

i'd think it's a shame if he went. decent back up for LB and LM. some good free kicks, pace, height (for a fullback)

I don't blame the kid for wanting to go. I bet he'll be great for the next club. We'll be stuck with a disinterested frenchman.
