Good Luck GB

[USAYID]

He is the best player that I have ever seen play for my beloved Spurs in 30 years. We are very unlikely to have someone that good within the foreseeable future.

I don't know about that......I still think both Hoddle and Gazza were much better players. While Bale could produce a moment of magic, both Hoddle and Gazza could take the game over. Bale isn't there yet, and while Ronaldo is at Madrid, he may not get that opportunity to develop into that type of player.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

Please...that is a silly argument based wholly on a buffoon believing that a fair reflection of Bale's influence on the team would be to take his goals out and see where we would have finished up. That means we would have been condemned to play the same formation and with ten players, while everyone else got to play with 11, their most important player and their preferred formation. The fact is that AVB specifically set his formation up to take advantage of Bale's skill-set. The only way it would have any validity at all, and that is still not a lot, would be if every other clubs' most important player was removed, and/or we all replaced that player and altered formations.

And the whole bluddy notion is underpinned by the idea that it is alright for United to have a player like RVP, or Chelsea have a player like Mata, but there is some kind of transgression of an immutable law for Spurs to have a fecking good player

It's an argument you don't agree with. It's not silly.

Good day to you SP, I have no intention to get into a fracas with you.

Why are you crying and chewing on your used tampax over a rating?

My reasoning is we've sold a player and bought several top-class players in return. I'm sad about it, but Tottenham Hotspur are better off for it.

I don't condone the behaviour, but, hate the game, not the players.

You got a Spam rating because Gareth Bale was pulling the world's best Right Back apart nearly 3 years ago, not 18 months ago, and never looked back after that. A bit more than just 'A season and a half'.

You could say Maicon never recovered after that either.

2.5 seasons as a very good player, 1/2 a season a true superstar. (minus all games he was up against phil neville)

 

[Shea]

Just hope that we have a first refusal if it all goes tits up, would hate him back in the PL with someone else

Even if we had first refusal

If he was coming back to the PL but only wanted to play for say Man U or Chelsea - what good would that first refusal be if the player himself would not resign for us?

 

[Reece]

I wouldn't want first refusal on a player who left us in such acrimony. Or maybe I would.. just to refuse him once we'd won the league

Truthfully, my response to any post you made was going to be that I had no interest in getting into a fracas with you...


...but, sorry, the original post stands. It is not just an argument I disagree with, for the reasons given, it is a meaningless argument, and, being meaningless, is silly. You can't unilaterally declare that we should play the whole season with a formation designed to maximise the effectiveness of Bale, just without Bale or any replacement, while all other teams get to play with 11, including their most valuable player, and that shows the effectiveness of Bale, or where we would have finished without him.It is a nonsense argument /of.

[Teddy Klinsmann]

In many ways he was fantastic and this was due to his pure pace and power and strength. Hoddle was pure skill and brilliance, and Gazza was a mixture of Hoddle and Bale.

 

[Mullers]

The only thing he has done wrong is miss training, all the rest of it, i.e faking injury, not talking to team mates is pure speculation. Yes missing training was wrong, AVB is not holding any ill feeling towards Bale about it, so I don't see why anyone else should really.

 

[Blake Griffin]

good luck gareth, you can fulfill your dream now:

 

[StartingPrice]

Why you little...

 

[mrlilywhite]

Hoddle, Blanchflower, Bill nic, Gazza & Greavsie...Spurs legends. Bale, Modric, Berbatov....Contemptus

 

[dynamoSpurs]

best spurs player ever imo

[Bobbins]

How can anyone wish him luck when he is showing huge disrespect to the club, the fans, his team mates and AVB?

When Carrick left for a lot of money I wished him luck, I did the same with VDV. There is a right way and wrong way to do things, Bale is doing things the wrong way, so doesn't deserve us wishing him luck at all imo.

Yep, exactly this. I was going to use Carrick myself as an example.

Bale did everything right until the Far East Tour - then his arse injury, his foot 'injury' and finally the not turning up this week has ruined 7 years of goodwill built up around him.

If he'd just not done this stupid AWOL thing, if he'd come into training and even if he'd not played, I would've thanked him for his service and his stunning goals (though not wished him luck, because I would much prefer him to fail and come back to us in a year or two), and left it at that.

Unfortunately he's decided that the £70,000 a week he gets paid by the club doesn't mean that the fans, staff, players and the club itself deserve any respect, and he's decided to follow that saggy-faced old twat of an agent's advice and mugged us off.

In a 7 year career at the club where he has been treated incredibly well (when he was a bit shit, when he was on that terrible run, when he first joined and we moved mountains to make him and his family feel comfortable, when he was rewarded every season with a new contract and more money), he has single-handedly managed to ruin everything just by acting like a spoilt brat for what is literally the last few days of his time at the club.

What an idiot you are Gareth. I'll look back on your goals with pleasant memories, and I'll never forget when my girlfriend and I were at the Lane on Valentines as you won the game in the last second with a stunning free-kick, but you don't get my blessings anymore. Now you're just some bloke who plays for the most vile and corrupt club in football.

Out of sight out of mind.

Oh and PS Don't you dare fail in Madrid and then come back to England via another club! Levy better have first option.

 

[lilywhitecurtis]

Pretty harsh that the OP has got ratings like that. Bale has been fantastic in the last 3 seasons and a pleasure to watch. He should be playing at the highest level i.e the Champions League and I think he's got us an excellent deal.

Agree with the gist but this last point is, as always, a misnomer. We may have a right of first refusal just like the Goons do over Cesc but any deal to re-sign him would be dependent on him wanting to come here- just like any transfer deal.

 

[Acid]

Yeah good luck Garath, break a leg. -_-

 

[Shadydan]

The way he's acted these last few weeks has tarnished his reputation but these wounds will heal over time just like they have with Berbatov and to a certain extent Modric.

I thank him for his services to this club and TBH I want him to do well for Real Madrid, purely from the perspective of Tottenham, the club where he grew up, graduated and became a world beater - the player he is today.

 

[StartingPrice]

He may find himself on the bench more than he would wish.

RM may win nothing this season.

We may win some silverware this season.

What goes around often does come around and Karma may kick in.

That would be the ultimate, wouldn't it...we continue to build and win the EPL, Barca continue to biatch slap RM on their way to another year of dominating the top flight of Spanish football, Little Luka and Gareth sitting in their hotel room, eating peanuts and watching dewy eyed as we are crowned EPL Champions and they dream of what could have been :giggle:
