Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

[George94]

Still won’t use his right foot!

He plays on the left!!

 

[pedrodelawasp]

Some of his finishing is insane.

I have missed that beautiful left foot so much.

That Beautiful Left Foot presumably has a little less in the way of bleakness than My Left Foot? Like a remake, only it’s a musical?

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Love it. And I’m on my third viewing of All Or Nothing; that training ground never gets shabby

More gammon than a butcher’s window

40th birthday in a pandemic had some advantages...real class gifts!
Sorry not a Bale update, but this became my most joyous thread? COYS

Thought I was in the Rudiger thread for a sec there.

 

[Hazelton]

Such a shame there won't be any fans against West Ham, imagine the scenes if he came off the bench and scored a late winner.

You were born on the same day as Ledley King... born to be a yid!

Quite amusing seeing some of the responses from rival fans to those clips of him in training. Think the golf memes and Madrid drama have made a lot of people forget how good Gareth f*cking Bale is. Think it’s dawning on a few people that he remains one of the best players on the planet. And that he’s not coming back to try and carry an average side. He’s coming back to play with two more of the best attacking players on the planet. And that’s a scary thought for rival fans. If that attacking trident stays fit and in the groove and we can keep a solid base behind and good supply line up to them this season then we’re a massive problem for anyone. I can’t wait.

Poor Joe Hart is made to look terrible in these promo vids.

Drives me nuts. The conventional wisdom on cesspools like Twitter and Reddit seems to be that Gareth Fucking Bale has become abject dogshit. There doesn't seem to be any acknowledgement that he'd been playing under a manager who despised him, publicly mocked him and ostracized him for the past two seasons.

Now that he's back at a club that gives him the love and respect he deserves I think Bale will have the bit between his teeth to prove his doubters wrong, and it will be a sight to behold.

Football fans tend to go to the extremes when discussing players; either a player is useless or he's the reincarnation of Maradona.

I doubt we'll see the very best of Bale, as those days are probably behind him, but we'll still see a world class forward.

I think we'll also see more of Bale's experience and winning mentality, rather than his blistering pace and power. Subtle movements, passes and cheeky finishes, rather than tearing around the pitch at every opportunity.

And finally, it's already been mentioned that Bale isn't joining a mid-table club who are pinning all their hopes on him getting them into Europe. He's joining a Top 4 club (arguably), coached by a legendary manager, who don't necessarily need him to win things. But since we have him, he'll add even more value to the squad and hopefully give us that extra something to bring home the silverware!

Waiting for him to be fit so can chuck him into my fantasy football team alongside Son and Kane.

Chucked him in as soon as he became available to pick

Where can I find these responses from rival fans please? I need a good start to the day.

Good post. Beats me how you got a “spam” and a “disagree”.

Does SC have a fantasy league?

Maradona was a cheating, coke snorting, overrated, useless git.

And: he wasn’t tall enough.

 

[RikkiRocket]

Ok. He’s in my FF team. Front 3 of S. K and GB.

Gonna rip it up - GB had better play otherwise I’ve just spunked 9 odd mill up the wall and had a huge over haul to fit him in. ?
