Messi - Ronaldo - Neymar - Bale

So basically what I said? Then you started saying ridiculous things? Lol.

Lol you didn't like my Bertrand comment?

£85m for bale. levy must be sitting there piddling himself laughing.

so, in theory, bale is worth more than ronaldo. a man who over three seasons has averaged more than a goal a game.

the distance between ronaldo and bale is about the same as that between lampard and barton. except i dont think bale is so deluded that he actually believes he is as good.

this move will end very, very badly.

Only his 2nd start for Madrid, weird how people are judged after such little time.

Ignoring the scandalous price tag, he'll need time to find his best form, and perhaps a full season to settle in. As a Madrid fan, I won't pass judgement until next season.

Madrid's formation yesterday was ideal for him to be able to get at Barça, but our game plan wasn't. The fact we pressed high instead of sitting deep didn't really fit in with that line up.

price tag....Torres...

I think Bale would have been better staying in the PL. I think a move to Utd would have been best for him because I could have seen him tearing it up at Old Trafford.

I also think he will fail at Real Madrid for several reasons and will be back in the PL within two years.

From what I understand many of the Real Madrid players were very unhappy that the club sold Ozil who has been such a key player for them.

When you see how much of a difference Ozil has already made to Arsenal you can understand why.

Bale has come in with a huge price tag on him and he will be under great pressure to prove himself to both the fans as well as his fellow players that he is good enough.

Factor in that Bale is in a different country with a different language and you begin to understand the size of the task that faces Bale. Its a much more difficult environment than the comfort zone that was Spurs.

Thats why I think that Bale will fail to impress and will be back in the PL within two years.

He'll always be an understudy to Ron..that'll be the trouble I suspect

Sheriff I agree,it will be more of a psychological problem than anything else,
his strength of character and mental maturity
will need to develope quite a bit .
