"Good God! I don't even know what to say to this anymore.
Bale would play for Real Madrid Castilla if he went to La Liga.
He's nowhere near Madrid standards. Ridiculous.
So much hype surrounding this headless chicken."

Dubbed, do you really think so, or is it because he plays for the potatoes?

He is an explosive player, technically he's behind of likes of Sanchez, Di Maria and players of that ilk, but he'd be in Madrid's starting 11 I think.

In terms of close control and ghosting past players. Honestly I have never seen another arsenal player with close control like Hleb had

Would Nasri be welcomed back here do you think? I don't think he left in as bad a way as RvP or Cesc did to be fair.

I think Cazorla's close control is just as good as Hleb's.

Hleb was nothing special imo. Excellent dribbler, decent vision, never really offered much in front of goal though.

Bale would be a starter in Madrid XI. Rate him or not he gives you an option not many can. I can only think if Ronaldo who can match him for power and pace.

Nasri thinks he is better than he is, most ineffective player I have seen in an arsenal shirt.

Has nothing to do with him playing for Tottenham. I don't judge players based on that.

You guys are seriously getting conned by all this hype. Especially Batmanu. He's been conned plenty of times, wanting us to sign the likes of Carlton Cole, Sessègnon, Holliet, etc, after a few decent games.

Bale's at his level now.

Going to La Liga would kills his career. He would be so easy to play against.
You think that b'ullshit running through players would work in La Liga?
He would be found out. Not forgetting his nowhere near Real standards,

Dubbed

Bale is the best winger in the league. Name 3 Premier League wingers who are better than him.

Wouldn't mind Nasri coming back. Think he left mainly for money IMO, but if we didn't sign anyone who plays for wages we'd be left with a pretty threadbare squad

Cazorla control is very good but they way Hleb did it was very distinctive. It's the ball to feet magnet skills that he had.

Dubbed, just because he is not a technical wizard doesn't make him a headless chicken or not Madrid standards. What a load of garbage, he is easily the best winger in the PL, probably top 3 in Europe. He is going to be a star whether the media overyhype him or not.

Ahead of who? Di Maria? Ronaldo? Left back ahead of Marcelo and Coentrao?

Give it a few months and you'll all forget about Bale. I promise you.
He'll just be another good player.

So where would Bale play in the Madrid team? Left wing? Yes, i suppose their current left sided forward is pretty poor...

Bale is a player built for the premier league. His pace, power and crossing ability wouldn't serve him much in la liga.

The only team in Europe Bale wouldn't get in to is the team that is going to maul us in 2 weeks.

I think he'd played wide right. Di Maria has played through the middle plenty of times.

Ronaldo can play in either wings so Bale would be left Di Maria will challenge Bale. Bale would be an asset to any team in the world.

"Bale is the best winger in the league. Name 3 Premier League wingers who are better than him."

Nani is better than him. Then probably he comes after that.

"Dubbed, just because he is not a technical wizard doesn't make him a headless chicken or not Madrid standards. What a load of garbage, he is easily the best winger in the PL, probably top 3 in Europe. He is going to be a star whether the media overyhype him or not."

Top 3! Okay then.

He's a headless chicken because he plays one way. 180mph football.
All the other top players have another side to their game. They can switch up their play. In fact, all the top winger have good technique.
That's what good technique allows. Adaptability. You can roam about easily, creating space.

This crossing ability is a myth I think though. 1 assist in 22 PL games this season (which was a sideways pass I think, not a cross) should highlight this.

So either Di Maria would be pushed to another position, preferably central?
And then Real would have to bench one of the best players in the world Ozil, so that Cristiano Bale can ply his trade on the right?
Makes a lot of sense.

Bale hype is laughable, he will never succeed at a big club

Who says he won't? If he goea to utd cos he'll succeed.

I must have imagined Bale switching wings, and playing as a number 10 for a lot of this season then.

He is not 1 dimensional at all, he has good technique, a strong right foot, can cut in, can create, can cross, is a hell of a finisher. He is a beast physically, you add all of that up and he would succeed no matter where he goes.

Watch the last 10 mins of the Spúds match yesterday, they hoofed the ball up to him 3 times and at full throttle he was able to take the ball down into his path with ease. Most players just let the ball bounce off him. Because he is quick and British people automatically assume he is average technically but if anything his touch and technique is very underrated.
