Gareth Bale

[Lilbaz]

The rest of what he said hints at staying. Confusing.


Bale lauded his teammate when asked post-match how much of a hole Kane's possible departure could leave.

"He's a fantastic player, no-one can deny that. He's had another fantastic season again, he's a top player, everyone wants him here at the club.," he said.

"He's a massive player for us and everyone wants him to stay with us."

That’s because bale is staying

Perhaps the new DoF or manager has told him he wants him to stay. Hence the ‘chaos’ comment.

Maybe it's Zidane

I think this is our 3rd kit for next season.
Might be the Wales shirt as I think he is 11 for them. Opinions?

Did you see Maddison's neck tattoos today? Classy guy. Will fit right in at the Goons.

Wtf is that real.

Doesn’t sound like he’s staying to me.

Why would maintaining the status quo result in chaos?

Chaos, as in how complex the situation is? We could have a manager agreed, who wants to keep Bale. But he can't talk about it? Idk maybe that is overthinking it.

No
Sounds plausible
Or as much in that he has decided go stay but that could cause chaos at Madrid as they may want to sell him

This is going to be like the Poch “be brave” quote isn’t it!!

Don't we have an option on a second year? I know Bale said he wasn't staying earlier in the season, but that seemed a reaction to Mourinho dropping him.

Depends who you believe
I think w want have but I’m guessing TBH

 

[Surfless]

If its the same arrangement funds wise I'd keep him around. He's a winner, he loves the club and if we need goals due to being de-kaned then it won't hurt with his pedigree.

Even if we do - he has to accept it. Depends on what he wants, really, but once the Euros are over, it makes no difference to him whether he earns 600k at Madrid or 600k here (with Madrid taking up 400k of it). Key is playing time, and unless there's a team that wants to buy him and play him, he might get more out of a second season here, in a stadium with fans who love him.

Playing regularly too. Rather than sitting on the bench.

 

[Caitano]

Does Bale get an assist for his second goal?

 

[SteveAWOL]

Yup, Maddison is a dirty Goon which is why I’m kind as glad we never signed him!

 

[metalgear]

Stats don't lie but he needs to be properly managed. Coming on as a sub certainly works to me so best as third striker/plan c. We still need to replace kane but the urgency and risk is less if Bale is around.

More PL goals than Sterling, Aubemanyoang and Cavani this season. His 11 goals is the same as Mane, Zaha and Rashford.

Only in considerably less playing time.

Bale has averaged one goal per 84 PL minutes this season. No one in the top 20 goalscorers are close to that.

I say keep him.

Agreed. Bale has the best minutes-per-goal since Solskjaer in 1999 and I think that being a super-sub is also the best role for him, with the occasional start against teams who will be parking the bus; as not convinced he has the fitness for 90 minutes tracking back every week nowadays and don’t want to be relying upon Sissoko having to be his minder so that our RB won’t get overrun.
