How does Bale have himself to blame for being injured? Moving away from our medical department was probably a wise move.
Comparing him to Woodgate is ridiculous, he made a grand total of 13 apps in 3 seasons and Bale's already on 30 in 5 months. Using the fact that Madrid's statements about his injuries have been vague is laughable, are there any clubs that put out medical documents specifically stating what's gone wrong with a player's fitness when they miss a game? Astounding journalism.
Bale was always injury prone in his early days with us, from ankle injuries, to lower back injuries (which became back when he moved to Madrid). I certainly hope he can become the player we all know he can be. But we'll never see Bale like we did last year, it was incredible.
Bale may have been statistically impressive so far but watching him he only looks 50% of the player we know.
