Ancelotti will play Bale on the right, according to the BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24065649
I think LB would be a NIGHTMARE starting spot for Bale himself. He is not fully match fit and probably hasn't played LB in well over a year (or more?). So, that opens up the possibility that he makes 2 mental slips or gets caught in possession up the pitch allowing attackers to get in behind him, and his debut is remembered for shipping 2 goals with schoolboy defending. €100m for this guy?? Ouch. White hankie time.
In general though, it's been said for some time that if Bale were a continental player LB would be his natural starting position, so I can see it happening. There's also a case, as metalgear says, that having the whole pitch in front of him to run into makes him more scary than just half of it.
I hope he does well either way.
Ronaldo is a ****er
Looks as though he intended to hurt Bale and more than once.

How could you tell? His back was to the camera the whole time.Bale looked terrified by just nutmegging Ronaldo :lol:
Bale must have upset many young Spurs fans by moving to Real. My 9-year old nephew was a big Bale fan until a few weeks ago. A few days ago, when they showed Bale shaking hands with Ronaldo, my nephew got so mad that he was reaching for his shoes/sandals/slipper to throw at the TV set. He warned he would destroy the TV set if they show Bale wearing a Real shirt again.:lol:
