I'm not sure anyone could actually pass on Ronaldo and Messi, but it's a closer call than Bale. The team would have to carry the former two defensively, which may not ruin the chemistry, but it would change the ethos of the team spirit which has carried us this far. Bale is behind the other two in ability (though he has a few years on them), but he would be much more likely to let his ego go and work as part of the unit. He has the defensive skills given his initial position as a FB and I think his struggle during his first years with us has made him more humble.

mate my point was it is madness to suggest we wouldn't want him back. Position can be argued but he is one of the best footballers on the planet period. I mean we are debating over bringing in Austin, Pato and Berahino ffs.
There isn't a single football club in the world that wouldn't take Gareth Bale (bar maybe BArcelona) so to suggest we wouldn't want him his just silly. I get some still feel like jilted lovers and we have done well moving on from him but I am just being real here if he said he wanted to come back and we could afford him everyone would be creaming themselves (and rightfully so)

He was a shit full back tbh.
Oh, I know. Might not have made it clear, but I was trying to emphasize your point further. There's some superstars where the disrupetive influence might outweigh their ability no matter how good they are (I wouldn't want Zlatan anywhere near our club for instance). Even comtemplating passing on bringing Bale would be sheer madness because he brings world class ability combined with more work ethic than ego.
True, but you can be Justin Edinburgh level full back and still be 1000 times better than Ronaldo at winning the ball back and cutting out passing lanes.
I guess Bale would just about cut it as cover for Kane...
In a pinch.
In a pinch.
Yes, that's a fair point.
Bale isn't coming back this season chaps. Someone needs to point that out. Not to mention That we can't actually afford him.
Ha I know he's not.
Fuck him!
Fuck his ego!
Fuck his hair!
Fuck his pinned back ears!
Fuck his pathetic heart celebration!
Fuck his solo laps of honour around WHL!
Fuck him, he loves someone else.
Fuck him then?
Just like that silly old twat Warnock who was harping on about "ee, bye-gum, I reckun Pallis will finish abuv Spurz, me" a couple months back on Talkshite.
"Ee, I reckun Pallis av got a better teem than them Spurs, me"
Fuck off, you silly old twat.
