Ok let's get it out there. I've NEVER liked Gareth Bale the person. Player was god like. Somehow never warmed to him and think he never really got us.

Actually thought Friedel was a top bloke and a top keeper.Adebayor, Gallas, Clint Dempsey, Brad Friedel (nothing against the human but I thought he was gash, he did OK though), Brown and Bale the 2nd time around.
Good call - soon grew to love him thoughKlinsmann surely. Cheating diving German c*** before he joined us.
By all accounts, he's actually not, he's just an abhorrent Footballer.I'll be honest, if we had signed Suarez I would have turned a blind eye even though he's an abhorrent person.

Spurs fans were euphoric that we got Klinsmann. When he got his first goal and dived, that sealed the deal.Klinsmann surely. Cheating diving German c*** before he joined us.
I think its becaues of this picture. Something very weird about it.
He was demonised in Italia 90. Once he joined us that was quickly forgotten.Spurs fans were euphoric that we got Klinsmann. When he got his first goal and dived, that sealed the deal.
I cannot recall anyone hating us getting him or hating him at all.
Mind you, t'internet wasn't around then.
He was German and a cheating diving German at that - there were plenty who didn’t want him originally but like you say once he started banging the goals in and playing with a smile on his face not to mention his charm and articulate interviews he soon won people roundSpurs fans were euphoric that we got Klinsmann. When he got his first goal and dived, that sealed the deal.

The dive against Wednesday definitely shifted the consensus.
His first run out for us in a pre season at Watford was mental.Spurs fans were euphoric that we got Klinsmann. When he got his first goal and dived, that sealed the deal.

Can't remember who it was, possibly a Portsmouth player, but he dived in a game in the late 90s and got a huge amount of abuse.Diving at the time was also quite new for our league or at least wasn’t accepted in the way it is now. But quality is quality and he was quality.
The question is, what you thought about him the day before we signed him.Spurs fans were euphoric that we got Klinsmann. When he got his first goal and dived, that sealed the deal.
