Gareth Bale - Injury history
Let's pay £100m and 300k a week for a crock.
You do only get fitter into your 30's.

He lost that 2 season ago already but would still offer miles more than Lamela or Moura for example - all assuming he stays fit
Anyway - never gonna happen
We would not ask him to play 60 games a year, he would play selectively in key matches. He has the quality to help us get over the line against the really top teams. We know we don't have that today.
You can't rely on him to be fit for those games you identify.
Any player is better than an injured one.
so if you look at the table in the link it says he has missed 8 games this season. In terms of his general condition he is fitter than the butcher's dog.Gareth Bale - Injury history

Obviously I can't say that he will never be injured, we could buy a less good player and there is also a risk that he could be injured.
Started 24 of a possible 45.
Can we do something like this for Harry Kane's injury history? Would be interesting to seeGareth Bale - Injury history

There is more of a risk with a guy who has had significant problems with 9 different parts of his anatomy.
That doesn't mean he was injured, it just means they rotate the squad.
Still not good enough for a £100m player on 300k a week.
We don't need our own Mesut Ozil.
Yeah, the cost thing is a problem ... that would kill it more than the injuries.
You keep mentioning these 3 players for some reason.
Yet the only one I may have ever showed any interest in was Berahino.
But is he a loner?
Bale would average 5 shots every match in his last season at spurs. At real he doesnt get to do that because Ronaldo had the right to do that. Of course he wasnt going to score as much playing second fiddle to Ronaldo. Not that hes much better in that department with Ronaldo gone.
Still dont want that dickhead back.
Were it my decision to make right now, I would probably not bring him back. There's just too many question marks which have been mentioned by about 37 people already: Injury proneness? Attitude and hunger? Wages and the effect on the rest of the squad if he gets a bumper deal? Would all lead me to a pass.
Thankfully, the moron that is me isn't the one to make that call. And the people making the calls are many things, but morons they are certainly not.
One, Levy and Poch as a pair will not make the deal if the combined fee and wages makes it so that we cannot add where Poch deems it most necessary. Two, Levy will not pay anyone, not least a potential crock, any amount that will mean the whole balance of our wage structure will tip. Three, Poch will not sign anyone who'll upset the equilibrium of the squad, who doesn't have the attitude and desire to be a positive part of what he's building etc.
On the final point, yeah we've had some duds in Poch's time in terms of on the field contribution, but none have to my recollection thrown out their toys out the pram publically (not even Janssen) and not even after leaving when it would be a more "free" dig at Poch.
On the evidence in front of us, fuck knows if we should bring him back. It's hard to argue the case against the cons of the move.
The clincher for me though is that team of people actually making the decision have a near perfect record so those arguments would be pretty much null and void, if we do go all out to bring him home. For that reason, despite being on the fence on whether I personally feel we should, am very, very, very much hoping we will, as it would be a massive game changer for us.

Put Bale in our glorious new home
It could be something special
