Gareth Bale is...The most expensive player ever?!

Have I missed something? All of a sudden everybody's claiming Bale's the best player there is, Capello, Redknapp, Berbatov etc.

What's ridiculous about this is we have three of the greatest players ever playing at their peaks at the moment (Xavi, C.Ronaldo and Messi) and these spastics are rating Bale above them. Bale's a good player, but I wouldn't put him in the team ahead of Nani or Valencia, let alone shunt out a Ronaldo or a Messi.
 
Apart from his manager and a dubious interpretation of comments from Capello, has anybody actually claimed he's the best player in the world?
 
Just signed a 4 year extension with Spurs....keeping him there until 2015.

Actually it's a one year extension (to the contract he already had running until 2014) .... presumably on improved wages.
 
Well thats good news because that means he probably won't get poached by Chelsea/City unless a ridiculous amount of money is handed over to Spurs.

We don't overly need fast/skillful wingers, they do.
 
You absolute shit house. If 'Arry still thinks this chimp can play as a left back he needs his head testing.

Schalke scored 7 against Inter, Bale scored a hat trick against them. Conclusion? Inter have made people look good this year.
 
Gareth Bale is useless against any decent full back. Utd should stay well clear.
 
A decent player.

But player of the year is a fecking joke.

A few hollywood performances and he is called the best in the world by Capello. WTF?
 
Put him against a full-back who can defend and he seems clueless, play him at LB & he seems lost. Maybe it's just a dip in form or maybe recent performances prove he's not as good as people make him out to be. Still a young player so should improve.
 
2 months ago, most of redcafe were hailing him as one of the best players in the premiership.

Now.. how things change :lol:

Fickle football fans.

I admit, all the over hype has got quite annoying, without that, people would appreciate him more.
 
Looks like i wasnt wrong after all when i said all he does is "kick and run". When that doesnt work he's almost useless. Defenders who get close to him dont have much trouble dealing with him at all.
 
he was invisible today and has been poor for the past few months, player of the year my arse.
 
Massively at fault for the winning goal. More so than the linesman.
