Gareth Bale - What Do You Make Of Him?


Critics from all around the UK are already branding the Welsh 17-year old a revelation!

Bale, our first summer signing, joined from Southampton for £5 million plus additional fee's.

Many ex-pros are tipping the attacking fullback to have a very promising future. But what do you make of him? Have you seen Bale play either whilst he was in the Championship or at International level?

Do you think paying £5+ million for an unproven player is worth the risk?

Have your say.....

  1. Gareth Bale is an outstandingly good professional that will excel at Tottenham if given the chance to prove himself.

    He's the type of player that will spend hours by himself on the training pitch, practicing his free-kicks.

    We are extremely fortunate to have him at our club.
  2. he's British, young and is naturally left footed!

    a very rare creature indeed.

    top 4 beckons if we find the matching winger for that side of the pitch.
  3. I'm just concerned that if we do sign Nani (that's not my concern, it'd be quality) we'l have a very inexperienced left flank. I Spurs at least Ledley is the left sided centre back....
  4. Fair enough Brian but at present we have NO left side worth speaking of. Both players mentioned have at least played those positions, albeit not in the Prem. I think the future is looking incredibly promising.
  5. It's worth taking a £5m gamble even if it doesn't work out. Ferguson was after him too, which shows our ambition - when's the last time we beat ManU to a signing?

    I hear that Fergie did see him as a left winger though... might it be worth signing Shorey or Baines and moving Bale up the pitch?

    Now we need to put in a £30m bid for Tevez. He might even come, we've got a good record with Argentinians.
  6. The last time we signed someone who Ferguson wanted was when we signed Berbatov! Oh dear, isn't that sad!!
  7. An excellent signing in many ways. If he is half as good as the hype then we will be well pleased. Great work by all concerned who got him to sign. I think he could be the best left back since "Nice one Cyril".
  8. Agree Brian, but i'd rather have a promising left footed, free kicking demon (albeit inexperienced) prospect than a right footed useless frustration of a footballer (Wipee), or Tony Gardner!!!

    And Nani would be welcome on the wing anyday, what we have now is right footed central midfielders or a right winger who play there.

    Hopefully we wil finally sign a (quality) Left Footed Left Winger to complement Lennon on the right, and Bale at LB.
  9. Nani is right footed, so would not naturally fit in well on the left, despite being of high quality, sadly i do not feel this transer likey, nor about to solve 'the left sided problem'.
  10. people you need to forget this nani mug.
  11. nani is right footed ,but gramps is two footed and can play as a striker
  12. Oi poshspurs,wheres the jude law interview !

    Show us your Baps !
  13. He looks good to me. How many times this season have our attacks broken down when Lee has had to cut in on his right foot instead of crossing first time?

    I'd be more interested in pairing him with the powerful Keite from Lille who is more experienced than Nani and has amazing skills.
  14. my mates a saints fan so i've been down there a few times last season and i have to say that the by posses a Great LEFT foot still very young with alot to learn but will be worth the money
  15. i think that Bale is absolute quality and a must as far as signing him is concerned.
    he guarantees at least 3-5 goals a season in 3 kicks alone.
    he has a sweet left foot, can play the ball the spurs way and he will only get better.
