The Demon of Carthage wrote:He helped us win the 2011 CDR final against Barça with his header though, not to mention scoring the winner in the 2012 title decider against Barça at Camp Nou. But I do agree with the general consensus that he wasn't generally a big game player before 2013.

After that, he became a monster.

Selective memory is a big thing lol. Apart from those goals, he also scored in 08 CL final and in semi-finals where Real got knocked out. Even in Euro 12 he scored winners in two make or break mathes for Portugal.

Sure he got even better later but he was not Immobile either. To say he was "very poor" in his first 4 years in Madrid is laughable.

Ronaldo has always been a big game player hes just much more efficient now. Give ronaldo 3 good chances hes definitely burying 1. Back then he'd create like 8 or 9 chances himself and score 1 but now hes just playing much smarter

So has this guy returned to his previous form or has spurs fans/ EPL fans finally figure out this guy has been useless since 2018?

by Mr Nick09 18/12/2020, 05:49

Of course not, he is trash, being in London doesn’t change that

he only starts in Europa matches, hasn't really had much of an impact on the pitch

Don't see "poor misunderstood Bale" written anywhere

Thought Zidane was a tyrant and Bale was being unfairly marginalised

Bale also didn't even have Zidane as his top 3 coaches. No way back for this guy :coffee:

by Hapless_Hans 18/12/2020, 11:25

tbf to Bale noone with eyes would have Zidane as a top 3 coach, marginalised or not

by Arquitecto 18/12/2020, 12:49

The whole victim portrayal of Bale has not heard a peep since he arrived for Tottenham in which he has had close to no impact at all beyond a game or two at best.

Long finished player and not good enough for Spurs as it is. Better to begin golf where you can play up to even 70.

by Chad31 18/12/2020, 17:47

Whether bale is a victim or not doesn't change the fact is has more impact than any Spanish scrub Zidane has tried to force in front of him, and is easily a madrid legend, no amount of narratives can change that.

by Mr Nick09 18/12/2020, 19:51

Your definition of Madrid legends is about as shit as your posts. Lucas Vasquez is more of a club legend that Bale lmao

by Thimmy 18/12/2020, 20:40

It’s a fair argument that he qualifies to be a club legend, purely based on his accomplishments. I would assume there’s more to it than that, though. He didn’t leave the club under positive circumstances, and I imagine a lot of people will remember him for his more recent antics, both on and off the field.

I don’t know how much circumstances play into the official crowning of a club legend, but I wouldn’t be quite comfortable with him being one, considering he’s been quite open about harboring some degree of resentment towards the club.

by Doc 19/12/2020, 04:59

After the snub he did on Vasquez, Bale wouldn't be a club legend for the Madrid based fans. The international base would fight it down but Bale would probably not make it pass the "iconic" section.

Out of his 100+ goals for Madrid, i remember maybe 2 of them

Exactly.
There's the overhead scissor kick goal to win the 2018 CL final, his other goal in that final maybe.
What else? The goal to win the 2014 CL final? Apart from that, yawning emptiness.

Forgettable career.

I can think of two. I one mentioned above and the one were he outran Busquets.

So basically someone is calling him a legend for two moments, not to mention in those two games, He was a non factor for rest of game.

Well you can remember one. He outran Bartra.

by Zagadka 20/12/2020, 17:30

The guy barely looks Championship quality anymore.

What a waste of space, loan and wages so far...

Looks as spent and finished as Sanchez.

Would be great if his agents talks to the media about how Bale is unhappy and would like to go play somewhere else.

by futbol_bill 20/12/2020, 17:59

I project that Tottenham will not renew the loan nor buy and thus he will return to R. Madrid books!

and that probably means a buyout of final year of contract. And once again, Bale screws up the financial budget for Madrid!

MLS next for him surely. There are some amazing golf courses there.

Since BBC trio separated:

Cristiano: 81 Goals. 19 Assists.
Benzema: 67 Goals. 25 Assists.
Bale: 19 Goals. 9 Assists. pic.twitter.com/ni4s1NAb2t

Nonsense stat when Bale wasn't allowed to play. In minutes per goal or assist he's probably better than the two

He's really not though. Looked at transfermarkt, he takes 50% more minutes than Benzema and 100% more than Ronaldo per G+A.

by Perucho21 20/12/2020, 23:12

My question was due to the fact that Madrid were portrayed as an essence of evil and stupidly for letting Bale go, and that the British media continue to portray him as a one of the world's top players when he hasn't been for a couple of years now. I remember the amount of crap Madrid got when Bale left, like when spurs fans flipped out because of the wording of our communicado official about Bale Laughing

I can bring peace to it now that finally EPL fans finally see Bale for what he has been since the 2018 UCL final and that's a glorified bench warmer. I remember that tweet DoC posted of that spurs fans saying they've sign the 3rd best player in the world Laughing

I dont hate Bale and highly regard his clutch moments (I still wouldn't call him legend) but he bought all of this upon himself. Blame Zidane all you want but the man won la liga without Bale and with Benzema ( the least popular of the greatest trio BBC) leading the teams offense. He had all the reason to bench Bale.

https://youtu.be/3EsqpF-W_wQ

Take a look at that video and tell me you dont cringe when you see Bale trying to communicate with the team. "I didnt understand a word you just said" what an absolute clown. But but but its Madrid and Zidane fault Laughing
