Perhaps in a few years, Bale will be the rampaging left wing-back, with a more defensive-minded Abidal-like player on the right.

Alves is still 28..
Plus we have Montoya for right back & GRIMALDO for left back

Sounds like a pokemon character lol

He's a very good young player lol tho, i seriously could see him becoming Barca's LB in a few years......

Dont rate Montoya tho.

Can't say, havnt seen either.

Bale is a fantastic player, but i dont know if Barca would play him as a LW or a LB.

If it is LB then it is fine, as he would be like a poor mans alves on the Left side ( defensively anyways ) and the move would make sense.

However he is the sort of LW barca plays, he doesn't cut in as he doesnt have a right foot, Unless he is played on the right side.

I will be glad if spurs lose him though

Agreed with everything about Bale. But a couple people have said Barca has no money, I don't really know where you guys are getting this from. If Barca want to spend 40 mill to get Bale they will do it and it wont even make a dent. No offense but I think it's just wishful thinking from some people.

Don't believe what Rosell says, a lot of what he says is to take shots at Laporta and it's propaganda. IF Barca want a player they will get him, I mean they were chasing Neymar FFS.

This really, He out ran ramos few times when we were playing them in White Hart Lane.

"I do not know whether Bale would be an interesting player for us," Rosell told Al Jazeera.

"However, even if I knew, I wouldn't admit it, because his price would go up. Tottenham would not ask for €40 million, but increase their asking price to €50 million.

"Either way, even if we wanted him, we would never pay €40 million for him."

Of course, this is Rosell were talking about, the guy who bought Fabregas for half his market value lmao, he can do it with Bale aswell.

This is my previous post,

"Agreed with everything about Bale. But a couple people have said Barca has no money, I don't really know where you guys are getting this from.

DO NOT BELIEVE ROSELL. It's all propaganda, we have money and if he wants Bale he will pay the money. He's not some hard nosed negotiator he just got lucky stealing Fab from Arsenal because he knew Barca was the only place Fab would go so he had all the leverage.

I mean look at Sanchez, it's not like we got some sweet deal for him.

Not needed, even as LB I don't see it working out.
