Re: Cristiano Bale Appreciation Thread.

[FennecFox7]

i never said bale wasn't good either. Just countering the argument that di maria was so much worse then bale (think i did it in another thread).

Also, Bale isn't free from criticism. As aggravating as it may be to hear me and chads ranting, its still true. and bale kills a lot of our attacks. if it were up to me he would move to cf, but thats benzemas spot

[Arquitecto]

I can understand the process behind your opinion, Zac but it would be useless replacing Ethically Defensive Midfielder Karim Benzema with Bale as CF, as quite frankly the former is a better player, much better actually.

[Curtinho]

Benzema is not better than Bale.

I wonder how a player goes from being the best player in the EPL to a scrub overnight despite being a key part of winning major trophies for Real Madrid. Surely, this guy is a scrub.

[Arquitecto]

1. Bale not at anytime was the best player in the Premiership.

2. No one or nowhere has it been implied that Bale is a 'scrub' as such polarities in comprehending posts usually won't help in convincing anyone.

3. There is little basis in career accomplishment, consistency, and overall ability as a footballer in even implying Bale's superiority to Benzema.

Benzema is just a better player. Others will likely agree with me.

[Curtinho]

That's fine and dandy if a few people on the internet disagree with me. However I would think that many people (including actual professional players) believed Bale was the best player there given he won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award 2 of 3 years before leaving the EPL (as well as the YPY and FWA).

There's really no basis for Benzema being better than Bale. Bale is clearly a superior footballer and younger. I have no idea where all this Bale hate came from but he is amongst the best in the world.

I never said bale was a bad player, i just said he is playing like a donkey cause that what i see happening, if everyone can praise him, why can't he be criticized? someone explain to me how he was good in the finals? or against atleti?

let me repeat, I liked the way bale played in his first few games, very clean and complete, now he is standing on the ball and just losing it, trying to do whatever how can you all praise that?... lay off the kool-aid, watch the whole game and not snippets

edit: so you can play like crap as long as your determined, so if madrid lost bale would have been destroyed come on now, i like the guy ffs , he alright but he needs to snap out of it, the mini cr thing is getting ridiculous now tbh, just play his game, keep simple and let the magic happen

Exactly.

against high pressing teams i would use bale and instruct him to make runs, since hes much faster then benz and put benz behind him. then again i'm not the coach

Bale amongst the best in the world

ok dude. Have a seat

[Curtinho]

Benzema much better yet as the CF has 1 more goal and 5 less assists in 8 more games last season. How many important goals did he score again? How many individual awards does he have? First year with RM and is a key part of them winning "La Decima" how long has Benz been there again?

Oh, but that was all Di Maria I forgot. Best RM player in history. I feel like if Bale was Brazilian or Swedish (or was developed anywhere but the EPL) his hype would be unreal. It is what it is though. How many wingers scored 19 goals and 16 assists last year?

[Valkyrja]

The bale we know and love

Its always been mental for him. And he still has qualities like i said.

[Zealous]

[Vibe]

From 3 million Southampton defender to 100 million Real Madrid forward

[Zealous]

91 million

But yeah

[Rossoneri Ninja]

I liked Bale before he was cool doe.

His transformation was glorious to watch, but i wish that Milan's 10 million offer some years ago went through

If ya'll doubt if i was truly a Bale fan i've got multiple Football Manager 08 Saves which can prove it

[M99]

Bale was a 99 rated LB in my FIFA 07 manager mode.

nice effort though, you can tell he prepared the questions and answers, but he is still going through a lot of questions, which means intense preparation but he clearly knew what to answer all the time.

[Doc]

He should also work on trapping a ball cleanly. Heard that also helps with a footballer's time in Spain.

[Thimmy]

LOL!
