Gareth Bale Transfer Saga V.2

GL about to go civil war over a journo's honour

Other than Madrid, he's been inaccurate with reports in regards to Arsenal and PSG, both of which i follow too.  

As with every reporter, you have to identify the scope of his work.  I'm not dissing Di Marzio... just saying that i feel some people are making him out to be bigger than he is.

Nobody's saying that.Infact i agree with you.I just dont like why he is getting so much hate when infact whatever he is reported about this Bale's transfer has been right bar the price which sometimes you can get right sometimes you cant.Comparing him to an attention seeker like Ballague is quite pathetic tbh.

He was very accurate with Gustavo transfer too when he first mentioned that Wolfsburg are very interested.I've been reading his website since months and there's only one thing he got wrong and that is Digne's transfer when he said he will go to Monaco.Apart from that there literally has been no bsing.90% of them were true.

Agreed Surag


As for his prices, well most prices aren't even disclosed. So plenty of prices we have known for some time will infact be a bit off.

All this mad over him from Madrid fanboys is because he said Lewa rejected them Dat sensitivity

Same ones who think they're entitled to take players away from clubs because they want to.

Dat 50M Pogba - Vidal swoop

Di Marzio has very good sources in Bundi... I'm not sure if it's with every club or certain ones. But the few things of his i have read in regards to Bundi have been mostly accurate.

Anyhow, Di Marzio is great. I like him a lot

Dat irony

Bale being British means nothing. Absolutely nothing. He's Welsh; that's his footballing identity. The Scots, English, Welsh and Northern Irish care absolutely nothing for each other, especially when it comes to football.

Oh pls..Did you buy that gorgeous Juve away kit my dear Rebito ?

He's a very good journalist. He doesn't tend to bullshit but he obviously isn't going to be the best around for every single seperate club

So when somebody has some sort of personal vendetta against him, comparing him to gossipers, just seems like they're taking something he said/reported personally. Which is odd.

Not yet bro

the award for the most random post goes toooooooo the badger which post are you replying to mate

People like you who keep calling him British, that's who.

I was pointing out the irony in a juve fan calling others sensitive.

Italian ballsbag

well he IS British

And British people are even "supporting" the Irish despite them not being part of Britain. Theres just that sense of respect between the countries now compared to before. They will absolutely be behind him

Britain as a footballing entity doesn't exist. The gimmick at the Olympics, which was forced through by the FA, was simply to ensure Britain had competitors in ever sport at London 2012.

You've convinced yourself that him being British broadens his marketing appeal. It doesn't. He's from a nation of 3m, that has more sheep than people and cares more about rugby that footy.

And British people are even "supporting" the Irish despite them not being part of Britain. Theres just that sense of respect between the countries now compared to before. They will absolutely be behind him

I'm sorry, but this is absolute stinking horseshit. Do you even live in the UK?

I seriously doubt you'll find a more tense level of animosity and rivalry between England an the other nations in the British Isles.

He doesn't represent Britain, he represents Wales in the same way Beckham represented England.

Badger has a point to be fair

I live in Britain, and the hype factor that goes with young, promising English players does not extend to Welsh players. There is no extra hype because he's Welsh and every Welsh person in the country would have to buy a Bale top just to cover his transfer + some wages.

I said that

I think he will be great in marketing aspects but there are more football stars who are of British origins than just Bale. he will be one of the many

but imagine being the star of madrid.....people will finally come out of hiding and not be too embarrassed to say they support him *cough* lex *cough*

When it comes to football being British means that grand sum of nothing. Great Britain is a union of separate nations that have their own identity and representation at sport.

Bale is Welsh. He won't have the level of support from the English that someone like Beckham did when he played overseas.

just announce the deal already ffs

I suppose thats true but they will ignore his nationality if he becomes a star. They will pretend he was English all along

Not many British players have done well overseason and not many players that aren't from England but from other countries in the UK have made it out to begin with. Giggs is being spoken of as a legend of the game despite being from the tiny wales

Who will pretend he's English?  

Bale will have a lot of hype around him if he does well. Don't get me wrong.


But the hoardes of English fans who got behind the likes of Beckham aren't going to give two shits about Bale, and they certainly won't pretend he's English.

Also, he's hardly the pretty poster boy who's got his claim to numerous model deals and sponsorships is he?

he is a former Spurs player

jamie Redknapp and Daily Mail would pretend he was born in Tottenham

Unfortunately Jamie Redknapp is not going to propel anybody into Global stardom
