What will Bale have to do at Real Madrid so he isn't considered a flop?

by Onyx Wed Sep 04, 2013 1:15 pm

He'll have to score a lot of goals. If he scores around 10, 11 etc, it won't be enough. The reason it won't be enough is because anyone would be able to score that many goals at Real Madrid.

If he loses the ball multiple times, especially in big games, then he'll be in trouble.

Bale will have a lot of pressure. Expectations are high.

nothing in his power. he is destined to flop

20 goals and 10 assists at least for me and one of CL/La Liga.

by The Verminator Wed Sep 04, 2013 1:21 pm

I think anything less than 40 goals and I think he'll be considered a flop imo.

40 goals?

All he has to do is perform in the big games. Stats don't matter much when you're playing with Ronaldo, he's pretty much in the same boat Neymar is in.

Rack up more than four assists

Dont think anyone will care about individual performances if Real don't win La decima.600 Million squad currently and paying that much money over the past 10 years while not winning the CL is ridiculous.

If he managed to score 26 goals in 44 apps in England, I'm pretty sure he will manage to score 30 in La Liga.

So 30 goals and good performances in big games. Titles would help him aswell.

They have spent over a billion on transfers and have not even reached a European cup final Laughing

Disgrace

Score goals or be involved in goals that gets Madrid La Decima

by Gemini Wed Sep 04, 2013 1:52 pm

He'll score around 20 league goals, that amount shouldn't be considered a flop for him. If he can improve the team, bow down and assists Ronaldo and net 20 goals I think that'll be fine, but it wouldn't justify his price either.

Also to consider, at Real everything still runs down to Ronaldo. At Spurs Bale was expected to do everything on the scoring end. So his goal tally might go down as I don't see Ronaldo as the sharing type.

"Last time I checked I (Ronaldo) was the man on these streets."

La Liga is a joke but he's playing with 2 other established goalscorers and the set pieces and long shots will be taken by CR.

30 goals could happen but I seriously doubt it. In all comps maybe.

Manage to get into the starting lineup ahead of Di Maria.

by Onyx Wed Sep 04, 2013 1:57 pm

Bale was bought for the hype, the goals etc he produced at Spurs. That has to be translated over to Real Madrid.

Other players can't be used as excuses for him not possibly succeeding.

by Mr Nick09 Wed Sep 04, 2013 2:01 pm

goals only matter when they are scored at the right moment. It doesnt matter if he scores the 4th or 5th goal if we are pounding on Osasuna.

Just scoring when it matters in CL and being a big game performer will go a long way.

And it's not about scoring alone, trying to be an all around performer too, defending, trying to assist, making us a bigger threat in general.

and pipe that nonsense down MT, Bale was also brought because he is a great player and he has ways to help our team, specially in the format we currently play in. He has potential enough to rampage that right side of the pitch.

Lol at this guy rooting for his failure. Wow.

by Onyx Wed Sep 04, 2013 2:09 pm

Bale can't really have that underdog mentality though of being one of many top players and thinking to himself scoring a few goals will be enough.

He has to replicate what he did at Spurs. That's what the €100m was paid for.

Otherwise we could have got some cheaper player who would score a few goals and play for Ronaldo.

by inter1lachen Wed Sep 04, 2013 2:11 pm

I feel sorry for the kid. He is a very good player, but not Galacticos level. The price was dictated by the hype, and Perez wanted hype for Real Madrid. Unless he matches or surpasses the performances of Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo this year, which will not happen, he will be deemed a failure.

by aleumdance Wed Sep 04, 2013 2:11 pm

I stand by my word

against Barca

Madrid should use strict Counter Attack..Bale will skin anything they throw at him

by Mr Nick09 Wed Sep 04, 2013 2:13 pm

what underdog mentality? just quiet down and see how he performs ffs.

@inter1lachen, there is a belief in spain that Bale is only at the beginning of his development curve and his prime is way down the line. That's why the money was thrown at him. so it really comes down to how he grows in the next 4 years.

Only Ronaldo is the Galacticos level player on that team, Kaka was when he was bought, the rest are unproven and have never won anything of great significance...
