SallyCinnamon Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 What a waste of a supreme talent the last few years at Madrid. He’s won everything over there and his goals to game record is exceptional. But staggers me how much he’s vilified over there and the little game time he gets. One of the best Britain has ever produced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 You couldn't place that ball anymore perfect. Sublime. His second goal too, took the ball and knew exactly what to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Gareth Bale is one of the best British footballers of my lifetime. Easily better than Rooney . Just my opinion, others would disagree! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 He's getting ripped apart by the Spanish press and I can see why. He was apparently in too much pain to play at the weekend for Real but plays and scores 2 for Wales. If that was a foreign play in this country he would get slated too.

Just my opinion, others would disagree! Completely agree he has carried a very average Wales team for years. He drives the team forward and in a team of mega stars at Madrid he was often the big game player who won them tight games. Also for a couple of years at Spurs he was the best player in the premier league by some distance. Scotland are a bit unlucky in that the best player they have is a right back so cant effect the game as much. Again all my opinion I'm sure others would disagree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the past few seasons Madrid haven’t wanted him involved much in the starting line up. He’s been benched or loaned to spurs. For a player who, in my opinion is one of Europe’s best and hard working on the field, he’s been treated badly by his club. Given the lack of game time I don’t blame him for wanting to prioritise helping his small country qualify for a World Cup for the first time in 64 years. Something england fans can’t even imagine how that feels like. And yes I’m from a Welsh family so very biased but still. It would be amazing to see wales at a World Cup in my lifetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Madrid gave him the contract They shouldn’t complain when he honours it Maybe they should look in the mirror about demanding a fee for him a couple of years back 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if they value him or not he should honour his contract and be honest about his availability. If it was a Wednesday player who did this we would all be raging.

BridportOwl Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I get the impression that the Spanish press are just looking for people to blame for their abject performance against Barca. As far as I know he has been available for selection whenever possible this season. I would have thought he would have wanted as much game time as possible in the run up to the Austria match as he clearly isn't match fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
