Bale vs Ronaldo

But in less than 6 months he'll play for Real, and then 2 seasons after, he'll be at United/City.

stupidest thing I've ever read on here.

Real will spend >£50m on Bale, only to sell him 2 years later

what a mug...

As a neutral, let's hope he does continue to improve. The more players of the highest order the better.

Love watching him play at the moment. The NLD should be a cracker.

I understand that, yet I still think it is a completely pointless comment. 'If a player who plays in a sport that relies heavily on athleticism, loses his athleticism he is worse'.

If Bolt lost his speed he wouldnt be 100m champion. Just an obvious statement.

To be a 100m runner is all about speed, you don't really need that much else. To be a footballer isn't. Bale can get better at other aspects of the game instead of just relying on his speed, which he would need to do if an injury hit him.

Doovde

British players just don't last abroad. They all come home after a few seasons. Beckham is the only exception.

Doesnt matter really Jay.

It will be interesting.

have you even watched him play, the way he brings the ball down and runs with it, not many players have that skill to move a ball around like that

having pace does not make you a great footballer, it helps and thats all

Bale's goals against West Ham nothing to do with pace.

Bale's goals against Lyon nothing to do with pace.

One of Bale's goals against Newcastle was pace

Against WBA his goal was nothing to do with pace.

Against Norwich his goal was about pace and strength.

His hatrick against Villa I would argue only the first had something to do with his pace.

But above all, all his goals are more to do with great composure, finishing, and technique.
