I’d argue this is exactly the reason Barca are being found out on a more regular basis, teams know if they play narrow and defend in numbers it’s difficult for Barca to score, if they had a Bale/ Ronaldo type player who tries to make something happen at every given opportunity, the opposition then have a player to mark as opposed to space.
-------------------
but barcelona wouldnt change their whole style of play to compensate for Bale being in the team, so his talent would be wasted.
all you have to do is look at sanchez and fabregas to see that.
sanchez is a direct winger with pace to burn, but he doesnt suit their style.
fabregas would walk into nearly any team in the world, but doesnt suit barcelonas style.
bale would be the same.
Tbh, I think Barca lack match winners, you have Messi, Pedro, Villa, Sanchez, the rest are very much players who look to keep possesion.
Barca usually only have 2 players on the pitch who will directly pose a goalscoring threat at any time, Messi + a winger.
Bale wouldn't suit Barca.
I suggested Bale would be the perfect full back for Barca, I agree he wouldn't work as a winger. The fact Alves doesn't have the engine he once did and Alba isn't all he was cracked up to be is a big factor because in their pomp their wing backs were a huge part of how they played.
There's an article on the Spurs and Arsenal boards comparing Bale with a prime Ryan Giggs
did morespurs just compare Bale to Henry
Giggs was amazing in his youth!!

Bale > Henry (end of)
Lol Bale has been quality for the last 7 games compared to Henry who did it for 100's of games. Bale is nowhere near Henry. Never will be.
Seriously, I know Tottenham fans are becoming over excited with Bale, but is their love-fest getting the best of them?
Bale being compared to Messi/Ronaldo is hilarious. Those two aren't even from this planet.
Bale being compared to Henry?! Whoever said that needs to sit down, for good.
