I remember his free kick against us, thinking Bale should be doing that.. didn't realise he's 6'2" - should cope with the rigours of the PL.
I'm fascinated to see how we line up, the formation seemed pretty fluid last season, can't remember Sky getting it right.. but yea, the squad we've got now screams 433.
The only thing confusing people at the moment is where Bale fits in, I think we're going to see him start on the right and go wherever he wants. Not convinced he should be a striker at all, we need that big name in.
Definitely right in a 433, or left in a traditional 4-man midfield in my opinion for Bale. Not central I hope.
Should be interesting though - it looks as if AVB is being backed. Big season for him and us, if he gets a striker he likes we should be aiming for upper 70s in terms of points.
I was smashed for the 2-2 and remember nothing . Chadli scored in the WHL game too apparently but don't remember that one either.

In a 4-3-3, the roaming role alongside the 2 strikers.
Other formations, he becomes a bit of a hindrance to other MF players (Lennon etc) .

Sounds like a good way to avoid the Bale effect
Hopefully we're aiming to win a trophy HRH!
"Sounds like a good way to avoid the Bale effect"
It worked very well for the U21s.
Ceballos plays that role alongside the strikers.
All over the pitch, linking with MF and LB/RB.
Scoring quite a few goals but not affecting the striker opportunities.
