Did anyone read that piece in the week it was on the tottenham newsnow page, it was an article in Marca ****ging him off, made me laugh. Maybe the Spainish are like the Americans and do not do irony.

A record signing from Tottenham Hotspur, Gareth Bale is unbelievably attracting a small dose of criticism in Madrid already.
Gareth Bale's move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid was the big story which dominated the summer transfer window, culminating in a world record transfer.
When it came to media coverage, Spanish newspaper Marca was the outlet which shouted loudest - vociferous in trying to unsettle the player and undermine Tottenham's attempts to keep him.
So it should come as a surprise - or perhaps it's inevitable really - that a journalist from the publication is the first to question Bale's aptitude to Madrid.
Quickly some context; Bale has had a stop-start beginning to his Madrid career due to fitness issues, scoring on his debut against Villareal - but has not started the three following games. Bale came on as a substitute in the second half against rival Atletico Madrid, but could not spark them into avoiding a 1-0 defeat.
In a time of mini-crisis at the Bernabeu, which occur all-too regularly, Marca's assistant editor Santiago Segurola has questioned whether Madrid invested their money wisely.
He writes: "I might be wrong, because Gareth Bale has joined late and has barely had a pre-season, but he seems to be a one-dimensional player, who is not so involved in the dynamic side of the game."
He prefaced this by criticising the sale of Mesut Ozil to Arsenal, stating: "The sale of Ozil is an historic error. Real Madrid has got rid of its second best player. He's a 24-year-old player who brought out the best in everyone around him, especially Cristiano Ronaldo."
It's real knee-jerk reaction comment, but Bale's ineffectual display in the derby was also picked up on by Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo.
Jouralist Jesus Galindo wrote: "The man who cost just € 101 million contributed nothing to the team in its debut in the derby.
"He showed desire, but lacked speed, one of his main features, and did not look comfortable on the right wing, where he had been placed by Carlo Ancelotti. His attacking edge was limited to a left-foot shot from the edge of the area stopped by Courtois.
"Besides that drew applause from the stands when they saw him on the field, otherwise Bale debut at the Bernabeu went virtually unnoticed . The 101 million euros that Florentino Perez invested his signing , were not reflected in his game.
"Although it is too early to make any assessment of Bale, on Saturday, to the disappointment of the fans to see the poor image provided by your computer, some doubt the Welshman and whether the investment is worth it."

Insofar as I can feel sorry for a multi millionaire idol footballer (which isn't very far), I do feel sorry for him.
First, in a personal sense with his wife and new baby, who are known as home-birds. Must be tough for them in a strange city where they don't know anyone.
In a professional sense, nothing less than his full Spurs form will do now for the Madrid fans and media. We know that those questioning his ability are wrong - not only was he explosive for Spurs the last couple of seasons, he was incredibly consistent. Game in, game out, he performed. But actually producing that now seems a massive uphill task. He can do it, but every day that passes makes the task more difficult.

I still can't stand the guy. I appreciate what he did for us but knowing that it's all been selfishly orientated takes some of the moments away.
When he celebrated the winner v West Ham, with AVB, the happiness seemed to suggest his happiness at being with the club and the win we had produced. Now I feel it was just self smugness as he was thinking 'look how good I am!!'.
Hoping Real Madrid fail miserably this season. And Bale turns out to be the biggest waste of money since Denilson arrived in Spain for Real Betis.

He'll do ok, sell lots of shirts, get a lot of media coverage, be criticised for not living up to the price tag, the team will finish 2nd and get knocked out in the CL. Same as almost all RM teams in the last *few* years.
The reality of playing for Real Madrid. Top of the league in merch sales, 2nd in the actual football league and not enough of a team to win the big cup.

I dont think his back has been the same since he got that injury at Everton a few years back when he played on and really should have gone off

Every morning i have my tea in my Bale3 mug before I go to work. With a sigh I reminisce about the good times. Watching GB score an an unbelievable goal. Still cherish the moments. ..but hay suppose you can't live in the past. Being a Spurs supporter you get use to what if moments.
Sorry Madrid no refunds.
I miss his explosiveness and the sheer number of get out of jail cards he produced for us last season, but we got 5 players in return which when settled will hopefully make us a better team, lest I forget that young winger we have to replace him with, oh whats his name again...........Townsend.
I hope he succeeds in Madrid, but their fans like flair and technical skills and Bale's game is about directness and pace, it might not work out for him.

I wouldn't wish injury on him, but I can't say I'm gutted after he refused to train/play which cost him some fitness going into his new club. Nobody's fault but his and his agent. Now of course, we don't know if this injury is connected, but his lack of pre season action can't have helped.
Barnett told the TV station La Sexta: "The whole story is complete rubbish, irresponsible and a disgrace. I was contacted by a reporter from Marca: I told them that it was complete rubbish and yet they still printed it. Whatever they say is a lie. It is stupid and irresponsible. He passed the medical and he is 100% fit. There is nothing wrong with him. He is the most expensive signing in history; if there had been any problem they would have stopped the signing.
How ironic that Bale's agent is unhappy with a story printed in Marca. Now you know how we ****ing felt all summer you prick.
