One thing at a time Star. Securing Jose is more important than any player signing!

 
Agree with 99.9% of what you post Loz but you just posted the 0.01%

Even though he is "not of the bottle" he is 3rd behind the players and Us that make this club great. Just feel we are pinning too much on him

Can't see Bale coming to us

I can see Bale to Madrid to replace Ronaldo coming to us

 
Bale would improve any team but he wouldn't be sold to us and I doubt we are in for him considering we have Hazard, Mata and Oscar.

 
We should never pay more than £40m for one player. Bale would cost more than that. 

Although it would be funny to see the Spurs fans reaction.

 
Lets just stick in an obscene bid for him, enough to make Levy put on a sweat even if he does give it the old "he's not for sale" bo**ocks. 

 
I was surprised to read he's only got 8 assists for the whole premier league season. I think for all his undoubted quality going forward we'd be better of concentrating on that striker position and someone else.

 
considering they took a hit just so that Modric wouldn't join us (we bid in excess of £40m in 2011 - he went to Real Madrid for just over £30m in 2012), there is no chance Bale will be coming to Stamford Bridge

I'd offer the world (& a crap load of hair 'product' ) for Ronaldo.

Just as long as Madrid throw Benzema in for free.

 
Hazard will be superior to him in just about every way in the next 2 years, no thanks.

Yes, but then we could have them both. Hazard on the left, Bale on the right. 

 
I rate Bale as a player, he is definitely a match winner.

That said, I really feel that there are 2 factors that he has at Tottenham that he wouldn't get at say Madrid.

1. His given basically a completely free role to move around and contribute how he wants. If he moves to Man City, Madrid, United or us he's likely to find his role to be a little more structured. This isn't such a huge issue in the sense he is originally a left wing back and can play a defensive role if required and this can actually be an advantage for him as he's more likely to be able to fit in a big team if his not only able to play a completely non-defensive role. But it will mean he creates less than he does currently at Tottenham.

2. This is mostly about the league. But while it's true smaller players can absolutely be productive in the Premiership with the whole needing to be big thing a bit of a myth, being quick is actually pretty important.

Shevchenko for example struggled at Chelsea not because of lack of skill, but because he wasn't quick enough and the game tended to "pass him by" at times.

Ballack when he first joined Chelsea was played at the tip of the midfield diamond by Mourinho and similarly struggled to keep up until Grant moved him into a deeper role alongside Lampard where he played the rest of his Chelsea days before departing.

Anyways, while pace is important in the premiership, players who rely on pace like Thierry Henry (at Barca), sometimes struggle in slower leagues like La Liga because thr slower tempo allows opposition teams to get back and constrict the space better.

I can see Bale (like Henry before him) struggling to replicate his Tottenham form in another league.

TL/DR?

Basically i'm suggesting while a wonder player, he isn't likely to be AS good for another club as he is at Tottenham where everything is set up for him to succeed and if he does move he should definitely remain in England as it suits his game most.

Thierry didnt struggle in Spain...but I agree with you, Bale wouldnt be as good in any other side...he also cuts in onto his left foot a lot and can be predictable
