Thedelldays Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 (edited) bale is far too good for spurs.... finest left sided player in the world... if he was english he would command headlines like "stevie g" and "rooney" etc Edited 20 October, 2010 by Thedelldays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Lungs Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 He is the best left sided player in the world. Without doubt. A prediction I made within the first few games I ever saw him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 He is an unbelievable talent, i knew he was destined for the big time when i saw him command games from left back, and he really did stand out as our real playmaker from a full back position, which at the time was crazy. Great player, so happy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchris Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 Without doubt. A prediction I made within the first few games I ever saw him. Yes a very cold night at Staplewood Saints Res v Ipswich Res he should have been playing for the first team by then, was several classes above ...

Fowllyd Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 Is there a sell on clause? he wont be at Spurs for much longer. Think we took more cash upfront when in admin? We cashed in the sell-on clause before the start of the 2008/09 season, not when we were in administration. So no, we won't be getting any sell-on money. Looking on the bright side though, we got Tommy Forecast as part of that deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Chuckle Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 He was always going to leave us but I reckon he'd have stayed for at least 1 season had we got promoted in 2006/07, was a big blow he couldn't play in the 2nd leg!

bpsaint Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 nah , theo got the hattrick against croatia - skills Purposely left out Theo as I feel he has made hardly any progress at Arsenal since leaving us, not compared to Bale. His trick seems to be sprinting in to the right side of the box and hitting a ball across the face of goal to score. No skills to turn a player, just speed. I'd even rate Wilshere as a better player already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 And to think we took an early settlement of Tommy Forecast for this lad ..... You have to be really thankful that, hopefully, we will never, ever, be in a desperate position such as that again. Hopefully, we'll be able to produce a player in the same ilk as Bale at some point in the near future and maybe we'll be able to hold on to him.

benjii Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 And yet I remember some on here slating him in some matches! lol His defending was pretty ropey at times but he was only 17 and it was obvious that wouldn't be his forte as his career progressed.

Andy_Porter Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 Best player I've seen in a Saints shirt. Better than Matty. Behave yourself. He's not even close to the talent of Le Tissier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmel Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 Ironic that he was the last of his batch apprentices at Saints to get a contract. Apparently it went to a vote and from what I understand went to the wire, I also know (Albeit second hand and why it wouldnt be fair to name him) a certain senior Acadmey figure voted against offering him a contract as he didnt think he would make it. In fairness though, he has stood out much more as a professional footballer than he ever did as a youth team or reserve player. Great to see him doing well, big big move for him in January or the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scudamore Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 What's happened to the free kicks? Seemed like he'd score every time he hit one for us. Can't think of many since he left though.
