Bale Barca Bound?

[NSIS]

Absolutely right Nsis, Shoving a player into a central position is not just about using the players abilities, it presents the player with a whole set of new things. First and foremost decision making, out wide, very few decisions to make, centrally, I'd say your ability to read the game will get exposed if its bad. Its one of Modric's abilities not spoke about too much, and any top MFer does this naturally imo, you can either see whats on, or you can't. He knows when to pass, burst forward, or switch it. This is what Bale will need to do to be successful there, bringing me back to things that aren't always teachable.

I can understand why Harry wanted to try him in different roles, he's potentially dangerous anywhere on the field. Of course, you're right, he's no midfield general. His strengths are his pace and power. His crosses are usually spot on, too. I'm sure that given time he will add more weapons to his armoury. I doubt, however, that dictating midfield play will be one of them.

I now think me using Modric wasn't the best example, when Bale moves to the centre its more where VdV would be, but again VdV reads the game brilliantly from there. He's already one of the best wide players on the planet, I'd like to see him concentrate on being the best! Robben has 18 goals in 34 games, Bale 12 in 41 would suggest he has some way to go despite the hype.

Which begs two questions:
1.) Why are United fans discussing a Spurs player?
2.) Why are United fans discussing a Barca transfer?

Theres a discussion on redcafe over every player we are linked with, Bale being one of them over the years, it tends to have every update. Problem or just being weird?

Leave the obsessive transfer speculation to us!
