People may not be taking it seriously now but Bale failing with the keepy uppys at the presentation is the first sign of fraudulence. This boy is an imposter and he knows it. Keepy uppys are a basic apitude test for a pro footballer. He lacks the basic technique to do anything other than run quickly (for an Anglo-Saxon) in straight lines and hoof the ball towards goal.
He will be shunted to left-back within 12 months, back in England within 30.
That was pretty funny, pretty sure I could put on a show with keepy uppys better than he did.
He's obviously not worth £86m but he has a very well-rounded skill set. Forget the screamers from 25 yards - his general play has been top notch for well over a year now. He looks awkward but his technique is sound. I was waiting for his purple patch to end but it never did.Originally Posted by BOBN
World class player.
Nerves got to him during that keepy uppy bs. Wouldn't think too much of it. Looked very uncomfortable out there. Seemed shy. He's just a poor humble Welsh lad come good living his dream.
Bale
He's restored my faith in football.
Massive flop he'll be.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Will he be as good as Ronaldo as some expect him to be due to the price tag?
No. Ronaldo is the best player in the world for a reason.
I reckon he'll do well enough though.
Yep. They don't like him already and he hasn't even played yet.
No British player has ever excelled over there.
And do you think there will be less people at the matches or more? Less rabid Spanish peasants baying for blood or more? Any nerves are linked to the fact he knows its only a matter of time before they find him out. In years to come, when they write his Madrid obituary, they will refer to this as they moment the players lost confidence him. Theyll probably say Perez dashed to his office and made a late call to White Hart Lane but Levy said "no refunds". Within weeks the players will stop passing to him, such a shame.
Syn says he waited for his purple patch to end. An athlete who found his touch for the last few months m (hes only been unplayable since about January of this year) has not allowed himself a pre-season. Hes given himself every chance of being knocked out of that rhythm he desperately relies on.

We'll just have to wait and see.
British players at Real have a history of doing well.
McManaman was very good, Owen in his sole season got goals but wanted first team football hence left and of course the main event, Becks. He was awesome.
Bale will be fine. I get the whole "ex spud player so we must hate on him" crap that some show on here. That's fine.
I'm a little bit older and wiser than that
Awlsome freudian slip
