Gareth Bale

[AJ The Red]

Have watched him play for wales in the last 2 games,goto say i think he is going

to be an awesome player.

 

Only 17 yrs only and he seems to have it all,he is going to be big and strong as well,

is he chelsea bound?? might be worth a punt because he will be worth a lot of money

soon.

 

Anyone else watched him?

I think we enquired about him in the summer, we've been linked a few times. I think he wants to stay with Southampton for a while though. George Burley said he spoke to his family at the start of the season and they agreed it'd be in all parties' best interests if he stayed there a couple of years. It'll depend on how he progresses and who comes in for him though.

 

I would've thought Arsenal would be sniffing around him, but they've not been linked yet.

Liverpool fan by all accounts, like Walcott was/is

The guy who found him for Southampton Malcolm Elias is now the head of recruitment at our academy.

Cmon Bellamy, do your work!

[Bjarkinn]

Like he isn't trying. Rafa got Bellamy just to convince Bale to come to Anfield

[R A Softlad]

Cmon Bellamy, do your work!

 

My thoughts exackerley!

[Leo No.8]

Fantastic talent is Bale - his left-foot and ability from set-pieces is the most obvious thing about him, but his all-round play is very impressive for a lad of his age as well.

 

I think he could be one of the best around in 3 or 4 years time...

my saints fan mate reckons that arsenal have been all over bale for about 18 months.

apparently wenger loves him as a player but is concerned at the risk of whether a british kid would be able to adjust to his team

Don't worry, he'll learn to speak French in no time!

I think that's good news. Southampton looked to have a class youth set up.

Didn't know Graham Rix was a coach at Arsenal.

[Guest Joaquin]

Bale will be a top class player. His destiny is in the big time.
