How could anyones form be great who doesnt get a consistent run? And yet still has a one goal every two games goal record this season. Wherever he goes next its almost certain he will be the main man which he never is at Madrid, and Ive no doubt he will flourish wherever that is....
Im more concerned about getting the right players in - the price I trust Levy to get the best deal possible. Its likely Shaw is Poch's no 1 target in that position, they clearly love working with each other so even if we had to over pay I wouldnt be bothered. Im happier overpaying for Pochs main targets, than saving a few mill on targets no.2/3. Also I think he'd end up being a snip once acclimatised to being back under Poch again, I think give it a year he would be Englands no.1 LB......
When you say "Comparable" I assume that you are referring to the fact that they are both human beings?
I have to disagree with that as I think Bale is definitely "that guy". Look at how he and Ramsey (spit) have inspired an otherwise mediocre Wales team in recent years. It's a different kind of leadership to the likes of Roy Keane, but it's no less effective.
Don't get me wrong, I too would love to see Bale back. But not at the expense of a strategy that will also strengthen us in the long run. And splashing all the cash on Bale to get a couple of years out of him (when not injured) will leave us short in the future. Sentimentally, a big huge yes! Rationally, I'm not so sure.
