Bale (again)

It wreaks of United and Ronaldo. A name for the marketing department, rather than a player for the coach
Ronaldo scored 18 PL goals this season. That's more than Harry Kane, and in a pretty dysfunctional team.

Now, unlike Bale, Ronaldo has taken incredible care over his body and is still a top notch athlete. But let's be honest -- are there many better backup forwards?
 
Having someone like Olise develop into the next Bale and boss the game for us for the next decade?
That would be great if it were guaranteed but it's not.

How many players do you need to work with before one looks like he might be the next Bale? Of those, how many become that good?

There are a handful of people in the world who can do what Bale can. If we can have the real thing and work on making the new one, why not?
 
If he's happy to be a rotation player - which he is - can't think of many better options for someone that can cover all the attacking positions and knows the club and lge really well.

We struggle for Kane backup of any quality due to playing time.
Same with Son cover now.
Probably Kulu too.
Bale covers all of them = more playing time for him and a quality rotation options.
