Gareth Bale is superior to Ryan Giggs

[indierich06]

I think Bale is a better player at 23 than Giggs was, although not by much because Giggs was a fantastic player too. Mind you, it's like comparing apples and oranges - they're very different players.

[Babylon]

Would Bale be able to adapt his game when his pace goes like Giggs?

[whitlock]

So because they are both Welsh and left footed they must be the same player? Just like the Messi Ronaldo debate, they are both two completley world class players, but both completley different.

[MC Prussian]

I don't know how you can compare Bale to Giggs.

Two different players with a different style of play growing up during a different era of English football.

Giggs is like an engine and had the benefit of playing under the same great coach during his entire career, with top-class teammates.

Bale is on the rise, but Tottenham are too depending on his services.

Unless Spurs strengthen their squad in most areas, it's not worth going any further.

But to make matters (and comparisons) worse, Bale is 23, Giggs 39. That's one entire football generation.

Imagine, Giggs could be Bale's dad.

[Uncle Albert]

Both will probably be in the same team next season.

Giggs won't sign for Real.

[Uncle Albert]

Thanks for that dipshit.

I was joking, clearly, you mardy ****! Jesus Christ lighten up. It doesn't take much of a brain to figure out what I meant!

Yeah I know you were joking but it just wasn't amusing in the slightest.

Lofty

You could start a fight in a monastery.

[Uncle Albert]

There's too many idiots on here with such poor opinions and can't back their opinion up, it does my head in.

They just come out with crap like "Giggs wont sign for Real" what idiot says that, really? The moron clearly can't give me any reasons why Gareth Bale wouldn't sign for Man United so he comes out with that shit. I seriously think some of the idiots on here should go through a test before signing up to this forum.

Most people won't agree or care about my opinions and I'm not too arsed if they don't agree with me but if someone questions my opinion I can engage in a debate with them and try and tell them why I think that opinion, not come out with some one line crap that isn't amusing or whatever else he was trying to achieve from that drivel.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Bale will be off to United within the next few years.

[Jimothy]

It was a flippant remark, it wasn't exactly meant to win any comedy awards. Seriously what's your problem!?!

I'll happily discuss why I don't think Bale will go Man Utd. I don't think they have the money to pay what Spurs will rate him at, also they won't fancy letting him go to what they perceive as rival of sorts. I think if one of the big Spanish two offered similar or a little less Spurs might be more likely to listen to that offer than Utd's. But at the end of the day I think Spurs will try their hardest to keep him.

You made a flippant remark about how he'll be a Man Utd next season, with no back up to that statement. I respond with a flippant remark about him joining Real and get nothing but shit. You talk about idiots on this board, and there's been a lot of nostalgia recently about how this board used to be, the only problem is people like you and TPH thinking you own the board and it should be just for you and your mates. It's an internet forum for Christ sake, people are to join. If you want to talk to your mates, do what the rest of us do, get a mobile phone and call or text them!

Better. You can hold down a debate, congratulations.

Tottenham will not be bothered who they sell too, but you're right maybe Spurs will price United out of Bale. Depends on how much Ferguson wants Bale, I think Ferguson will want Bale and like we all know Ferguson usually gets what Ferguson wants. Can't see Bale going to Spain either, not yet anyway. No disrespect to Gareth Bales footballing ability but he hasn't won anything in England, surely he would want to have achieved something here before going out to Spain? A bit like Ronaldo did, Ronaldo had won everything in England before moving to Spain.

Your final paragraph - I don't have any friends on this forum? I used too but they don't post anymore. All the people who used to post on here who I mentioned were able to hold down a debate and brought stuff to this forum not just some wiseass remark that isn't remotely funny. My comment was hardly flippant, as I wasn't replying to anything, if someone had questioned me on what I had said then I would of responded. Your comment was just ridiculous.

[theessexfox]

I agree with whoever said he won't reach his potential if he goes abroad, and he won't stand out as much - just look at Fabregas and Modric to use two recent examples.

Well firstly I don't see how your post wasn't flippant just because it wasn't a response, at the end of the day you've given you opinion that Bale will be at Old Trafford next year with nothing to back it up. To be honest my response was made whilst at work, whilst doing a boring task I have to do at the same time everyday, I wasn't going to write an essay, but then I didn't think it would cause you so much anguish. It was just an off the cuff remark, not every post has to Thracianesque length. If you had wanted to know why I thought what I did you could have just replied with a "What makes you think that?" Rather than personal insults (not that they bother me all that much, it's an internet forum, but it's still uncalled for.) I've noticed from the Premier League thread you've come across KingFox, so I can see where your gripe that some posters spout drivel with no back up, but please don't stick me in the same category as that twat. I like to think most of my posts on this forum, and most are made in this section, are somewhat well thought out, even if people might not agree with them.

As for my final paragraph, you seem to have missed to point slightly. You might not have any friends here now, but you and TPH seem to be harking back to a time when you did and pining for it. Bemoaning the fact it's changed because they've gone, and begrudging others the right to use a public forum. I like to think I usually do add things to debates, and I like people that do, but I can stomach the odd pointless, stupid comment, what I can't stomach is people being pointlessly nasty and cuntish over 5 words.

It's a shame out of all that crap you've written there you couldn't reply to the subject in matter.

I've had my say on Bale, I'm done with it, hasn't stopped you be a complete and utter **** though has it.

[ScouseFox]

I've had my say on Bale, I'm done with it, hasn't stopped you be a complete and utter **** though has it.

I'm getting the idea that nothing will.

You couldn't continue with te debate then? Oh dear.

I'm getting the idea that nothing will.

Deary me.

[Jimothy]

Deary me.

What's to debate? I've said why I don't think he'll go Man U, and if he does move it will be abroad, but he's more likely to stay put. What else can I say? I don't agree with your view he'll go Man U. There's not a great deal more to add is there? Anyway I'm not sure I want to discuss football with someone who thinks Liverpool's second half display v Man City makes them a top team Now I'm discussing why you're being such a ****, something you don't seem to be able to answer. When I started posting here you seemed a decent bloke, went away and like TPH have come back acting like a right twat.

[Haydos]

I agree with whoever said he won't reach his potential if he goes abroad, and he won't stand out as much - just look at Fabregas and Modric to use two recent examples.

Fabregas has improved significantly IMO.

[Uncle Albert]

What on earth are you going on about? Bringing Liverpool v Man City into this? I think I've got into your head a little too much, you need to cool off. I'm living in your head rent free.

Or you can't discuss Football with me because you're incapable of doing so, I wrote you a counter paragraphs on discussing your points on Gareth Bale, you failed to answer any. You instead decided to try and have a pop at me and TPH, which is a bit low to bring someone into it who isn't on the forum to defend himself.
