I don't buy that for one second.

In his role, right now, he probably is.trout man wrote:Lets be honest about this, if Gareth Bale was in a sky blue shirt last night, I would have been creaming myself.

Hard to happen, that, seeing as he's Welsh ;)Original Dub wrote:

Spurs conceded 4 goals in 34 minutes in the game at the San Siro though. Sure, they then came back to 4-3 with ten men thanks to an astonishing Bale hat-trick, still they could have conceded even more on that night. I'm not saying we have to learn to be defenders first, but unless we eventually learn how to defend we won't win trophies because in the long run being able to defend well is needed. So, since we will have to learn it soon or later, I don't think it is particularly wrong to learn that first and then couple it with attacking football.

i hate spurs so much it's unhealthy...more than any team in the world. true story.
also, i wish Bale was a Blue. Someone mentioned in a post last night that even if he was we'd have never had the patience to let him develop...and that's probably a valid point. We aren't playing romantic footy right now, and we're surely not gonna slow dance with a player to get to know them a little bit better. Frustrating feeling that way but i do. Hope i'm wrong and everyone will get off Boateng's back for example and let the guy develop some. Just one of many examples...
cheers

i read the original comment saying if it were us we wouldn't have the patience. At the time i thought the comment related to the fans patience not the club, why becuase if we had bought Bale a few years back there is no reason to suggest we wouldn't have stuck with him like we did with other players from a few years back. This summer might have been a tricky time, but Bale was already playing well by the middle of last season.
As for current players i dont see that Mancini and the club wont have patience with who they have.. be that Boateng, Kolarov, Balotelli, Boyata, Hart or even those expected to perform like Yaya or Milner.
Some fans on the other hand is a different story and as we have already seen Balotelli is apparently a pile of wank.
