Where do you rate Bale in world football (sturridge too)

[stacksbranning]

If he has a similar season again then it's certi tbh.

 

World cup winner winning goalscorer

back to back european championship winner

3 time champions league winner

 

I'm not even going to go into his domination of the domestic scene (given Bale is being hailed as the best thing ever after one full consistent season)

 

THE biggest big game player in the world

 

When Bale is regularly compared to Iniesta I give up

 

The only people who should even be mentioned in the same breath are playing with him

 

Its all good listing achievments that were like three/four years ago but we are here in the present at this moment in time bale is playing better than iniesta..

I dont even know why thats up for debate

 

[Thizz]

The present when Iniesta just won the Spanish league, got to the semis of CL, 3rd in Balon d'Or and played in Confeds final in which he was Spain's best player all tournament.

 

You're talking absolute waffle mate.

[Fresh]

Bale is World class

[Benicio del Toney]

Man fuck Muller.

 

Any Kevin Nolan with extra mojo.

+

16 assists in the league(2 more than anybody else in Europe's top 5 leagues)

[darkman]

Bale is never on Iniesta's level but lol @ calling Iniesta the biggest big game player in the world

 

What did he do in both legs of the semi against Bayern? Exposed as a side man in Messi absence. To think some fuckers compare him to Zidane smh

[Michel Kane]

I seen Zidane get shut down in 2 Champions League finals. One of them by fucking Paul Lambert. 

 

CAN WE START USING CONTEXT IN OUR DISCUSSIONS PLEASE FFS.

[Michel Kane]

THIS IS MAKING ME MAD.

 

BALE & INIESTA IN THE SAME ARGUMENT.

 

FUCK THIS FORUM.

[Michel Kane]

What's crazy, Bale didn't even have a hot SEASON, he had a hot FIVE months.

 

Over the WHOLE season, MATA was better.

[darkman]

THIS IS MAKING ME MAD.

 

ZIDANE  & INIESTA IN THE SAME ARGUMENT.

 

f*ck THIS FORUM.

[Fighting Weight]

Trust me, it's mad.

 

Before Christmas he was average

 

he exploded after that

 

But guys are taking it too far

Would like to know who negged this & why because it's irrefutable TBH.

[LS]

Only an idiot would say Bale is on Iniesta's level.

 

I don't think anyone has said that.

 

 

People just making stuff up

 

 

I agree with Ice with that top 3

[darkman]

lol 

 

iniesta

cr7

messi

 

have gone clear for this generation 2006-14 there is no catching them.......

 

Within that group of players can be split into 3 subsets

 

Messi is in a league of his own. Followed by Ron and the Iniesta

 

 

THIS IS MAKING ME MAD.

 

ZIDANE  & INIESTA IN THE SAME ARGUMENT.

 

f*ck THIS FORUM.

 

lol this argument can be done easy as its preference but we will save it for when ini retires and then compare 

 

How can the argument is done? One was a lynchpin the other is a side man

A lot of people saying Messi, CR7 & Bale are current top 3 hence saying Bale >>> Iniesta.

[Fighting Weight]

who you think negged lol

 

/

 

right now imo bale is on the outskirts of the top 10 with a bunch of players ready to either burst into the top 5 and try push on to top 3 or fall away into one of those man that tore it up for a while

 

but given his professionalism and the peds he is being injected with and his drive to be the best... i think he will get better

 

/

 

mata is a sideman... fabregas is a sideman

 

iniesta is a lynchpin

 

world cup 2010

euro 2012

confed cup (minus the final)

 

not teach you that, remember messi doesnt play for spain

 

I concur

[Benicio del Toney]

Bale can get to cr7 levels and maybe beyond (maybe not goals)

 

Has all the attributes to do so.

 

He probably isn't too far behind, just needs to be playing for a bigger team with better players.

I negged you for unecessarily brining Zidane into the argument

 

The guy mentioned Iniesta was "THE BIGGEST BIG GAME PLAYER OF ALL TIME" but I showed to examples where he had a stinker. Could have also mentioned the Confed cup final too

 

Like I say when Xavi is running games in the middle of the park and without Messi you're seeing the real Iniesta. A SIDE MAN

[LS]

Trust me, it's mad.

 

Before Christmas he was average

 

he exploded after that

 

But guys are taking it too far

 

I don't think he was average before.  He scored big goals against UTD, Norwich, Arsenal, Hat trick against Villa not to mention his World class one against Scotland in the dying mins when his teams mate had all given up.

 

He was playing further back before so it was harder for him to impact games.

 

What AVB done in the last 20 mins of the Norwich game turned him monster

Bruv.

 

Ronaldo has been world-class for 5 years straight.

 

Bale has 5 world class months.

 

I beg.

[Benicio del Toney]

Nah, Bale has been showing it on off for 3 seasons now.

 

Ronaldo has played for TOP teams for the last decade.
