  WHERE ARE THEY NOW?  TOTTENHAM’S SOME GARETH BALE REPLACEMENTS FROM 2013

During his first spell at Tottenham, Gareth Bale became one of the best players in the world. Replacing him was always going to be nigh-on impossible for Spurs. So, rather than try to substitute him with one world-class, high-cost player, Tottenham reinvested the £85million Real Madrid paid for Bale to sign not one but seven new players. Nine years later, they’ve all left the club.

Roberto Soldado

Soldado was signed for £26million on the back of an excellent season for Valencia, scoring 30 goals in 46 appearances for the Spanish side in 2012-13. However, the striker failed to hit the same heights in the Premier League and also suffered from the emergence of Harry Kane.

                  GARETH BALE: WHAT CAN THE WALES FORWARD EXPECT AT LAFC?

Gareth Bale might not have played in the Los Angeles derby on Friday night, but he made his mark with fans on either side of a pulsating game as the sun set over the Hollywood hills. Roared on by their fevered support, Bale’s new team LAFC beat David Beckham’s former franchise LA Galaxy 3-2 and signalled their growing intent to put their city-rivals in the shade. But after being introduced before kick-off to the supporters who made the match feel like a carnival with their non-stop singing and drumming, Bale was then sucked in by their passion and took to the pitch afterwards to join in.


Helped by LAFC goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau in front of the north end of the stadium, the Welsh international took part in the post-match ritual for the players where they dance and then silence the crowd before punching the air while singing “L-A-F-C”. The excited fans, who are still coming to terms with being able to sign their own Galactico from Real Madrid and former Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini, lapped it up. There may be those who question whether Bale going to Major League Soccer is the best preparation for Wales’ World Cup campaign in November, but with the season already in full swing and concluding before teams travel to Qatar, the scheduling is perfect.

BALE, AN EARLY DOUBT FOR LIVERPOOL

Welsh international Gareth Bale is an early doubt for the Champions League final clash with Liverpool in Paris later this month due to injury. The Welshman has missed the last four Real Madrid games as a result of a back problem.

The Welshman was an important player for Real Madrid at the time, but he’s no longer seen as an important player at the club.
