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.

ROBINSON SAYS BALE NOW HAS CHANCE TO SHINE

Paul Robinson has had nothing but words of praise for Gareth Bale following the winger’s sublime showing against fellow league side Southampton in their Premier League clash on Wednesday. Tottenham hosted Southampton at the Tottenham Stadium in what was Ryan Mason’s first game as the manager in charge of the London club and he saw his side overturn a 1-0 deficit to record a 2-1 comeback win.

Bale was agreeably one of the best players on the pitch on the night and he wrapped up a fine performance by appearing on the scoresheet. Robinson was particularly impressed by Bale given how hard it was for the 31-year-old attacked to start games when Portuguese manager José Mourinho was still in charge of the club.

WILL SPURS SIGN BALE PERMANENTLY

The future of Gareth Bale was in serious doubt until this weekend when he finally announced his second coming at Tottenham Hotspur. The Welsh international player had been a shadow of himself in his second spell at Tottenham Hotspur until this weekend when he announced himself with two goals and one assist during the 4-0 thumping of Burnley at home on Sunday. Gareth Bale re-signed for Tottenham Hotspur on loan from Real Madrid last year, seven years after he had left the club for the same Spanish La Liga outfit for a then world-record fee of £85.3m. Since his return to Spurs, manager Jose Mourinho has not played him regularly but that could change now after his heroics at the weekend. His performance against the Clarets would have gone a long way to convince the Spurs heirarchy about signing the Welshman on a permanent deal at the end of his loan spell this summer. He had scored one goal in the league and was looking largely unfit due to a lack of playing time until the last one week.

BALE EYEING REAL MADRID SWANSONG

Tottenham Hotspur forward Gareth Bale is said to be keeping tabs on events at parent club Real Madrid and that he wants a final season with the Spanish champions. This is according to the various reports emanating from the media in Spain and the United Kingdom. Gareth Bale is a Real Madrid player but he’s on loan at Tottenham Hotspur for this season for his second spell in North London. Gareth Bale was a Spurs player until Real Madrid paid a record transfer fee of £85.3m to sign him in 2013.

His return to Spurs at the start of this season has not yielded the expected results especially for the player as he has been left out of the team on several occasions by manager Jose Mourinho. The Welshman has featured in just nine of the 22 Spurs games in all competitions and he has two goals to show for his troubles, one in the Europa League and the other one in the Premier League. Gareth has played a total of 509 minutes for Spurs under Jose Mourinho this season. He’s said to be paying close attention to the developments at Real Madrid. Continue reading
