Bale: Should he stay, or should he go?

Bale: Should he stay, or should he go?

I can just imagine Bale singing that Clash’s song: #Darling (Levy), you got to let me know

#Should I stay or should I go?

If you say that you are mine

I’ll be here ’till the end of time

So you got to let me know

Should I stay or should I go?#

 

Will Bale be back for another season?

According to Gareth Bale’s agent, Jonathan Barnett, Bale was forced to overcome an unnecessary ‘tough ride’ throughout his season-long loan spell at Spurs. Granted, he struggled at the start of the season, however, over the last few months, he has demonstrated that he is still an incredibly potent attacking threat when he is fit and firing.

Bale returned to the starting eleven against the Blades on Sunday, and he netted a hat-trick to help Spurs to a 4-0 win. Those goals took Bale’s goal tally for the season to 14 in all competitions. That is pretty good for somebody who had question marks hanging over him when joining the club at the beginning of the season.

It has been rumoured that Daniel Levy will offer the next manager the chance to re-sign Bale for next season, but Barnett remained sheepish about his client’s plans. When asked if Bale would extend his stay at the club, he told Sky Sports: “Nothing has been discussed at the moment. He had a tough ride, and I don’t think that should have been necessary. He came as one of the best players in the world. Sure, he had a few injuries and a few fitness problems, but once they were over, all he needed was to be played in the right position and to be played constantly to get back into the rhythm. He has been given that opportunity, and you can see how he plays. I think with Gareth, like a lot of players, he has to enjoy his life and then you do well.” Barnett went on to say: “Given the opportunity, given the right way to play him, you may have found that he was always at his best. He just didn’t have the opportunity to prove it or the way to prove it.”

The way I read this, is he is hinting that Mourinho did not really give Bale the freedom to play the way he prefers playing. Bale himself seemed to suggest something similar following our win over the Blades on Thursday when he talked about the difference between Mourinho’s and Mason’s approach (a subtle hint). Whatever, it is a waiting game, and we will have to wait until the new manager has got his feet under the table before we know. But saying that, any manager worth his salt would already know what is what, where Bale is concerned.

COYS!

All the best, Glenn
