There is no doubt that Bale needs to get the hell out of Real if he ever wants to be the kind of player he once was... this isn't to suggest that he his skills have diminished, he simply isn't the fiery, determined and aggressive player that struck
fear in the
hearts of his opponents... the small fish
in a
big pond just doesn't fit his profile... I can't even remember the last player I've seen who has become so invisible on the
big stage (maybe Pogba last year)... maybe it's a case of culture shock or maybe he wasn't able to handle the notoriety that invariably came with his
big money signing, but regardless of how it happened this guy is a shadow of his former self... although I doubt he would ever come to a team
in such disarray, he could quite easily fill the shoes of Sanchez, who ironically was
in a similar predicament
in Barcelona, as Bale would return to his favoured left side and would be given the same freedoms that have allowed Sanchez to flourish... ultimately I think the cache of wearing a Real jersey and competing for the top trophies would be too difficult to give up for a wannabe club run by suits who care little about those kinds of accolades
