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
and I still reiterate my sentiments, many players are better suited to playing for smaller clubs with very
little expectations and less pressure and I can name loads of very very talented players who just don't have the big club mentality, players who bloom and shine when they are the main attraction, the big
fish in a small
pond but who will whither and fade once they make the step up to bigger teams... with Arsenal Afobe will just be another player, another upstart who will find the pressure of delivering week
in week out or be out of the team hard to deal with... at Bournemouth he has time to settle into his pace, if he misses chances like he did on his debut for the club he will still be given chances after chances, just like it happened withn him
