Bale has 14 goals and 5 assists in all competitions, is he worth the 250 000 pounds a week or w/e Spurs are paying him, no. But hardly terrible returns from a wide player.

Bale has 14 goals and 5 assists in all competitions, is he worth the 250 000 pounds a week or w/e Spurs are paying him, no. But hardly terrible returns from a wide player.
He's had goal contributions in 5 games...I mean, considering he's barely played...
£13M for 9 great games is a poor return, no matter how you slice it
Hes the minnow slayer. Goals v relegated sides and part timers. Games where he wouldnt be playing in if he wasnt a flop.
He’s only one goal behind Cavani in all competitions..
Definitely not.
He hasn't been great but there were worse signings. VDB, Willian and Doherty for example.I love the way this thread pendulums between him being amazing (like after beating woeful Sheff Utd up), to terrible (after another anonymous performance).
His stats are surprisingly high for how the perception of how he's played have been. Reminds me a little bit of the Berbatov season where he scored about 25, but only scored in about 7 games.

Definitely not.
Thiago has to get in there as well.
Havertz has scored a couple recently, or he might be well up the list.
I completely forgot about Thiago's existence.
He has been such a forgettable signing.Brewster.
There should be an investigation how Liverpool keep getting these fees for such mug punter youngsters.
9 PL goals in 17 games. I think it's a stretch to pass that off as 'because he is brought off early'
In the PL, he has 1 less goal than Rashford, in half as many games, from the wing, in a worse team (and a Mourinho one at that, for the most part) in one where Kane and Son are also getting 38 goals between them also
He has scored in 5 games against the worst sides in the league. Adds nothing outside of those spurts since he has 2 assists (!) all season despite having Kane up top. 6 of his 10 goal contributions came in 2 games v Burnley and Sheff Utd. He averages 49 minutes per game thats hes played for you in the league based on my quick maths. Add in those that hes missed and its 24 minutes for feck sake.
Flop isnt the word. Its horrendous flop
Feel like Eddie Howe had some off the book incentives, he got a lot of them.
Didn't it come out that Redknapp got a fee from transfers.
That shocked me to the core, as that screams dodginess.
Scored as many as Sadio Mane and Sir Marcus Rashford in 1/3 of the playing time.
So he should be. Came with huge expectations and huge wages.
he got £1m before tax, which for Redknapp was £1m after tax.
Do what happens to him now?
Now now, surely it depends on the dog's admin?
Slopes back off to a Madrid golf course for another year?
Unless they pay him 20-25m to bore off early?
Most in nothing games against poor opposition too.
could spurs take him on another loan until the end of his contract?
I expect all possibilities are open.
Bale's slightly odd comment about only joining them for getting into the Welsh squad wasn't great PR though.
Chelsea’s Player of the Season.
Lask, Wolfsberger, Wycombe, Stoke, Brighton, Burnley, Palace, Southampton, Sheffield United and Leicester.
A real murderer's row of opponents there.
If they pay the wages i expect so
Spurs are closer to being rivals of West Brom than ours, honestly.
what do you think he means by that? Signing for arsenal?
It's interesting isn't it...
yeah I’m trying to think of scenarios that would cause chaos and that’s probably the one that comes to mind
16 goals in 34 games isn't bad at all. There's still a very good player there.
Apparently scored a premier league goal every 84 minutes of playing time. Which is the highest across a season of any player since 2000/01 season. (10+ goals)
And apparently the 2nd highest goal/minute ratio in premier league history behind OGS 1998/99.

Worst signing of the season though according to some genius in here.
He's been okay. Or do you think much better than that?
That last goal was hilarious.
It was like an adult playing against kids the way Leicester just let him wander through.

I think when he got fit enough to play properly he has been very good. Before that he was unfit and awful.
so next year he could be quite good?
The stats people quoting his goals would make him look arguably the best signing of the season.
But the reality of where those goals have come takes a fair bit of shine off.
