I can't believe the consensus is that you lot don't want a world class player in the team?

It's a yes from me!

Glad someone else has said it - I've felt like I'm losing my mind reading this thread!

The bloke would be the best player to ever play for us.

If you think the Bale of now is better than the current Zaha you are with greatest respect off your rocker. The man can’t even run for 45 minutes. If it was American Football and you could bring him on for set pieces then great, but otherwise he would be a liability and should be kept away from our team.

I kind of said the same earlier and then thought about it. I realised Bale could play 9 for us; he's probably better than Firminio and certainly better than Benteke. We would then be putting Mateta on the bench. He could come on later - or vice versa. Not that any of this would happen, of course.

What is that based on? In what games has Bale looked unfit or unable to perform at that level?

He played in the Prem 2 seasons ago and averaged more than a goal every 90 minutes across 20+ appearances.

I love Zaha to bits, he's my favourite ever player, but Bale is in a completely different bracket.

I can't see it happening anyway for numerous reasons, but I agree for the most part. Would be a brief but welcome additoon.

You obviously haven't watched us a lot then, tho tbf, if you're not old enough, imho, Lombardo was by far the greatest player ever to don the shirt.

Big rumour here in Spain, is that he'll go to Getafe(the small Madrid team) as he doesn't want to uproot his young family as they are ensconced in Spanish life & education for the kids.

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

You're right, I was too young for Lombardo - Wilf is in a league of his own in terms of Palace players for me.

However, I do think the Lombardo comparison is a good one - he was a player who played the majority of his career at a much higher level, and then joined us at 31, and by all accounts we were amazed by how good he was.

Bale is 32, spent the majority of his career at a much higher level... and his peak was considerably higher than Lombardo's was.

If he wants fifty grand a week, I'm game.

Probably after (and will probably get) at least five times that. At which point it is MADNESS.

 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

This signing sums up his attitude, he has no interest in playing in any form of real competitive game unless its for Wales at the world cup, not that I blame him, a mid table la liga team with no pressure or unrealistic expectations just to remain match fit suits him.

I couldn't think of a worse signing for a mid table prem team to make.
