Gareth Bale left Tottenham in a big money move to Real Madrid, but seemed to be forever in the shadows of the great Ronaldo. The Spanish crowd have never really warmed to the Welshman and his agent hinted that his client could leave the Bernabeau when he said the fans treatment of Bale was a disgrace.
So now the speculation is of where he could end up if he moved back to the Premier League, and according to Adrian Durham, he is more likely to come to Arsenal than return to Tottenham. Durham said: “He’s won nothing in the English game and I think this summer is the time to get yourself back here,”
“Go to a club that’s going to win something, i.e. not Tottenham Hotspur, and win things in the English game, really drive a club forward.
“Whether it be Liverpool or a Manchester United.
“It would be such a tap in to go to Manchester City and join what they’re doing.
“I don’t necessarily think Pep [Guardiola] would want him, I think he might go with younger players, I might be wrong.
“It would be a bit deceitful really to go to Chelsea if you’re Gareth Bale, think of the Tottenham connection there.
“It’s impossible, surely isn’t it, to go to Arsenal.
“But Arsenal fit the bill, he should be going to a club that he can make a difference, that club that needs to be pushed over the line.
“That’s why I’m talking about a Liverpool, that’s why I’m talking about a Manchester United, it would be an Arsenal.
“But could he go there, really?”
Really? Would it be worse for Bale to go to Chelsea than Arsenal? And would the Arsenal fans even take to an ex-Spud if he joined us in the summer?
What do you think?
