Nope. I don't think they will either.

Also if Bale cost £85m, how much are Messi and Ronaldo worth? They are different class.

If bale cost £1 less than Ronald, then it would work...all about ego

Completely agree with you on this.

Shame the ego is one way from that ****ing Portuguese crybaby!

 

[Eksman]

Putting them together is gonna make the team overall worse off, they will each be going for glory there will be no teamwork what so ever

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Do I think putting two world class footballers together will work?

Yeah. Probably.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

They should score outrageous numbers of goals between them. Shoe-horning them both into the same team is a fair old challenge though, all the best Carlo!

Well strangely enough I was considering just that a couple of days ago. Both of these guys are used to being the centre of attention and whilst Ron has always had a massive ego Bales has arrived more recently, and though he now says that Ron is the greatest I think that will change. Especially if Ron feels like he's slipping into Bales shadow. I'll give their cosy relationship until the end of the season.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

It didn't work when they put Ronaldo, Zidane and Figo in a team where Raul was already top dog.

Oh.

What a daft thread. Making an assumption of a team's season and dynamics on a one minute training clip?

Yeah righto.

 

[beorhthelm]

i dont think ego will come into it too much. the bigger problem is simply tactics, they both traditionally play the same/similar position. does Ronaldo go central, or Bale go to the right wing? or both central? who gets displaced doing so. and they've lost Ozil who has a stonking assist record, is that going to impact the performance of the others?

interesting problems for Ancelloti to have, they'll still stuff 95% of the teams they'll face.

I don't think Bale will want the limelight and will be going for glory. He did what he did at Spurs because he was the only player that could do that and the team needed it. Bale will be happy to score a few and give Ronaldo the ball so he can do what he wants.

Bale is the long term replacement. Ronaldo will head back to United next summer, and Bale is there for a season to settle in, before becoming Ronaldo's successor.

That's my theory anyway, with zero inside knowledge.

Eh?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

That's a horrible website, LAD.

I might try and watch a bit of Spanish football to see how he gets on. I've not seen much/any of the £85m man at all.

 

[papajaff]

Eh?

Exactly

 

[saafend_seagull]

hopefully both start tonight, game on sky @ 9pm

 

[Albion Robster]

I notice Ronaldo didn't apologise to his 'teammate' after the challenge either.
1-0 Bale with Nutmeg at the end.

That's what I think, again with zero inside knowledge

They both wander so much I don't see much overlap, differently-footed so they shouldn't even quibble over free-kicks. It's going to be one crazy team.
