anybody for CM is a reasonable idea just at the moment.
Bale has everthing,
... except a right foot
Did anyone see his run from just outside our box left of centre to just outside their box right of centre on Saturday? whatever happened and however he was allowed to do it doesn't really matter the point is that he did not instinctively just run out wide left, he ran through the middle.
I refer fellow posters to a number of my earlier posts about him migrating to the middle, that will come in time but he is doing fine on the left for now.
-Im sure he has played CM for Wales in a game.
He got moved there during one of their games, think he was asked to play behind a lone striker... could be wrong on that part though.
But he was fantastic there, everything went through him. Was a threat every time he had the ball.
Possibly in the future. For now he needs to continue on the left.
I think we have better candidates for that role anyway (Modric, Kranjcar, Kaboul). I'm more interested in how Modric is doing in the middle. He has really impressed me in there so far, and he could well make a permanent home in the middle for us. I think that would be perfect because i would love to see Lennon and Kranjcar in the same midfield as Modric and Palacios.
Lennon----Palacios----Modric----Kranjcar
How mouthwatering is that? It may look a bit attack minded, but boy do those 4 work hard.
I'm not saying that this is the only reason for that run but the fact that the Fulham players might expect him to work his way out to the left helped him to fool them as he ran through.
For me the run proved that he is talented, rather than he is more suited to playing in the middle...
Bale at left back.Well for starters it's not as mouthwatering (if that's the right word) as Bale instead of Kranky on the LW for starters
So are we now saying we need a team of Gareth Bales? Oh well, Keano. The king is dead, long live the king.
