and that's exactly why we are questioning the integrity of that award. feb 1985 to april 2008 is 23 years. you are not a young player after 23 years. for fücks sake - are you not embarrassed that a player @ 23 that was 2nd in ballon d'or in 2007 was a nominee of a young player award in a domestic league of england?

elampiro:

The ability that made him took the ball in his half and ran past his marker(s) to score a vital goal in a final match against Barca. The one that made him the most expensive footballer.

elampiro:

You are not more football knowledgeable than English FA.
I am sure he lost to Fabregas because because you cannot win both categories, same with Bale to Wilshere.

coogar:


bale does not dribble like maradona. playing the ball 12 yards ahead and running hard to get it isn't dribbling.

coogar:

this is why he believes a morönic jones is better than varane.
modric, parker, VDV were better than bale last season.
that award is a farce!
even spurs fans admitted bale was undeserving of the award in 2011.

coogar:


how did you arrive at that?
you mean bale earns more than messi/ronaldo? or you are talking about transfer fee?

.

coogar:


you are a dïckhead!
ronaldo won the young player & the PFA player the previous year in april 2007. you can win both categories. andy gray won both categories in 1977 as well.

chic2pimp:

This is the POINT I have been trying to drive home all day. "Kick and Run"/ "Push and Follow" is not doing a Diego Armando.

Modric was certainly more important to the team.

You won't hear me argue with the award He won in 2013 but the one He won in 2011 was nothing but a joke tbh.

elampiro:

Do you break the bank to buy an every day product?

Then Ronaldo lost to Fabregas in that category. Same way Bale lost to Wilshere.

You know the votes came in before the UCL final was played and Ronaldo was being accused at the time of being a big game flop. You remember?

chic2pimp:

Elamps Baba that is called PACE nau . No one is denying he has PACE. He has it In abundance sef however I am still looking for that "Special Ability" you claim He has got.

£80m in 2009 is about £100m in 2013.

coogar:


so how come bale won both categories in april 2013. i thought you said players can't win both at the same time.

coogar:
ronaldo was united's highest goal scorer that season - that was the season united mashed up teams left right and centre. how's he a big game flop. the 2nd best player in the world is a big game flop?

elampiro:


Dribbling is beating a man with ball. Which ever way it's done. Etin Esin can dribble better than Ronaldinho. Pius Okedia can dribble the wholefield with the ball always in his legs.


Modric was sub standard to Bale. Bale brought out everyone else in the Spur team then. It was like Maradona going to Napoli.

elampiro:

Not true at all.

No longer important. What is important is that Bale and Ronaldo had the same win/lose senior to junior awards.

They always said he wasn't playing well in big matches, even commentators said it. He responded to that criticism with his goal in the UCL final against Chelsea.

I think I gat to go. ELECTION THINGS. I WILL REST TIRE.

coogar:
elamps doesn't understand the meaning of dribbling. he's mixing up pace with dribbling. bale is a linear player. kick & follow in a straight line. he cannot weave around players. he doesn't even turn from trouble like messi or hazard or even nani. bale = valencia + end product.

coogar:


go & find out how much ronaldo's fee was in euros(2008) and how much bale's few was in 2013 in euros. .

coogar:

moda & VDV were the heartbeat of spurs that year.

he made a bigger fist of it in 2013 but one could still argue for van persie & suarez that year too. bale is a media whöre - they love him to bits. harry kane is also towing the same line.

I like his game. He drives the ball past defenders. However, we should watch him next season, but should he perform his price will go above 50m.

Sturridge is not dead yet. He just came from injury. Bent didn't have much football skills. Welbeck has never been a great scorer, he is relevant for other things he brings to the table.

Watching Wellbeck play yesterday, I still wonder how we let him go! He was everywhere.

elampiro:


Without pace, Messi and Hazard wold just be like Pius Ikedia.

Ikedia is a better dribbler than Messi but he didnt have the pace. Okocha and Etin suffered similar fate. They could dribble but they havent the speed to advance directly like Messi. I had one guy in my team called Wale . He could dribble a team of 30 players but he had the speed os a snail.

So whether pace or no pace, when you are able to get a defender behind you to score, you are a great dribbler. AFTER ALL THE GREATEST DRIBBLES DONT MAKE IT DUE TO LACK OF PACE.

good night.

chic2pimp:


Any dummy can beat a man with the ball. Even Phat Ibime sef(i hail u o) . The word Running with the ball at pace is what Bale does.

The engine of the team sub standard to Bale?..... My Elamps Baba. Bia this one na new one o. You turn am to Maradona's performances at Napoli kwanu?

elampiro:

Ikedia is a better dribbler than Messi but he didnt have the pace.

MrTA:
I'm surprised some think bale was destroying from leftback. It was well documented he was poor there because he was a very poor positional left back. His defending was terrible and exposed spurs but his attacking runs made Harry convert him to left wing and even then his output wasn't all that amazing. I even remember Nani tearing spurs a new one when Bale played leftback and nani scored an amazing goal from his side at old Trafford.

Dadehmola:


Elampiro, Stop telling lies on a public forum....

Small time now, you go begin dey give us stories on how you coached him for that field behind Agbor road when in actual fact, your earlier assertions suggest you don't even know who the dude is..

Pius ikedia and Tijani Babangida were arguably the quickest players in Africa at that time. Pius was Nigeria's version of Shaun-wright-Philips...plenty of pace but little tactical awareness and Ofcourse, zero end product!!

SIRcumalot:

Bale is a great free kick taker and can dribble the ball well, possesses a very powerful shot and can score from just about anywhere on his day.
Even his goals and assist numbers are great.
He is a big occasion player as he showed it twice for the entitled Madrid fans.
Don't sleep on the Monkey lord he is an Elite player.

Ibime:


Ninja don't be calling my name anyhow. I'm a technician with the ball. I dribble ninjas while walking sef.

Nihilist:


How somebody can claim that Pius Ikedia didnt have pace is beyond me.
Pace was the only thing Pius actually had

Nihilist:
Bale is not overhyped at all chic2pimp
AT ALL
