Having demolished Internazionale with his hat-trick at San Siro in October, it seems only natural that Gareth Bale should be treated as the key to rebuilding the Italian side's fortunes.Today, I want to show you their leather phone cases. Should the Welshman go to Serie A he will face a severe test regardless of what he has accomplished with Tottenham Hotspur. The notion that he is, at times, unstoppable is one that would be put to the most rigorous test in Italy.One moment, you're seated comfortably at the end of the bench in a baseball cap.
This is not because Serie A bears much resemblance to the catenaccio era. There would, however, be an intense effort to curb him. Curiously, the Premier League still does not specialise in nullifying a key opponent. The worst Bale has experienced of late has been the tweaking of the Manchester United formation so there was plenty of width in midfield as much as defence. Neither Bale nor anyone else could prevent Sir Alex Ferguson's line-up from securing their goalless draw this month.
It would cost the 21-year-old Bale nothing if he ignored overtures for a while longer. Inter are one of the great clubs and they have not had to refer so much to their heritage after last season. In addition to the domestic double they also took the Champions League with the 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich. The European Cup thereby returned to their trophy room after 45 years.
While it would be laughable to emphasise that long delay when the great majority of clubs, including Spurs, have never won such a prize, there was cause to wonder how much everything had rested on Jose Mourinho's management. That he is gone from Inter and now leads Real Madrid may have some bearing on the fact that the Serie A club are just starting to get over the anticlimax of life without Mourinho. Rafael Benítez had been sacked by Christmas and it is now Leonardo who has them rallying in the table, while still outside the Champions League berths.
In their own domestic competition,inflatable life jackets vests are very lightweight and easy to wear over thick clothing without limiting mobility. Tottenham are also fifth at present. Even if they would contemplate selling Bale, it could make only monetary sense to a footballer who will feel in future that any wages should be in proportion to the $40m value now placed on him, if not hung round his neck. Should Bale feel the pull of a new league in another country, it would still not be sensible to lunge at the first offer, unless Inter hold some personal appeal.
Stabilit was the musical equivalent of a midlife crisis, like when your dad thinks he's “hip” by wearing ed hardy jeans.ity is something he ought to appreciate for a bit longer. It is at White Hart Lane, after all, that he has made his way arduously towards recognition. Injuries were a handicap and all the accolades from his period as a prodigy at Southampton had faded. He was steeped in the banality more associated with a journeyman footballer as he waited for a first Premier League victory that did not come until September 2009.A man was put under citizen's arrest for attempting to fight the inflatable bouncers rentals at Dan's Irish Sports Bar.
It has been hard work to get this far. The power of a fully developed physique, the control of the ball and the capacity to send it into the correct area were not always apparent. He has thrived, too, because of the strengthening of the Tottenham squad around him since Harry Redknapp became manager in the autumn of 2008. Many a player has rued the period in their life when they failed to appreciate just how lucky they were to be in a particular set of circumstances.
Bale does not seem the sort to be intoxicated by his own progress. Tottenham are far from perfect but the potential for progress is greater than Inter's at present. Bale can take his time.
All the excitement is relatively new for a footballer who knows it is not so long ago that he was seen as a left-back and so had to compete with Beno?t Assou-Ekotto for that position in the line-up.
If there is a sense of wonder of what he has now become, it is one he ought not to put in jeopardy by changing his life for no pressing reason. Money should not be so very telling either, since he will find it impossible to avoid great wealth if he just continues to play in the same manner.
A $40m fee has allure but Tottenham's growing status should be confirmed by Bale's preference to stay.
