Graeme Souness is still not convinced Tottenham will convert the loan of Gareth Bale into a permanent contract despite the Welshman’s latest goalscoring performance in a 4-1 win over Crystal Palace.
Bale swept through Harry Kane’s center for the opener in 25 minutes before putting the Spurs in front just after the break with a powerful header from close range after Kane nodded back into the danger area.
Bale left the field in the 70th minute with the hosts 3-1 up and now has nine goals in his last 15 matches in all competitions, including four goals in his last Premier League games after his double against Burnley on Sunday. last.
Speaking after the game with Sky Sports, the 31-year-old said: ‘Sometimes it takes a little time, but I have enough experience to be patient.
‘You have to feel good and then seize the opportunities. You can go through the bad and the good form, so it comes down to being patient and when you have a chance to try and take advantage of it.
‘I’m not 21 anymore. I’m going to keep working hard and take each game as it comes. ‘
Despite his two-goal display, Sky Sports insider Souness criticized Bale for taking time to catch up and his general attitude this season, and felt he was making excuses by referring to his age.
If I’m him, I’m knocking on the door and I’m saying, ‘I’m ready.’ We were getting pictures of him on the bench uninteresting, undisturbed, smiling with his teammates (early in the season).
‘We are 11 games out. He’s been here all season. I just expected more from him. I am a huge fan of Gareth Bale when he plays soccer. I’m greedy, I just want to see more of him.
‘Those words he blurted out (with),’ I’m not 21 anymore, ” the body gets tired. ‘ We have all turned 31 years old.
“Your career ends too quickly when you are a soccer player and I wish it had a pint of enthusiasm more than it shows. Has a lot of talent. How many games have you played?
“Gareth Bale is a world but Mourinho says he is fragile.
“Would the Spurs be willing to risk taking a frail Bale past this year? I’m not sure given the salary he would want.”
‘Where is it going, in the future?’
Fellow expert Micah Richards was more optimistic that Bale would extend his second stint at N17.
“You will always think of happiness, but at the same time it is a short race. He seems happy at Spurs. He’s happy playing, ” he said.
“Every soccer player wants to play soccer. He wants to play. You are now at a stage where you need to control your body.
I think he could stay at Spurs. I think he would take a pay cut to stay.
Meanwhile, Roy Keane cited the work ethic of one of Bale’s former teammates as inspiration for the Real Madrid loan.
“It has been a good week for Tottenham. At some point you want Bale to play the 90 minutes, tonight could have been the ideal opportunity. If you have 90 minutes under your belt, that will give you confidence. ”
‘If you’re looking at Bale, he’s only 31 years old. His next game is Thursday. At some point, as a footballer, you have to play 90 minutes. ‘
‘He has worked with Ronaldo. You have to look at Ronaldo’s situation and see what Ronaldo does. He plays the games and Ronaldo is about 35 years old.
Tottenham’s next game is the first leg of the round of 16 at home to Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday before the North London derby on Sunday.
