As I say and will do so for a final time I would much rather see Bale playing than stuck on the bench. I remember in the early stages of his Madrid career that wonderful goal in the Spanish Cup Final where he was forced off the pitch but still managed to keep hold of the ball and went on to score. I played it back many times. It was great to see. Seeing him on the bench for so much of the past four years is such a waste.
