Gareth Bale must take charge this season for Tottenham Hotspur – English Premier League
With the English Premier League set to take the stage in domestic football once again at the upcoming weekend, Tottenham’s fans must be wondering what the new season is going to be like for their club side. With all the rioting
in London especially in and around the Tottenham area, the build up to the league kick off has been eerie to say the least but there are some positives that the White Hart Lane faithful can take from the summer transfer window thus far even though Harry Redknapp
has been relatively subdued.
Tottenham do need reinforcements in their squad, there is absolutely no doubt about that but Harry Redknapp’s biggest challenge in the 2011 summer transfer window has been to keep hold of his star players such as Rafael Van der
Vaart, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. The Blues have believed to have put in a 22 million pound bid for Modric
in early July and then increased that bid to 30 million pounds recently but Tottenham have resisted the urge to sell their Croatian midfielder.
Gareth Bale who was a hot property in club football back in January and for most part of the 2010-2011 season, has been quietly working towards full fitness after suffering a knee injury near the end of the last English Premier
League season. Bale was one of the players who impressed for Tottenham in the UEFA Champions League; he caught the eye against Inter Milan when he embarrassed the likes of Zanetti and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maicon-c23157 to score a hatrick in San Siro before leading Tottenham to a win
against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan at White Hart Lane in the group stages.
The demand for Gareth Bale’s services has dwindled since then primarily because of two things; firstly the Welshman was inconsistent for the remainder of the season and secondly Bale was ruled out for around about four months due
to a wretched knee injury that he sustained in one of Tottenham’s last few matches. Furthermore clubs have been far more interested in Modric who was really the key to Tottenham’s season last time around.
However with other club’s strengthening with financial investment, Tottenham now must bank on their present squad to come up with the goods once again in the upcoming English Premier League season. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 is the player who
should take the lead in ushering Tottenham forward. Unlike http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Manchester City, Tottenham have not added that much quality into their ranks thus far, so it is likely that Redknapp will persist with a tried and tested combination of Rafael Van der
Vaart and Peter Crouch in attack.
On the wings http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Lennon-c3062 and Gareth Bale will be required to fulfil their responsibilities but most of the attention will be on Bale who is seen as the next big thing at the White Hart Lane. His slump in fitness last season was
attributed by some to excessive football on two fronts i.e. the Premier League as well as the UEFA Champions League. This time around Tottenham are only competing in the English Premier League as well as the Europa League which will surely be a secondary priority
for Redknapp. Bale must come good this season as it is his time to do so...
