Gareth Bale performance was less than below par in the Nou Camp Stadium, which made critics all over the world criticize him especially regarding his big money move to the Santiago Bernabou as a waste of resource, they didn't stop there they also compared him to Neymar who shone on the same day. Don't get me wrong Neymar is a player of class which i also admire for his dribbling skills and an impressive eye for goal attitude, but it should be noted that Bale missed pre season while Neymar didn't also Neymar move to Camp Nou happened on time while Bale's move delayed immensely. The Barcelona vs Madrid match was Bale first start ever while Neymar was already fully integrated in the starting line up at Barcelona. So even pundits and men of the press know fully well that comparing both men as at that time is nothing more than a a far cry.
However, four days later he (Gareth Bale) silenced his critics with a double against Sevilla. He also continued his fine form with an impressive solo goal against the Old ladies in Turin, which happens to be his first ever champions league goal. And this brings me to the Suarez issue.
Who is to say Suarez would not have achieved the same feat of scoring his first ever champions league goal had he signed a contract with the Gunners, the Striker was public about his interest of playing in the champions league, he was ambitious which to the best of my knowledge is a good thing but the powers that be in the Meyserside Reds Football Club would not allow this young man a move to the Emirates side to achieve his dream which will remain outstanding perhaps till January or next summer.
It should be known that Luis Suarez and Gareth Bale are roughly age mates and if you have watched them on the pitch play i believe you can say each individual is talented in his own special way, but believe in me you that if you take a peek from Luis Suarez side now he is probably itchy, itchy in the sense of the things he could have achieved had he signed for Arsenal, not even to mention the way Arsenal ruthlessly thrashed Liverpool 2 - 0 recently in the English Premier League.
I remember vividly during the transfer window when Liverpool Legends were all over the Press, rattling their tongues that a move from Liverpool to Arsenal is a step down for the Striker, my guess is that they are talking from a historical point of view not even based on an analysis of 5 years ago.
Gareth Bale is an outstanding and unbelievable player who has raw skills and his potentials definitely speaks for him, no matter how the Press in the Spanish County try to protest his signing fee as a hindrance to his progression among the white angels, i'm sure he would prove them wrong.
Luis Suarez on the other hand should have been given a chance to leave just the way Torres left for Chelsea and now have a champions league medal to his laurel, Liverpool should have respected this young man ambitions to move to Arsenal and play in the champions league because he would have really excelled in the champions league, he is really a behemoth of a striker, a beast of an attacker and a swift striker.
