Saw a 'letter to the editor' today asking if Ronaldo or Bale were any better than Sterling at the same age. Interesting point...
Bale was seen as a flop when he initially moved to Spurs and Ronaldo was just a flash haircut with step overs when he first joined United.
Raheem is 21 years old, has 157 top flight games under his belt - decent experience for someone that age. I hate the way he left us (partially his doing, partially Rodgers) but he's not peaked yet IF he works under the right coach.
Was he? I thought United was interested at the time?
Yeah Utd got beat for both Bale and Ramsey, though who knows how Bale would have fared at Utd - might have stayed at LB or moved to an attacking position quicker?
Edit: tbf to Bale, he was 17/18 when he moved to Spurs.
