Speed is important... https://psv4.vk.me/c539520/u222382617/docs/fa730646f713/untitled-17gul35.gif?extra=hmHOMJbewVrWZH8nB38fT1GMOL4pTpyFy9XRrGy7RS7myMcyRRbPlZnRTtCAlZdYctub4xX7DNHL1UlP41wIEx4m9diWT-PXo10 ...but the thing is a player like Walcott doesn't have other factors bale has. ---------------- Shot power is important too. If your shots are not poweful then you can't score such goals: http://giant.gfycat.com/BackFeistyDungbeetle.gif ---------------- Our free kick takers are Fabregas (I think just scored one in pre-season), Oscar, Willian and Filipe Luis. How many free kicks have they scored? If we had a player like Bale we would certainly score more free kicks. ---------------- Left-footed players are rare. Yes, Mata is left-footed but Mourinho didn't want him. Royston Drenthe is also left-footed and I'm sure none of us want him. But I'm talking about Gareth Bale who Mourinho wanted him in Madrid. Mourinho on left-footed players (2013): "I've always liked a right-sided player to be left-footed. I started with (Arjen) Robben and (Damien) Duff, then (Goran) Pandev at Inter, and (Angel) Di Maria and (Mesut) Ozil. Many clubs do it. I like wingers coming in on the inside for the penetrative movement, for the pass, for the shot."
