He is a very powerful winger. Strong, tall, fast. Physically he is like Cristiano Ronaldo. My biggest problem is that I don't think he can beat players with technique, he needs his pace to do so. Giggs was fast as all hell, but he could still beat a player using a bit of trickery and technique. I'm not too sure Bale is capable of that. He might become useless if he loses his pace, much like our golden haired demi god. I can't stand how he presents himself to the media. He has a pathological need to argue and justify with the media that he isn't one of those 'foreign diving types'.
