This says he has 13 and 1, remember I was only talking about the Premier League \http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/77653/gareth-bale?cc=5901

EDIT: Also, not sure if they updated his stats from yesterdays game but it says his last game was 3-2 vs West Ham so I'm assuming they did.

Check this one http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/gareth-bale/profil/spieler_39381.html

And I consider Bale more useful than Mata, cos with his pace and shots he can hurt anyone. Mata is almost useless as soon as his opponent his faster and stronger than him, which is the case as soon as we play City, Bayern, Real, Milan and probably most European top teams.

The thing is levy will want atleast 40-50m for bale and i dont think we will pay that.The one club i fear he may go to is manu,bale is tailor made for their style of play but luckily i cant see manu paying that much money for him either.It will be either real or staying at spurs for bale.

Well I've wanted us to sign him for a while now! He is exactly what we don't have right now! A fast winger who can use the width of the pitch, who can cut inside and fire in a good shot. He will provide us that counterattacking pace and desire we've been lacking (well at least under FSW)

The problem with Bale for me is that he always had good half seasons but not yet quite a full run at top speed. But who are we kidding ? Bale to Chelsea ? Not gonna happen. I am not even sure if he´d leave Tottenham at all.

I dont want Bale here, just like I dont want Neymar...

We have Hazard for LW already, no need for anything else (only backups).

Are we seriously comparing Bale to Mata?

Bale is a fantastic player but I wouldn't trade him for Mata or for Hazard. Why? Because Bale is simply a driving force. Yes he is extremely talented and can play in a host of positions, but the only reason he is so coveted at the minute is because he is one of a very few number of wingers in world football right now who actually drive at opponents, rather than coming inside. He is something different to what we've got, so naturally it is in our fickle nature to want him here.

However, back to my original point - Bale is great at what he does, but what else can he do?

  • Free-kick specialist? Yes, but he's no better from dead-ball scenarios than Juan Mata, in my opinion.
  • Great goalscorer? Not particularly, though he is having a good season in front of goal. However both Hazard and Mata are also potential 25-goals-a-season material.
  • Inventive, and visionary? Not especially, though he has his moments. That's the reason why Spurs have someone like Holtby, or previously Modric, in their midfield. Mata and Hazard are more three-dimensional in that they are hybrid midfielders who possess the drive and the vision, especially Hazard.
  • High work rate? Exceptional stamina and frequently seen helping in a defensive capacity, but again to no greater extent than any of our midfield players.

He has incredible potential and will only get better, but the difference is a driving run against the likes of a well-disciplined Stoke defence might pay off one time in ten, but you have better chances of breaking them down when you have the vision and inventiveness coupled with it, as Mata and Hazard do. They are different players, yes, but I feel that though Bale is brilliant and would do a job for us, the way this team operates means we need our inventive players working in tandem. From a stylistic and functional point of view, Hazard and Mata are better options for us.

But by any means, Bale won't be at Spurs for long. There is a lot of talk that di Maria is not content at Real Madrid, and that leaves a perfect slot for Bale to slip right in to. He'd fit Real's current system so freakin' well.

Tottenham's Gareth Bale is £80m target for Manchester United AND Manchester City AND Chelsea

Prem trio are all believed to have made it clear they are willing to spend that much on star also linked with Real Madrid and PSG.
