England manager Fabio Capello believes Tottenham winger Gareth Bale is the best player in the world.

The 21-year-old Welshman is hoping to shake off a back injury in time to face AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League at White Hart Lane on Wednesday, and Capello has highlighted his threat.

The Italian said: "Gareth Bale is today the number one player in the world.

"He is the only one who can make a difference in the role he plays as he has pace, technique and strength. Those are three qualities it is hard to find in a player who is not a striker.

"Bale doesn't set out from defence like a full-back. He drives forward and when gets nearer to goal he moves infield and shoots with amazing accuracy.

"Bale reminds me of Roberto Carlos, who was born a left-back and who matured physically and in terms of tactical awareness. Carlos was an explosive player and the only one who came even close to Bale."

Harry Redknapp joined in the praise of Bale by describing the Wales international as the 'best left-sider around' and believes the 21-year-old can continue to flourish at White Hart Lane.

Serious question: Why do people keep going on about Gareth 'A few good games last year' Bale?

apparently he can almost win games just on his own. the evidence? a game where he scored a few but his team lost. they couldnt even muster a draw and thats an example of him almost winning games single handedly

Christ I remember that, blatantly an excuse incase Bale had a brilliant game against England.

I genuinely think Capello said that with his tongue firmly in his cheek.

I'm waiting for Bale to get the ball and the inevitable "and here he is".

Still one of the funniest things I've ever read. I thought he had actually lost his marbles.

What irritates me about Clive Tyldsley is the choreographed nature of his commentary. He clearly puts together a few phrases and cheesy sound bites in preparation for the matches he covers. It’s like he’s on a constant mission to sound seminal. It’s usually just hyperbolic pap.

Matt8Pie · « **Reply #1110 on:** September 6, 2011, 07:58:26 pm »

Someone should make a tally of how many times Bale's name is mentioned.

There should be 2 columns 1 how many times his name is mentioned when he has the ball, and 2 how many times his name is mentioned when he is nowhere near it.

Looked like quite a few seats free, but then i spose with 90k available 10k missing would look a big chunk.
