Bale in interview:

http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/09/27/Prem-Bale-on-Tottenham-form/

the most important part :

Bale continued: "I came here because I was offered first-team football in the Premiership.
"They were the most interested in me and stayed keen. I was going to join in January [2007] but I wasn't quite sure so they even waited for me until the summer. They showed a lot of faith, a lot of respect for me as a player and I just want to repay that now."

good he would like to repay that, would love to see him here until the end of his career .. but don't blame me if I'm starting to worry, he is our best talanted player now.

Probably reading far too much into this but that sounds to me like he feels he needs to repay the club. An "I'm happy here" would have been nice.

i respect your choices, it might be i said that because he is my current favourite player, but i really rate him very highly more than these, when i saw his determination to win every ball, good crosses and a great runs, i really thing he is very good player, he just need to start as LB where he won't need to waste his energy on chasing players.

I would say Woodgate is our best player (consistently) at the moment. Bale still has a way to go but has LOADS of potential.

fair comments Q8 :) - it's all about opinions etc

but I still think Bale has a little to prove yet before we can call him our best player

I think I'll go with that call Mido :) Woody really is the biz of late

but of course I rate Bale and maybe one day he will be our best player - can easily see it happening

currently our best player is Gomes then Woody then Lennon.........then maybe Bale. In talent Bale is up there with Modric, Bentley and King.......but these things are difficult to tell

have we actually not won a prem game when he has played? he is quality nonetheless

I heard that we'd never won a game he'd played the other day on the radio so did my own research.

- he got injured at newcastle last season
- up until that point, we'd won three games (derby 4-0 in the prem, boro 2-0 in the CC, and Famagusta in the UEFA)
- he only played in the boro and famagusta game and I think he missed the derby game.

so yeah he hasn' won in the prem with us.

Gomes? the guy is a joke

Woodgate is our best player by a long stretch
