Bale, Sandro, Caulker and Walker.Who has the biggest potential?

[AngerManagement]

It's tough, AM, because, as I have explained in my post above^^^^ (that no-one saying it isn't tough seems to have bothered reading), a lot of what you are talking about with Bale is proven ability, and proven ability is not potential. The OP asked which of the 4 had more potential, not which of them had the most proven ability, or the most proven ability and potential combined. Bale has room for improvement, and that is what I would now class as his potential.
If I was asked who will be the best player, I would probably go for Bale...but even that, as someone suggests above, is to do with his glam factor.

Personally I think the OP is asking who is going to be the better player when all is set and done. (notice how he says he feels Walker will be worth more than Bale in a couple of years)

I think you are focusing too much on the semantics and taking them too literally.

Bale is further down his development than Sandro so yes perhaps it can be argued that Sandro has further room for improvement.

But then Sandro is also already a very good player so one could argue a 12 year old has more potential to develop than him (as they are not anywhere near as good now)

I feel the question, or should I say my understanding of the question is that it means who when all is set and done will be the best player (out of those listed) not which player can improve the most.

Bale will be the best winger in the world, if he's not already in contention for it.

Sandro's going to grow into something beastly.

Walker's going to be a very good right back, but not quite world class. Unless we move him onto the wing Bale-esque.

Can't say I've seen enough of Caulker to make comment.

I think you are right, in which case the question should be who will be the best player of the 4. I just think, improvement aside, Bale is hardly an unknown quantity, so as much of his how good is in proven ability as in potential, whereas almost all f Caulker is unknown quantity or potential.

Most potential to show, from present perception = Sandro.
Who will be best player = Bale.

I wouldn't disagree with that assessment

Although I often wonder just how good Bale can become and Sandro is already looking pretty damn good (I think maybe he will not get much better as such, just play a lot more so showcase his talent more)

I was also impressed by Caulker in the QPR game and have frankly been amazed by just how good Walker has looked this year.

Its a good position to be in, Modric is still young enough to keep getting better and Kaboul is growing in stature all the time. We have a squad full of potential if we can keep it together and dare I say add the right type of quality to it perhaps we really could win the title in my lifetime mg:

well is is 2012..... I might have fled to the mountains by then:wink:

Harry Kane.

The poll actually asks who has the most potential in their position. Watching the game last night Ray Wilkins said that he thought that Walker was the best defensive right back in the country (or was it just English right back?). Bale is already the best in the country in his position. Sandro isn't there yet but has the potential to get there. Will any of them become the best in their position internationally? I guess it depends on the competition for their position, but I have very high hopes for Sandro & Bale and think Walker will be a star. Would Ronaldo count as Bales competition at LW? Are there any others better than him now?

Why...are you in Iron Maiden :shrug:

 

[felmani26]

All have fantastic potential in their relative positions so it would hard to say who has the most but you'd have to say Bale and Sandro are on their way to becoming world class performers already, Walker becoming very good and Caulker it's far too early but the signs are promising.

In any case, isn't it brilliant to have the talent we do have at our disposal and have threads like this!

 

[tobi]

Ronaldo would count as a LW.

I can't think of many players with the same skill set (and play the same position) that are currently better.

Bale will be the best player out of the bunch, but Caulker has the most unfilled potential currently (mainly because the others are internationals and playing for the 3rd placed team in the country)
