I see some fanboys are overly excited due to the form of a diver known as Gareth Bale. In reality Bale is good but nowhere near as good as Walcott who has raped Hotspurs on numerous occasions just a year ago. When Spurs come to real Stadium that is Nou Highbury, they play like sheep and concede 5 goals at a time because they feel the wrath of a team that has finished above them for 19 years straight. In fact I can understand Hotspurs frustration as Arsenal had to find new local rivals in Chelsea in order to even have a rival back in 2001-2009 since hotspurs where as challenging as playing Nchampionship team. But since heavy investments and thefts by Tottenham their team became somewhat decent and their faces dont have to boil in their own stadium when Arsenal comes there just like it did for previous 17 years.

So lets look at stats:
last 3 years for Bale benefit as it is around time he started playing on Wing:

Gareth Diver Bale
2010
Games: 41 Goals: 12 Assists: 3
2011
Games: 48 Goals: 15 Assists: 16
2012:
Games: 40 Goals: 23 Assists: 7

Total: 129 games: 50 goals 26 Assists

Theo Speeder Walcott
2010
Games: 33 Goals: 13 Assists: 12
2011
Games: 45: Goals: 13 Assists: 12
2012:
Games: 25 Goals: 19 Assists: 14

Games: 103 Goals: 45 goals Assists: 36

Which means:
Diver: 0.39 goals per game 0.20 assists per game

Speeder: 0.44 goals per game 0.35 assists per game



WOW! Smashed Gareth jelly legs Bale right up!!!

bump for truth

both are bad

Still not as bad as your rank in your Guild.

Bales defense + work rate + finishing + strength >>>>>>>>>>> Walcott

I lol'd this proves you are just a silly American bandwagoner who doesn't even watch games, somebody pushes bale and he is no the ground crying and he got caught out so many times in defense when he played in Left mid that I would rather have a player that doesn't defend at all than one that is supposed to track back but doesn't, he usually was found in CAM/ST area when he was playing LM and sometimes even in Right parts of the field lol!

What make Bales so important is that he scores the wining goals. Walcott to, but not as much as bale.

Exactly the opposite

No

yes.... check the goals and then come back you Austrian Librarian!
