As he gains experience he will become the best wing back in the league. Walcott is a good young player as well, but he will be stifled by Wengers insistence on playing a team full of foreigners.

I'm not knocking him, not at all; he seems a fine prospect, but the kid hasn't played a dozen league games yet FFS, and any premiership player should stand out in the Wales squad! Neither player has been around long enough to make such an assessment. Based upon what we have seen thus far, the simple fact is that Walcott has proven that on his day he can be world class, whilst Bale has yet to do anything that will have got him noticed outside of WHL. “Greater consistency”???

But i believe Gareth has shown us most (if not all) of what he can do, where as Theo clearly has more to give, judging on the various flashes of his skills. Gareth is kinda in a raw stage at the moment, so yes he can obviously improve on what he has done...but we will see nothing new, just way better. Theo on the other hand I believe has so much more to offer and wow the crowds with. At the moment it may look like Spurs have the better player, but i think Arsenal have the better guy in the long run. Theo is skill, pace and very soon clinical finishing. England and Arsenal are lucky to have such a talent. To conclude both boys are class. Tottenham should be glad to have Gareth and Arsenal proud to have Theo. They are the future great generation in football and they are in good clubs to help them on their way. Arsenal and Arsene Wenger are known for nurturing young talent and making them the best and Spurs play their youths as well...so best of luck.

The football players and media all seem to be more excited about Theo's potential than Bale's. Even before his midweek heroics. Bale seems to have more consistency over his few games he's played but I'm notsure I've seen anything close to what could be referred to as world class. Still it's consistency that Tottenham desperately need (and to win). At their tender ages consistency is not really something fans should be demanding or judging them for. Glimpses of whatever brilliance they may possess should be how we appraise them. In which case it's Thoe all the way.

The boy has every thing. I can see saf going after him in a season or two but spuds would probably want over 30 million for him. He would be a worthy successor for giggs. Walcott has only had 2 good games you cant compare the two. When ever i have seen bale play he has impressed me. The boy has every thing.
