    Is Gareth Bale the most athletic European born futbol player right now?

    He's not tricky like Ronaldo, he just seems to run around and through defenders from all over the world like they're standing still.

    to me, that guy is an animal ... the way he moves, I swear he looks like hes running with the speed of a horse No offense, I just think he is a GREAT player

    oh and ronaldo has lost his touch looon looong time ago, he was only great for a couple of years while being at man utd, thats why he is considered one of the best now, and because he scores 50% penalties and 49% tap-ins vs GIJON, sociedad and teams like APOEL

    Yea probably the most athletic but what do you get for being the most athletic? He has shown signs of being a game changer, first half of last season he was brilliant, but still lacks that ability to consistently change the game on his own the way when the going is tough, the way Messi, CR7, Rooney, Silva pulls something out of nothing.

    Yes I agree, he is extremely athletic but doesn't possess the complete game of the very best in the world.

    He is probably the best 'left footed winger' in the world right now. A little bit hit or miss, but I think that has a lot to do with Tottenham and not so much with Gareth Bale.

    He is at his best staying out on the flank getting his boots white with chalk. He has the ability to score goals, but his crosses are even better. There is no defending him when he uses pace to get past a player and pings a cross into the 6-yd box.
