Gareth Bale - Britains best player

Last night Tottenham surpassed Chelsea and overtook the third spot in the EPL thanks to their 3-2 away win at upton park. During the latest weeks Tottenham have won matches without actually playing at high standards, the reason to the "success" is simply thanks to the Welshman Gareth Bale. 8 of the 10 latest spurs goals speaks for itself. With pace that only can be matched by a handful of premier league players he has been a nuisance for the various opponents back four. Not only is it amazing the amount of goals Bale is scorin for spurs but the quality of the finishes, the decisive goal last night being a prime example of that. You can argue that van Persie is more important for the league leaders, however a lot of van Persies goals could have been scored by welbeck, chicharito or Rooney , not taking anything away from the sublime season that van Persie is having. Bales goals have meant the world to spurs and their fans, managing to reach the third and final direct qualification spot to the champions league. If Bale keeps up with this fantastic form it will be hard for Villas-Boas and Daniel Levy (Spurs chairman) to hold on to the Welshman during the summer transfer window. The only way to keep him is to secure champions league for next season. In my mind a player of Bales quality has to play in the world best club competition. We all remember what he did at San Siro against Inter in 2010. Gareth Bale - without a doubt Britains best player
