Gareth Bale

I've heard some Spurs fans compare him to Messi and Ronaldo.

Well, that would mean that Suarez is the best player in the world because he is better than Bale.

I like your thinking.

I hope he does really well to be honest. He didn't ask for the fee and he's come from nowhere to put himself in the spotlight.

Also if he does well, there's no way he'll come back to the Premier League unless he gets homesick.

Can't believe it's happened. No way is he worth as much as has been quoted. No one is that good.

Paying more than Ronaldo
