Bhustighre bro,   Bale is def. doin great so far this season, but I really hope he won't be one season hit. U said Bale has been magnificent since last season where as Messi has been one of the best since 2007 n look at his impact in Barca where they have/ had one of the best players in each position. 62 games 62 goals since last season and goin, top scorer in CL in 2 yr in a row and seems like he is on his way to top again , youngest player to score 30+ goals in CL beatin Raul's record and the list goes on. Furthermore, Ribery, Robben(RM outcast)  play in Germany but still considered one of the bests. Batistuta played in Fiorentina and Roma, but is considered one of the best striker of the game. Its not only players in CL, but, tactics count alot like how they play in home matches and use different strategy in away matches in KO stage. Anything can happen in football but team should be good enough to make that "anything" to happen or atleast be able to fight.

I agree they all are great players. But Bale is definitely the one who can be as great as them in future. I don't think at the age of 20,21 Roben and Ribery were as good as Bale is now. Though I still think Ribery is overrated. Messi is great,everybody knows. (despite the support of other world class team mates esp. xavi, iniesta). And it's not wise to compare Bale with Messi now. Should he be given a chance to play in team like barca, then we can compare.  Lets see how Bale performs in the coming games..so far his attitude is brilliant.

bhusti... >let me put forward my view, first of all, I did not say one man can win CL, I just said if his team mates help him, he will go very far and will be famous like messi or whoever. aah assumptions!  > secondly, a good player can't win every game for a team, but definitely can have impact, like he did against champions of europe. Looks like you did not watch game.  a good player "in my definition" does more than 2 goals 0 assists in 10 EPL games. And sorry to disappoint you but I did watch the game.  > Did you see him playing against chelsea? Against manchester city,arsenal? His wembly goal?  Nobody is denying he is a good player.  > Did you notice how many times he made maicon fool? He scored 3 goals and assited  2 in 2 matches.  It would be interesting if you showed his stats for EPL as well if I may ask? It's way too easy to bend stats.  > For that to happen in football, do you know how many times one should try?  Yes sir, I do know (at least I think so).  >He has been magnificient since last season. I don't think your messi or whoever can have impact like him playing in a club like spurs, who are just playing their debut CL. you are open to believe what you feel. But saying messi won't have an impact in club like spurs is oh well...Have you seen how many goal Messi creates on his own and how many assist he provides. Barca, yes the mighty barca would be struggling if it was not for Messi. And just so you know, spurs is a great team. I don't think saying its debut CL makes them amateur.  > I don't mean bale is better than messi but we must accept that messi is famous because he plays for barcelona. Not true. Messi is famous because he scores.  > For example, had Ozil not been playing at Madrid or clubs of that level, despite his performance in WC, I doubt he would be famous like now. more assumptions! more people watch RM game then marseilles  I suppose. Why do u blame some player who can't make it to RM. Why are you completely ignoring the fact that RM, yes RM came after Ozil.  >Clubs matter.Arshavin would not be famous had he been playing at cska,  Yeah as if CSKA are champions of europe. Seriously, Arshavin is a great player (ok not that great).  > ronaldo would not win fifa award,had his team mates not helped win CL. Ronaldo had more hand in winning the CL than anyone else "IMO".  > You sound as if the world does not produce any football stars again. I really didnt mean to imply that. All I am saying is I dont make someone a hero from couple games. There are way too many better players lying around.
