The biggest question surrounding Tottenham Hotspurs' superstar Gareth Bale this off-season was not how good he is, but rather how much that remarkable, world class talent is worth. Since Real Madrid began expressing serious interest in the Welsh international midfielder this past May, numbers between £85 million and £105 million have been thrown around concerning his transfer fee, with the most recent news being disagreement on which end of that gaudy spectrum he belongs. Nevertheless, the north London club has maintained his services for the time being and there is little doubt that in terms of speed, intensity, strength and power in a winger, it is near impossible to find someone better in the Premier League (and maybe even the world). At only 24 years of age, the scary part about him is that he can still get better, and while it seems likely that one of the world's giants will pick him up eventually, he will certainly fetch a steep price for his services.
