Because he supports Arsenal ;) Funnily enough Ronaldo's dribbling largely relies on kick and chase as does out very own Christian Tello... seems to work pretty well too.

Nah it's not that. I just don't think he's "world class". Bale is definitely an excellent player, and very effective at what he does... but world class? Is the definition changing to include any outfield player that has a good season?

Messi, Zidane, Henry, Xavi, Eto'o, Ronaldo, Ibra, etc... that is my definition of world class

He's more valuable to his team than Ibra and Eto'o right now.

More valuable ≠ Better

Nor does it mean "world class". If so Benteke, among many others are better than Ibra & Eto'o. Owkay.
But then again, it's a statement coming from a Welshman. Bale is a great player, but definitely not comparable to Ibra & Eto'o (yet?).

Well tbf the amount of times I've seen Prem defenders give him tons of space on his left foot makes me seriously wonder what's wrong with them :lol:

Yet Ronaldo walks over La Liga players like they are children while he didn't hit near as many goals in the England :p

How so? Ibra scored 29/assisted 7 (leading his team to the titles) while Bale scored 21/assisted 4 in their respective leagues.

Ibrah is striker, Bale is Winger

Ibrah plays in inferior league
