While I think Salgado has done really well recently, it's wrong to say that the only reason he has been exposed is because of Diouf. Salgado was exposed because of his severe lack of pace and it's only a matter of time before he's exposed again.

If you saw what Gareth Bale did to Chelsea (and Terry) yesterday Den I think you should re consider your comments on Salgado.

Just like with Olsson shoving Bale from left back to left wing has created a star. The Le saux effect but in reverse.

OK, glad that you too can see he's not good enough to play full back. So if we need a left winger, why not buy a left winger?

Leave Bale alone, he's too slow.

Actually you'll find Gordon that den doesn't rate Bale. He's a bit sluggish apparently.

I think it's a little unfair to bring posts up like that from last year though, I myself wasn't a big Bale fan but he's come on leaps and bounds recently and has to be one of the most improved players of the season. He was always a player that was tipped for big things and had talent but now he's actually showing it.

When he destroyed Salgado that was the first time I'd really seen his explosive acceleration as well, perhaps as a youngster when he wasn't fully developed he didn't have that turn of pace but now he's grown up and reached 20 or so maybe he has become a little bit sharper.

The emergence of Bale really has made me be less critical on Salgado's performance against him though, doesn't look like it was a one off and I think we can expect to see Bale to do it to other teams.

Without wishing to get into an argument with Den about this (again!), he does have a tendency to write young players off based on a few performances. Bale is yet another example of how much a young player can progress in a relatively short space of time.

Bale is playing how he played at Saints (and Wales) a few years back. He used to bomb up and down the left all the time and scored a 5 or so from left back since he made his debut at 16. He then went to Spurs and suffered injuries and looked average. Now he's back to full fitness he's playing like he did at Saints and looks like he can only get better.

Sorry for some reason I've only just seen this.

The comment was only four months ago. Granted he's had some headlines recently due to hitting form but it was always a question of 'when', not 'if'. Imagine Bale on our left hand side now!

It's just the comment about him being too slow which confused me. He is absolutely rapid.

Surely you can only judge a player on what he's to that date in his career?

4 months ago Bale was and had been a bit of a flop at spurs.

Undoubtedly and he still has big flaws in his game that need working on. However he isn't (and has never been) slow.
