One of the best seasons by Tottenhams average standards. 21 goals and 4 assists by the same standards Walcott had 14 goals and 10 assists in the same season. Henry had 24 goals and 20 assists in one season. Bale was overated and bailed out by his pace and power and as soopn as he lost a bit of that he struggled to leave Madrids bench.

He’s one of the most complete attackers ever. He doesn’t really doesn’t have a weak point in his play. He can play the lethal winger with blinding speed and skill similar to a Son. The CF with power and timing of runs and passes similar to aguero , or the striker with in the lethal in the box runs finishing with volleys and headers like lewandowski. He thrives in any of the attacking positions LW,ST,RW,CF, most players cannot do that and are only good in one or two positions . Imagine Messi if his dribbling wasn’t as good but he was way more athletically built , that’s Gareth bale .
