      Bale, hopefully will improve under the guidance of Harry, he is still only young and has loads of potential, which hopefully one day he will show.

      Bale is no doubt the more talented player but I agree with some of the thoughts on here that he's more suited to the wing. Fergie wanted him as a future replacement for Giggs didn't he? Because of that, I'm happy for BAE to get the games at left-back and have Harry develop Bale as he sees it. There's no doubt Harry can develop young talent!

      I thought BAE had a very good game last night. Put in some brilliant crosses unfortunately to no result. Ran and ran giving 100%. I could change my mind if he improves as he is at present.
      Certainly playing for a permanent place.

      I tend to agree I think hes our best option at present at LB it will be interesting to see wether harry sticks with a left sided player at LM. I thought O'Hara has been certainly doing enough to retain his position in starting 11, which leaves Bale as an able replacement/sub at LB or LM. of the three for mine Bale has the most potential, but o'hara is showing greater consistency and BAE is probably a more reliable defender atm

      A bit O/T but I'd like to see us make a bid for Cattermole. He is not a world beater but he sure as hell likes a tackle - something you cant say about our current crop of midfielders. I think he would make a good addition to the squad and would add a bit of grit.

      I would go for Craig Garnder over Cattermole, for the under 21s he did very well with Huddlestone and O'hara and he is good at tackling, passing and also scored in thats game from a free kick. Cattermole appears to be a key player at Wigan where as Gardner has made only three appearences for Villa in the league and so should be more available. I still like cattermole, he tries hard but for me Gardner could be a great player for us.

      Dont get me wrong BAE has improved GREATLY but i think Bale is a better long term player who i think we should adapt to LB. It gives us great attacking width down the left with either Lennon or O hara playing at LM. I am always concerned when i see BAE in the starting line up and when he is on the ball but TBH, he has done pretty good recently despite my feelings.

      It's astonishing to me that this thread was ever started. (even given the fact it was started during a rough patch for Bale, even on a bad day he's superior to BAE)

      Bale is struggling right now. Thats clear for everyone to see. BAE has to take the position of LB until Bale gets back into his groove. Can I just drop another point into the subject......Has anyone else noticed how much Bale dives?! Whats he up to?

      people seem to be talking here that bale is being played out of postion at lb but anytime i have seen him play for wales or when he was with cardiff he was always a lb and im sure when manure were looking at him it was for lb as well he has been abit below par lateily but i think he made a difference when he came on against watford and i think harry has left him out for long enough any longer and it will really knock him i dont rate bae at all hes a liaibilty if im honest so either play bale there or sign someone else
