Gareth Bale, Premier Leagues greatest ever homegrown player

Apparently.

We are 15th in the table with Jay, the best player we have produced to play in the prem albeit not with us.

Gareth Bale is Welsh, so not homegrown for the English Premier League..

Really?

There was me thinking that Wales was just outside Cirencester.

Someone's on a wind up with that one...

Cambells probably right. Maybe Kane.

As for City I thought there must be better than Ireland.

I did find it amusing Fabregas was excluded because a fee was paid for him :lol:

At his best I would go with Bale as he is almost unstoppable and very exciting to watch. However, there are players who have done it far more consistently for a long period of time. Giggs, scholes, Gerrard, Lampard and Shearer all better for me because of that

Scholes is head and shoulders above any other EPL player any team as ever produced. In my humble opinion that is. Dictated the tempo of games, scored goals, great vision and very rarely lost the ball best player I have seen and I've seen some gudns
