The reason acomparison in stats between Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott popped up on Sky Sports News yesterday was the statement from Arsene Wenger that there was a chance once that Arsenal could have signed both but they got Theo and he's happy about that.
The difference in assists is startling - though with all the Ronaldo comparisions with Bale it's interesting to note that as Ronaldo developed at Man United, his assist rate dropped significantly. We know who you would rather have standing over a free-kick.
