Andre Villas-Boas on whether Gareth Bale should be player of the year...I think so. It would be truly deserved, but it is not up to me to make that consideration. But you have to recognise that he is having a tremendous season. So he is probably a contender, he is for us, hopefully he can get there.

Gareth Bale - Typical half a season syndrome like Valencia last year. RVP and Suarez have been far better. People exaggerating #Crazyby Jordan_Gartland via twitter 2/26/2013 6:12:50 PM -
