The comments by Gareth Bale's agent: "I haven't heard them... Gareth is a very good player and we all want to play with him. This is a team and we have to all pull together".

His position: "I feel very comfortable, I'm not concerned about having to hug the touchline on occasion. I've worked hard, but I've done the same things as I always have, nothing special".
