Would you say, "He bears close resemblance to .." or " He bears a close resemblance to.."?
@Xanina,
Either way is acceptable.
As you're asking what i would say, i would say " . . . bears a close resemblance . . . "--the other sounds awkward to me.

Yes. Something bears
a resemblance to something else.
@contrex,
Not the same collocation, Contrex.
@Setanta,
I'm pretty sure that the OP was using the plural you. What good is advice from a you that doesn't know.
Ragman is right.
