August 1, 201312 yr Thinking about it logicly, all the reasons that were given a month ago as to why Bale would stay another year havn't changed.

August 1, 201312 yr Thinking about it logicly, all the reasons that were given a month ago as to why Bale would stay another year havn't changed. Agreed. But what has changed is how much Real are willing to pay. Most thought around the £50m bracket, but at the new £80+ bracket, that is an awful lot of improvement you can do to a team.

I'm talking about Bales situation as apparently his stance has changed, not Spurs.

August 1, 201312 yr Just a few thoughts.... 1. I hope Bale stays....as the team is improving by the week now....one more season and I think CL will be a done deal come May. 2. If he leaves he must be replaced of course....but to my mind I would rather see a striker replace him....Adebayor and Defoe are like truant kids most of our season...two up front for me please. 3. On the subject of taking players from Madrid....I think it highly unlikely....but if we do then the young striker is the one to grab. 4. Suarez....or any other UK based overpriced primadonna....nope. 5. Yeah maybe negotiations are ongoing....hopefully with a view to a deal next summer....THEN...£85m on its own...CL in the bag....he will be given a huge send off from the Spurs fans. Well...we can hope.

August 3, 201312 yr Our favourite manager for stirring the sheet, Jose, has said (an actually quote too!) that he tried to sign Bale last year.
August 4, 201312 yr If we suppose Bale is on his way, who do you want as a replacement? Serious replies please! :-) We've already bought him a month ago from FC Twente. Belgian international Nacer Chadli, can play on either wing or down the middle and can score with both feet. Has similarities to Bale, he even does the heart symbol when he scores! Have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNNrkpVHaaM

Have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNNrkpVHaaM That is a pleasant thought sots....but I reckon AVB wanted him so that Bale doesn't have to be played on the left....leaving him clear to terrorise defences in a free role. The others we have tried there lacked the ability to stretch the defence so Chadli will do this for us. Did I mention Bale is going nowhere? Yes? Good...carry on chaps!
August 4, 201312 yr Obviously if the outcome was that we have both Bale and Chadli in the team this season, even better Smokes. For me, i have to say Bale's departure is inevitable, just like our very own Les Ferdinand was quoted as saying only yesterday.

He'll be looking to have them interchanging throughout the match. We have Chadli and Townsend, both genuine two footed players, both fast too. We have the perfect set up now for a 433 formation and with Soldado we have a striker that poaches inside the box which was very much a weakness of ours. We just need another center back and be sensible easing Kaboul and Sandro back in and were good to go.
August 4, 201312 yr Yep it was good to see Townsend come on yesterday and impress....he will be playing his part this season I am sure. @sots...Les Ferdinand is a plonker I'm afraid.

August 4, 201312 yr Yep it was good to see Townsend come on yesterday and impress....he will be playing his part this season I am sure. @sots...Les Ferdinand is a plonker I'm afraid. My assumption is based on the fact that he's at the training ground on a day to day basis, therefore he should know what's going on. He's more in the know on what Bale is thinking than most outsiders. That's why, if he said it's inevitable, it's just a matter of time now.

August 4, 201312 yr Selling Bale and reinvesting will make you such a stronger side. I'm surprised only Carmine can see this. From a league threat point of view, I hope you keep Bale.

We've already bought: Paulinho, Saldado and Chadli, costing £50M And Bale hasn't even been sold yet! If and when that happens, i'm sure a few more will come in before the window closes. That goes without saying! Plus, we,ve only got 3 centre backs in the current sqaud who aren't 100% fit, so they are a priority right now.

Putting aside the Bale issue, we buy a centre half and a left back, ok,we then decide to sell Bale for 85m and then spend 35m on his replacement which obviously would be a downgrade, so who do we replace to make the side stronger ?

More to the point who do you buy with the Bale cash to replace him? You don't is the answer....the shape would have to change....I would add another striker...but who would that be without spending £50m? Better to keep Bale now I think.

The other issue is lack of CL...its not a major obstacle if you pay huge wages but who wants that? And likely needing two players in his stead....an attacking midfielder and another striker to replace his goals.
August 4, 201312 yr If we'd take a base of £85m minimum, you could buy something like Suarez and Fellaini to join Soldado in attacking threat. Also, if money plus players was on the cards you can add Di Maria and Coentrao.

In any case it would cost most of the £85m to buy them and double the wages. Nonsense.
