rijit Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It's a pity he can't look ten years into the future for the next time Levvy opens his wallet I've already demanded Leighton Baines and I don't want the grey haired version thanks. nah smokey he's got man drippy written all over him, too old and 2 much money, right up their street I thought we could double our money next summer. even better for them then, far far 2 old and far far to much money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancnx Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Been off line, not sure about the misinformation above from certain 'guests' to our thread. Seems Soldado is almost there http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2013/07/28/4148926/-? It says personal terms agreed and now just fine detail over payments schedule. So good news at last. Another report suggests Levy in London (instead of Florida holiday) to put pen to paper with Gareth. Fingers crossed. Then we can get training ready for Palace on 18th.

carmine Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The Independent reporting Madrid are offering us100meuros+ Angel Di Maria and Fabio Coentrao Why on earth would they want to do that? Gareth's a world class player but thats a ridiculous offer! Am i missing something? Do they thing they are buying his stud rights or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfieconn Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 If its good enough for Madrid..... Whats makes me laugh smokes is that no one actually knows how much RM have offered if at all ! 86m, 100m, thirty bob I'm just waiting for Mystic jack and his crystal ball to make an appearence Well going back through the posts, it would appear that my crystal ball is a lot more accurate than your knowledge and foresight. And by the way, my crystal ball tells me that Gareth is on his way.

Gareth's a world class player but thats a ridiculous offer! Am i missing something? Do they thing they are buying his stud rights or something? I think it's 100 Million inclusive, but I may be wrong. "There are suggestions that Madrid already made an offer last week for the player, at a value of €100m (£86.3m), although that is thought to include the transfer of Angel di Maria and Fabio Coentrao in the deal". "There is skepticism in Spain as to whether Madrid could pay €100m in cash, certainly not without selling players first" SUNDAY 28 JULY 2013 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/spurs-gareth-bale-camp-hardens-stance-in-fight-to-force-madrid-move-8735693.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Soldado is a good bit of business if this is true.However, it is part of a Daily Mail article. "Spurs were offered the 28-year-old for £15m in January but overlooked a player who went on to score 24 goals in La Liga. PUBLISHED: 22:01 GMT, 28 July 2013 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2380429/Gareth-Bale-talks-reach-crisis-point-Daniel-Levy-flies-home-stop-85million-Real-Madrid-move.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjj Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 "The suggestion is that Madrid president Florentino Perez is keen to meet Levy in Florida and do the deal for Bale there."

Based on virtually every news publications begging to differ AND bookies offering odds on that he will go, I am saying Bale will go during this transfer window. I dont need a crystal ball for that..... its just common sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Looks like Fabio Coentrao might not be around much longer to be part of Real's (supposed) bid for Bale anyway. I guess Real were banking on Spurs wanting a class left back, who has won 54 caps for Portugal.

Smokie reckons Spurs priority is a good left back and Coentrao certainly has the credentials. Di Maria can be an exciting player, but if I recall jellydog correctly, I think he said Di Mario dives with a 3.9 degree of difficulty.....often! That's the acquisition of two excellent players and 51 Million left to buy two or maybe even three more.

Honestly this Bale business is a nonsense. I really think that people should remember that Spurs sell when its good for us not when the player (even if theres any actual truth in it) decides he wants to go.

Berbatov went when we decided as did Modric. when we are ready to sell the matter will be taken further. Admittedly there does seem to be a lot of conjecture, but its not often that there is smoke without fire. I think the big difference between Bale and Modric/Berbatov is that it seems Bale has handled things in a professional manner and has NOT been actively seeking a move away such as Modric and Berbatov. However, again according to reports in several papers, it appears as though Bale and Levy had a 'gentlemans agreement' that should RM come in for him, then he would be informed and allowed to talk to them. IF that was the case and IF RM have made a bid, then I can understand Bale being p!ssed off with Levy. As I say this is all conjecture, but if Levy had this agreement in place and RM have made a bid of anything over 80 million, then surely it is everybodys interest that Bale is allowed to go?

I'm also saying he'll go when the deal is right for us as we have done in the past with Madrid. I really hope he goes asap if theres truth though in what they are supposed to be offering because its great for Spurs. I've always said he'll go to Madrid BUT when its right for us and Madrid will be fleeced good and proper. Edited July 29, 2013 by carmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berbatov went when we decided as did Modric. when we are ready to sell the matter will be taken further. I understand what you are saying about Berbatov and Modric, but this lad is in a different category IMO. He is, at the moment probably in the top 3 of the world. IF a world record bid comes in for him and IF he desperately wants to go to RM, then it would be grossly unfair to prevent him achieving, what might be his once in a lifetime dream. No-one knows the future, he might get better at WHL or he might go off the boil or get injured, then the dream fades. Or RM might sign someone else and drop their interest. Spurs should do the right thing by him, they bought for 7 have a clause with Southampton for about 2 (I think), they make a fantastic profit, buy class players and achieve CL status, Bale goes on to achieve his dream, everyone wins. At a world record offer Levy should sell the lad. Edited July 29, 2013 by uptheos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that with a chairman like Levy, who has form for snatching a loss from the jaws of victory, that you boys would at least wait until you actually see him wearing the shirt! Even if they have agreed the fee, Daniel wants to pay it off at a couple of quid a month for the next millenium, UNLESS he gets the money from the Bale sale first and even then its not a foregone conclusion.
