carmine Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) When the fee was suggested around £50m, I thought Levy should keep hold of Bale. Now £80m+ is being banded about, he should take the money and buy Rooney and another £30-40m midfielder. £80m is just too high for one man when the rest of the squad is only worth half a shandy and a packet of prawn cocktail crisps. Relatively speaking. Its not enough i'm afraid and if Madrid want him badly enough they will pay 100m. They really are stupid enough. That clubs all about politics, marquee signings, a real one off anomaly in football We would be very happy to do a deal at the right price i think, but these figures just mentioned are nowhere near what we could get from Madrid and they've just banked another 34.5m from the Higuain transfer Edited July 28, 2013 by carmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why shoot when you can fiddle about on the edge of the box. Levy and his grocers shop mentality will never change. Bale is 24 and should be playing champions league.

But you still haven't explained why we should sell him cheap to Madrid? For all his "grocers mentality" why should Levy throw away 10-15m quid when that extra cash will buy most of Soldado.

Fair point. Will Madrid come up with the 100 in time for Spurs to consolidate and start the season properly? Last minute stuff will do their early season results no favours. And if they don't there is the possibility that Bale may be a bit disgruntled all season. Don't know. I'd be tempted to take the £86m and move swiftly forward.

MrRed Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I don't think 80 Million is cheap do you especially for a player that has had maybe one great season and is still to win anything of any note. He will push the button with Spurs if Madrid really go after him and the only hope you have of any more is if United get involved which i am sure Levy is waiting for to try and bump up the already inflated price tag. Also he is vulnerable to getting injured a lot isn't he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmine Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think Bales happy enough. He's off to Madrid next summer and the deal will be great for him and great for us. He's a family man, a model professional and has behaved as such throughout the media fanfare. This is one of the reasons he'll stay. He's clearly a very different character to the likes of Modric Suarez and Tevez and for that Spurs are very lucky. Real Madrid will probably get an even better player next summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what 80 Million would do to your team now...if he stays there is no grantees up or down is there. I said before for me it is all about his own personal ambition as to if he moves or not.

Whats winning a trophy got anything got to do with a players value, i always thought a team win trophies not an individual unless your talking about the PFA award and the Football Writers award which are for individuals Getting injured a lot last season he missed 5 league games, the season before he missed 2 leage games and the season before that 8 league games, a real lot that is Edited July 28, 2013 by alfieconn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfieconn Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Bale wants out. New contract not being discussed with Spurs. Levy should let the boy go to further his career now. 86 mil. He won't get more next season. What is Levy playing at? How do you know ? if he has a great season and Spurs finish in the top 4, what will he be worth then ?

mjj Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Alfie, do you really think Bales value can go up any more? I don't if £80-100m is what Madrid are willing to pay now. I'm not saying whether he will or won't reach Messi Ronaldo heights, but until he is performing regularly at important CL stages and finals, he has hit a ceiling value wise.

carmine Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Soldado's a great signing for us. He's a goal poacher, scores most of his goals inside the box. Last season we scored fewer goals inside the box than any other club bar QPR. Should be another buy this window too. Hopefully now the talk with move on to Soldado because the Bale stuff is so very dull and without any genuine substance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case you should know he's an excellent penalty taker too but be advised Spurs were not awarded a single penalty the whole of last season.
