ok when i say mess i mean his mental state for balancing the book for Joe!
I cant see a downside to this as it means we have brought in 4 good players so far plus we keep our gem.

#prayformess

Either the book balancing or the jizz jubilance of Spurs fans.

What do we all believe re the Jet to Madrid stuff?

Others saying deal is not done, so how can a flight be booked?

I'm praying GB stays, this could be the start of something beyond incredible.


Agent could have booked the flight for himself. It's interesting but not major.

We know Bale will get over the sulking, if we truly aren't dependent on Bale's money force him to stay. If JL or Levy want to see us win the league he gives us the best shot. Sure he could buy 4-5 more quality players but you can only have 11 on the pitch and currently we have one of the top players of the world at our club.

Don't understand this logic.

People like Aliz, HertYid, AtlantaYid over on coys have said that JL was funding this year with view on cashing in next summer on Bale, so it should not be a problem for DL.


Of course it isn't a problem for DL, if it was he could easily sell him to UTD.

There's no common sense in it being a problem to DL.

The BSoDL must have erections the size of skyscrapers today. I've stepped over the bodies of a few who have passed out through loss of blood being diverted to their rampant stiffies just to post in this thread.

I'm with you on this - give it one hell of a good go this year and let Bale cry it off with an EPL title to his name.

You'll be a BSoDL if we buy Willian and Lamela and keep Bale :p. In fact I bet you'll be leading the charge, strapped to the nines with dildos for those pesky anti-Levyites :p.

I don't think Levy or the board would leverage the money they're spending on the basis that Bale may be sold to cover a substantial amount of the outlay. We've been close to agreeing transfers before only for them to collapse at the last minute, i.e. Moutinho, Levy and Co should be fully aware of the pitfalls. I think AVB is trusted by everyone at Spurs to build something special and he probably knows that he will have to deliver now. Bale may be sold but I would think that AVB has made it known to those in charge that he needs Gareth to make the step from top four to consistent title challengers.

If we wait until next summer to sell Bale won't the price go down due to the full introduction of FFP?

Bale's situation is very simple. The club made a statement that he is not for sale. I posted upon what I heard similar. RM simply have to put the money on the table, and as of today confirmation was being sought from a financial authority regardless of what others are saying. I pm'd a few on Friday with developments and it was expected to of been public knowledge of sale by now.

That has not happened and RM would love the world to believe it is the club being difficult when actually it is not. From the staff's position they rather him go and move on. The spend was not and is not dependent on Bale either staying or going. If he stays they still want to pursue Lamela. For those who want to question the validity of this all I can say is you can take it with a ton of salt or appreciate that this has not just been shared in good faith but from as far as I am concerned highly reliable sources.



This is almost the same lines as Jason Burt also saying in Talksport.

JB said

i) Player wants to desperately leave, no question about that
ii) Player side is pushing for it
iii) But doesnt mean that deal is done. Deal is NOT done yet
iv) Spurs still want to see RM put the money on the table
v) If RM pull out, the deals are being viewed as investment
vi) Bale wont go on Aug 31. If he goes, it will be well before that

Btw he personally thinks Bale will leave...

We have sold 4 players already which should offset the fees and contracts of Capoue and Chadli. I Can't imagine we would do these deals based on an assumption that RM would stump up the money.

if Bale stays i wouldn't be too upset about not getting anyone else in. We have had a fantastic window.

Capoue > Parker
Paulinho > Huddlestone
Chadli > Demspey ??

Soldado amazing!

We are much stronger this season and could push for 3rd as things stand!

Phew got through it!!!

Anyways. Pinch of salt in one hand please and the knowledge in the other that I should have probably goated. This is because its fairly obvious whose opinion this is.

1. Andros Townsend and Jermain Defoe are available but neither want to play for QPR this season. Townsend compares himself to Sterling and believes that he can be on the plane to Rio. fair play to him for that, but he wants out.

2. The circles with which my source (;)) speaks in believe that Gareth Bale has not been sold as of today, yesterday or last week. Its also suggested that they expect Bale to NOT BE SOLD!!! Madrid have neither met our asking price nor provided any guarantees that they can make the payments anyway

3. My source also feels that we are spending the way we are because of an interest free loan from Big Joe. We pay him back once the stadium is completed and were top dogs in Europe. (ok I made the top dogs thing up) Our books will look A-OK because FFP doesnt prevent this kind of investment just yet
