Has Bale not met Levy before?
He isn't the kind of guy who responds well to this kind of thing if true

The only thing I would say is. We don't know what was promised to him if anything. Maybe he feels we've breached a verbal agreement.
Bottom line is we know next to nothing. So castigating the player is probably a bit premature

But that is their job isn't it? Sensationalist Sports News with the added pressure of being a rolling 24hr channel with time to fill.
People can't criticise Sky Sports News, it is what it is, it isn't CNBC or CNN or BBC Parliament.
They have had news leaked to them about the biggest transfer in history and the number one story of the transfer window and people are surprised and disgusted that they are going over the top. WTF?
He gets paid to train & play for Spurs, everything else is irrelevant.
So Bale flew back to england to strike from home rather than from spain???
I completely blame the club for this. Once again we have failed to make public announcements of intent and dragged our heels.
Suarez, not for sale, get on with it.
Rooney, not for sale, get.on with it.
Bale, ERM, you can leave, but we will wait until we get a proper offer, and we probably won't, so then you have to stay, but we might change our mind again....
Been here before.
Set the stall out. Real, you have 3 days to come up with the goods or the transfer is off and we are happy to keep the player. This all says to me that the ITk on no deal is in place, is correct. Because if he knew he was going in one week or two, he wouldn't be a prick.
Mind you....I've bunked off when working my notice.....

But the point is we don't know that he hasn't been told to stay away
Bale and his team have spent half the summer attempting to engineer this move.
I have zero empathy for him, and zero interest in him retaining employment with the club.
There comes a point when enough is enough; he's ambitious, sure, but he's no different to Berbatov or Modric insofar as they all thought they could throw their weight about and get what they want.
And ultimately, they will, but not without their prospective employers paying full whack, as and when we want it.
So, great player though he is, he can fuck the fuck off to Spain and go live the dream.
We have signed 4 quality players and will sign more and are stronger now with them than we were with him and without them last year.
Chadli> Dempsey
Paulinho> Thudd
Capoue> Parker
Soldado> Defoe/Ade
Bale > Townsend (only just)

"Only just"
