Yes, we do. AVB said publically that Bale would be expected at training on Tuesday.
That was Sunday lot of time since then

I hope Spurs order the arrogant prick down to Tottenham or he'll spend the next season sat at home.

Why the f*** do the club need to make it public? If Madrid (and GB) have been told the conditions then that is sufficient. Why let every other club in the world know what is going on. The secrecy has allowed our deals to go through with an ambiguity as to how much cash we've got or are likely to have. Nobody can bitch slap Levy if he maintains that he's not selling.
I think he has played this well. The only thing he could not take accvount of is GB's reaction. Like me, he probably hoped for better. At presetnGB looks like he could have a worse attitude that the Rat Boy who was at least honest.
IF and its a big IF Bale has refused to train then I have lost alot of respect for him. I understand he wants his big Madrid move, but I thought better of him that he would have an ounce of common sense.
If I owned a shop and was selling a TV for £400, but customers kept offering me £300 paid in four installments, I would not sell. Its the same situation here. If Bale should have a grievance, it should be with Madrid for not valuing him as highly as we do.
Ridiculous stuff.
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.
Oddly, Neville was talking about the Rooney transfer and saying that Manyoo need to hold firm and stick to the fact that they have said he is not for sale to prove that they stand by their word. Unfortunately, we have buckled every time in the past (OK, we held onto Modric for one more season...) and so everyone (Bale included) expects the same to happen here.
I just hope that Levy and AVB have been straight with him all along and can come out of this able to say we were 100% fair and honest. If there was a shady, back room agreement that we would sell him and now we are dicking him about, that is another matter.
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
The clearest sign yet that he is staying is in today's Telegraph.
A photo showing GB driving a car with a 12 month tax disc, surely if he was leaving he would have opted for only 6 months?
here's an idea
why dont we wait till we know exactly what's going on before ejaculating prematurely
Verbal agreements mean nothing. If he was relying on a verbal agreement then he has a poor agent.
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.....
