Should probably close this thread.
Drexl is about to do himself some harm.

I'm surprised about the bitterness to be honest. He worked his socks off for Spurs and we were playing our best football in 20 odd years. We got a world record fee which hopefully some goes towards our new stadium. Bale always said he wanted to play abroad, even before he joined Spurs. He never claimed to be a Spurs fan but always put in a shift for us. We've managed to buy 5-6 players on his fee alone. Hopefully we can go onto be a better team without him, we relied on him way too much last season
Its not the fact he has gone it is how he went about it
Faking injury, refusing to attend training, effectively going on strike to force a move, first one is not proven 100% but Levy's words about his behaviour were very telling
If he had been professional like Rooney or Suarez i would have wished him well but he behaved like a spoilt child who's mum would not buy him an ice cream
Great achievements on the pitch but elevated to the 2nd biggest **** after Campbell off it imho along with Berbatov
It's like checking your ex's facebook page. DON'T DO IT EVER. Okay, maybe the one time on a boring Friday night, possibly a Saturday.
It's nice to check an ex's FB and see that she's now going through a horrible soul-destroying separation with the guy she left you for...
Although actually I harbour no such malice. I just wanted to post on page 666 of the Gareth Bale thread. Number of the beast and all that. Actually that would be more appropriate for Sandro, come to think of it.

This might be an unpopular opinion, and I love watching Bale play but seeing as he is going to go next year regardless of what happens why don't we sell him to the highest bidder when his stock is at its highest? We could actually rebuild the team with the money we get.
inlyI had this exact pleasure JUST the other day, unrivalled...
That's messed up man. Hope he's back on his feet!inly
It certainly beats the experience of a friend of mine. He made the mistake of marrying a lawyer in a fit of ill-thought out or imagined love...a few months later (literally) the divorce duly came, along with 90% of everything he ever earned or will earn going to her. Saw her FB a while back, showing off her new high-floor apartment in Manhattan, paid for by her liquidation of the company my mate worked so hard to get up and successful, which went to her in the settlement.
So we can count ourselves lucky. Oh good luck Bale, to stay on topic.

If you got a lot of money, get a pre-nup, whether male or female.inly

So his agent made £ 5 M and his parents £ 2 M from the transfer
Fair play to them for fleecing Madrid.
This wasn't a case of parents or agent railroading the player like some wanted to believe. Bale wanted Madrid badly.
