Maybe first refusal would suffice? :eek:
God yeah!
Can't get too excited about this one though tbh, not doubting breezers info, but I just can see how we could even come close to making the numbers work, considering we're haggling over a couple of mill for Pau...

I think that only applied for the first contract he signed with Real Madrid. He has since signed a new contract.

Surely that would be in our contract of sale, between us and Real Madrid. Bale and his contract with his employer wouldn't effect that..?

I remember Breezer has called a few transfers before anyone else so this info is exciting for sure. When Dempsey left Breezer called it and also the details of to where and how much, (there was no paper talk about him leaving at the time) so his info is to be taken seriously

As annoying as the ITK is, I still believe in the long term vision of the club and I do truly believe Poch wants to build something in terms of Alex Ferguson. I mean what's more of a legacy? Building a club to become a perennial challenger/possible champion or jumping ship and managing Real? Maybe it is just me, but I would rather make a name for myself verse taking over a club that has a history, but basically gives you a 90% chance of getting into the final four of the CL.

Bale next yr is sponsored by Nike. Let's focus we win the league this yr. Walker stays is as good as a signing. Striker dept... i leave it to Jensen to prove himself.

I am also fine to keep Sissoko but he needs to sort out where he can play, else he should leave but it's all down to wages. Wimmer could lave until we get a replacement.

If we don't show any ambition this yr.... Bale will not return. Wake up!

I've been told Barkley is all agreed, personal terms and fee with Everton. However his head has been turned by all the new signings at Everton and being an Everton lad he is still in 2 minds whether to stay or go.

Don't be shocked to see Bale back at Spurs next season, lets just say the ball is in our court and if Levy wanted to make a statement this would be the deal to show intent.

Southampton have offered £21M for Wimmer.

Janssen has been asked by the club to stay but is becoming frustrated as he knows the club are still actively looking for another striker/attacker.

City may still be interested in Walker but no interest has been shown since Pep watched Walker play for England. Walker hasn't asked to leave but has asked Levy for more money. Surprisingly Levy has agreed but Poch has said NO WAY! He's starting to see Walker as a bad apple and doesn't want him paid anymore than he's currently earning.

Lastly when Poch signed his last contract Levy put a £40m buyout clause. He has a gentleman's agreement with Levy if Madird come calling once his contract has expired he will be off, if not he'll sign another contract with Spurs.

This is my happy place

They want Mbappe and have said they would move Bale to fit him in the lineup.
But have you (or indeed anyone else for that matter) got direct quotes from the upper hierarchy at Madrid suggesting they will sell Bale in order to make way for another player, be that Mbappe or whoever?

Real Madrid selling one of their most prized assets makes as much sense to me as us ever standing a chance to secure his services once again - and all the permutations that come with it!

Agree, he definitely has good sources at the club. Doesn't mean Levy is going to sanction a deal for one of the worlds best players when our top earner is on 3 times less than Bale and all the worlds top clubs would also be trying to sign him.

have said it before that breezer gets very good info and is typically spot on.

if bale came back i think i'd just combust but no way on earth would levy cough up the money. it would fit in with the superstar signing we all crave though and would (if he stayed fit) very likely win us the prem next season.

When and if Bale comes back I would liken it to the Rooney situation now....he'll be about 33 years of age and approaching the late autumn of his career. He will tell the world how much he has always loved the club and has decided to end his days where his fairy tale story began. He will have two moderately successful seasons in which we will see occasional flashes of the brilliance that so delighted us some years ago and then he will disappear onto the coaching staff with the odd ambassadorial role for marketing purposes. He certainly will not be returning any time soon in my opinion.....

ali z: On Bale have said this before if we can do financials we would always be his first choice.

edmonton (on poch/levy relationship i presume):In Levy's view is the relationship is excellent.

Just trying to be realistic my friend.....Bale returning at this stage of his career would be a move of metamorphic proportions and defying all logic....but you never know I suppose.

Oh, right. It would be the first time the world of football defy logic, wouldn't it. :D

You don't think bale would have been watching us last season thinking if you'd added me to the lineup we would have won the league.so ignoring wages i can see why he would be tempted if he thought he could win trophies with us.
