Gareth Bale (Rumour to Deal Done)

[AUSpur]

And yet with all that added talent, in 45 minutes against Espanyol we managed a single goal from a penalty and hardly any shots on goal.

I'll leave the 2nd half out of it due to all the changes.

This is the most confusing window I can remember since, well, ever. We seem to be linked with a vast quantity of players when really we would have thought we needed 2 - 3 quality forward players and possibly a defender.
Instead we've purchased 2 CM's who appear to be more defensive than officensive and appear to be tracking every one else that's ever played football lol.

First game where most of the squad has played together. There were plenty of times where you could see that a little more familiarity with one another would have resulted in scoring opportunities.

Evaluated against past goings on at Spurs where, generally, the player goes.

Eventually yes. But not always immediately.

...but not until we get the price we want. Which is hardly looking likely given Perez is now bitching about it.

can you imagine if bale has an account on here? it would be hilarious.

if i played for spurs, i sure would.......

 

[jondy1]

just wondering why bale hasn't gone back to spurs yet, isn't that the norm if they are not playing?

I don't think I would, too much gets said in the heat of the moment and confidence plays a massive part as a player. You'd be inviting all manner of crap on yourself.

It is the norm, but perhaps they want him around for morale.

Yeah I'm not worried yet. Just sayin is maybe early to suggest we can carry on as a team but a one man team.

Well we had a goal ruled out for a debatable offside decision from our new Lampardinho.

I disagree that we didn't need a CM - we were woefully short last year with Sandro out and now with Parker going, bringing in two good players (Paulinho is box-to-box, not a DM) can only benefit the squad.

We've bought a £26m striker and a £7m wide forward (which was required), we also have Townsend back from loan who could be like a new signing. We had Vlad all sorted but the Romanian club's president called it off from his jail cell - difficult one.

I completely agree it's been a fantastic transfer window we have definitely improved our squad and I so hope we keep Townsend I've got big hopes for him imo I think he is far better than Lennon

He's probably one of the itk's saying that he's leaving.

[Dani_G]

Is he reliable? Has he called anything right in the past?

 

[MaccSpurs]

Do you really think he has stayed silent cos he doesn't want to hurt our feelings?

Bale couldn't give two hoots about your, mine or anyone else's feelings.

He is staying quiet, be it good or bad, because it is the right think to do. Remember Berbatov and Modric?
