[BergSpurs]

Quite amusingly, here's last years Marca story:



Well I never. Utter fucks.

Thx

We can definitely get them done for defamation. Making up quotes saying Levy broke a supposed 'promise' to Gareth. It (in Marca's and Madrid's minds) damages Levy's reputation, as well as Bale's in the sense that he is NOT that sort of player. He is a level headed guy, who if he wanted to move will have a word in private and not have a public outburst. Absolutely pathetic excuse of a paper. I know we have some bad media over here, but they are on a complete other level it's unreal.

'according to Spanish paper Marca'

Marca are the origin of it, so The Sun will feel that as someone else came up with the 'quotes' they'd get away with it.

The amount of idiots buying it in the comments section is funny. So many opposition fans getting excited, fucking morons.

Don't disagree

Just comes to something when a paper has to copy a load of recycled bs from a shitty rag like marca to get attention.

Essentially you can copy another paper's piece, as long as it's re-typed in your own words. It's stupid, I know, but that's the way the journo world works.

If PoTL says talks are positive over a new contract (as he has today) then you can believe that. That's right from the top table. Ignore Marca.

 

[spurs-r-us]

Fucking Marca.

Scum.

Been absolutely convinced he'd sign a new contract, but now just a little but nervous.

Still very much confident he will stay, however the nerves do exist.

Because of Bale; Tottenham, Under Armour and HP have all got unbelievable exposure in Times Square and therfore photos all over the internet.

The commerical implications are massive. Far greater than someone like Modric who is not marketable in the slightest. Also lets not forget that if Bale goes to Real, as good as he is, he won't be the face of La Liga and in terms of image rights, that's quite a big thing to lose.

Sound point that - is there anyone who can draw some sort of comparison between Bale's non-football earning potential playing for RM as opposed to Spurs?

 

[dbspurs]

I think Levy and/or Bale have got to speak out and put this crap to bed. It's becoming a joke.

Do you have the link to the original Modric article?

 

[Garethspur]

I've contacted the journalist directly and asked for an explanation.

I'm a reporter, and that is not how I work. But it is what passes for a lot of (particularly football) sports journalism

This post has been copied and is now being tweeted and retweeted by several morons as 'proof' that Marca have just recycled an old story...

So is that not the case?

A reporter you say? Don't they teach "fact-checking" anymore?

Sorry, you've confused me. I pointed out that the quotes in both stories are identical. Where's the issue with that?

What is your source for Marca's 'original' Modric story from last year? Do you have a copy of the actual paper from last summer with this story in it? Have you located the article on the Marca website?

Or are you just relying on Scutch's post?

Soooooo.........can you answer Gareth's question? You appeared to be quite animated about people retweeting Scutch's post. Is it NOT the case that Marca have merely rehashed last summer's Modric article?
