If bale was leaving avb would stay with the squad to prepare for the game. His responsibility is with his players. If that is true it can only be a good thing. Maybe bale told avb in the airport he was accepting a new deal and avb frog marched him straight to Hotspur way before he changed his mind


Hmm possibly. If this is true it feels like "crisis talks" to me. Turning it around, why would AVB be needed if Bale was agreeing to stay.

I hope I'm wrong though!

I don't mean to wind people up, but I'm staggered by the fact so many seem to think he might stay. The only way he stays is if negotiations broke down. He wants to go- very, very badly- so people need to get used to it. The only difference between Modric and Bale is Modric went on record in the papers.


This is obviously why he got off the plane. I don't like cabin dumps either.

Why would he go to the airport if he wasn't travelling to Monaco? saying goodbye to the team maybe?

Ugh. Don't be a fucking drama queen about it Gareth. Plonk your plums on the table one way or another so the club can deal with it. Enough of this prom queen nonsense.

I'm sorry if it is a stupid question, but... IF Bale is signing a new contract...say until 2017 or 2018.. Why is everyone so happy about that when everyone is saying he is RM bound for next year?

It ensures we keep the power in negotiations. If he doesn't sign a new contract, he will have two years left come next summer and it may be our last chance to get a massive fee. If he signs a new contract it means that if no-one stumps up the cash next summer he stays.

Maybe he was told he wasn't in the squad like Sandro in first season CL :D (joking of course)

1. It means he wouldn't leave this year.
2. Madrid can't shortchange us on the fee next year like Modric because theres no way Gareth would want to run down a 3 or 4 year deal.
3. People still hoping that if we turn into legitimate title contenders, which we could with GB and RS, Madrid won't look as attractive to him next year.

Maybe we done a sandro cock up and bale actually thought he was travelling and is willing to play?

Turned up at the airport to be told your names not down your not coming in?

Then AVB maybe also thought GB was travelling and flipped his lid when his name wernt down and headed straight to hotspur way to see levy to have a go?

Or maybe bale turned up expecting to board the plane and AVB was told by somebody else he wouldn't be fit to travel?

Or maybe he did just go to say bye? And AVB didn't know about it and wants to personally say goodbye to him?

I was about to say surely they wouldn't make this up:

Bale misses Spurs' Monaco trip and edges closer to Real Madrid

Gareth Bale's agent has confirmed to AS that the Wales international has not travelled to Monaco with the Tottenham Hotspur squad.



Until I read the first line...

'Gareth Bale’s agent, Jonathan Barnes...'

football journalists are cancer
They've spelled diarrhoea wrong on that website url.

Because as a contract runs down so does ones value (usually from the 3rd of a four year contract ie beginning of third year). So if he signs it would be another four years so his value next summer will be as much if not higher than this summer.
