Gareth Bale (Rumour to Deal Done)

[yido4life]

Thanks Gareth, we have had some truly fantastic players don the spurs shirt throughout our history and you are one of them. Hope I never have to see you in another PL teams colours.

Probably a non disclosure of fee signed by Spurs if it is a record with penalties in place, but if i was Levy i would say fuck that.

Piss Ronaldo off on September the 4th by saying oh by the way Ron, Bale costs more than you

 

[Kirito]

Please don't tell me that was actually him

Makes me cringe.

As a child, I collected foreign shirts for fun, but that was either due to players (Flamengo, Romario) or purely because I liked the shirt (Real/Barca/Inter). As a player, he couldn't give a fuck about Real's dirty tactics to sign him, they're just the biggest club team in the world.

I meant kids who actually support them, one of my sons mates as a kid was and I could never understand it

Thank goodness this saga is over. Onwards and upwards for the Mighty Spurs.

 

[SlotBadger]

That would be f-ing mental

They're gonna be saying it's €40m by the time the transfer window slams shut.

I always thought that any kid with a Madrid shirt was a mug, should never be a childhood dream for a British kid

Maybe. But as a professional footballer, you want to play for the biggest clubs in the world. Whether we like them or not, Madrid ARE one of the biggest clubs in the world.

According to sources at White Hart Lane, Bale fee is €100m - new world record - don't be surprised if Spanish press report a lower figure!

So my best guess then would be around €90m base with €10m add-ons (overall more than CR7 but initial payment slightly less to keep CR7)?

I know it was inevitable but seeing conformation has hit me hard.

Tears are welling up, we witnessed one of the best 3 players in the world play at the lane last season, and he's gone.

I'm devastated, need a big signing to cheer me up.

Goodbye Gareth, and I wish I had the heart to say " I wish you well", but I can't. That would be like twisting the knife.

They can't have Madam Ronaldo getting her undercrackers all bunched up after all.

Yeah, fair enough. I generally supported the team Ronaldo was playing for, which, unfortunately, includes Real...

 

[punky]

As much as I hate RM and how they act i'm glad he went there instead of United or Chelski

 

[yankspurs]

LOL. Fee was 85mill pounds but Spanish press are going to report a lower figure to not piss off Ronaldo. Daniel really should just announce the fee and piss off Madrid.

Renamed the goldfish. Jermain defish. :-(

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Neg rep me all you want but I am genuinely excited by the prospect of
1. Bale playing in a Real madrid shirt knowing that we created him.
2.Bale and Ronaldo in the same team

Yes. Another 10m when he reaches the massive milestone of 5 league games or something naff like that.

I'm thinking we should hire one of those tiny planes with a banner on the back to fly over Ronnie's house with the correct value?

Yeah it's just stupid to go on about all this childhood shit, it makes you look stupid ie Robbie Keane being a Spurs, Liverpool, Celtic and Spurs again fan

You're just looking forward to playing as Real on Fifa 14
