Ignore the god awful voice over, just put subtitles on.
Just shows how far he really has come, even made me slightly sad.

We'll never know if Champions League football would have persuaded him to give us another season.

If we keep him, he could be the 'difference' in every game we play next season.

We've got a team who can compete with anyone.

We don't HAVE to sell him.

He's irreplaceable


He's far from irreplaceable.. Pastore, Bernard, Martinez and a CB.. I'd rather that then Bale staying tbh..
Even if he was to stay, the next window would be the same and the window after that etc..let him go and spend the ridiculous amount of money they are offering and build a formidable team.. The future is very bright my friends..

He's not replaceable.

He can make the difference in every game. The third best player in the world.

We already have a great team if we keep him. It's a championship quality side.

These type of players decide who wins the league....

Cantona, Henry, Robben, Van Persie....etc

Looking at an article in another post it asked who we would replace him with.
Suggestions were Bernard, Willian, or Lamela.

The reality is we could buy all 3 for the money being offered. Selling the players these would replace could get us Coentrao and a new CB. I hate to say it but selling Bale could get us the squad rather than just the starting eleven to compete for the title.

As long as the money is re-invested wisely, and I believe AVB would, we are in a win-win situation.

One man does not a team make..
4 players in his place could make the team far more balanced. We have won zilch whilst Bale was at his very best.

really torn about this.... on one side, bale can rip defences apart wile creating and scoring goals, yet on the other side we will sell for a WORLD RECORD fee that we can spend on three good quality players to create a bloody good side that hopefully will push arsenal out of the top four.....

Are we going to play with ten men then?

Greaves, Hoddle, Blanchflower etc were all irreplaceable, but somehow we carried on as a club. No one is bigger than Spurs!

We've just signed Paulinho, Chadli and Soldado.

We also have Kaboul coming back to play with Verts.

It's a very competitive 1st team.

We don't need to sell him.

If we do and invest the money extremely WISELY then maybe it will soften the blow.

But you want to build around players like Berbatov, Modric and Bale. Not sell them on...

Carried on?

What are you talking about! Of course we carry on. The world is not going to explode.

But we will have lost the third best player in the world and that's never a good thing.

We've signed quality players this window. We wouldn't be a one man team this year.

Ask Man Utd fans how much difference Van Persie made last year.

One man can make a huge difference.

Messi does it, week in, week out.

We didn't get anywhere last year because we sold Modric and VDV and didn't have any good strikers.

Now we've got Soldado, Bale has someone to finish off the chances he makes.

What I can't get my head round is, Real Madrid are £590m in debt, I still can't see how they can bid anything let alone £100m..
