Come on guys, he's leterally the only established world class player we have any chance of signing (due to his history with us)... this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

DL should seriously consider this.

If a team is built on ageing players whose best years are behind them and are on unaffordable wages, then Harry Redknapp will be in charge. That's no longer Spurs.

Why do you think we "have a chance" and what exactly is it you think Levy should be considering?

To try to sign Bale in case he does want to leave Madrid (which I seriously doubt to be honest).

Come on, getting one player at the end of his 20s isn't exactly "building a team on ageing players", is it?

Bale is on 600k a week pre tax at the biggest club in the world and signed a new contract 12 months ago until 2022. I see no reason why he would want to leave and come to us. Even if Madrid wanted to sell what kind of price do you think they would want?

Be 29 at the end of the season, just don't think it would be the right move for us.

Added to the fact he basically abandoned us, do we really want someone like that back in the club, not for me, we need people who believe they can achieve their dreams at Tottenham. Bale is not such a person.

Your first comment makes sense, however your second point is IMO nonsense, he didn't abandon us, he left what was basically a pretty average team to further his dream of winning some glory and some silverware. He was ambitious for success, as any young talented person should be, and could see he wouldn't get much of it with us. If he was the Bale of that time, but playing in the current squad, his decision might have been harder, but then? it was a no brainer. History has proven him correct, and besides, we got a very decent price for him too.

I can’t tell what’s worse. Those that think this is going to happen or the idea that we’d spend 60m on him

History has proven Kyle Walker correct too. No doubt it will prove Danny Rose correct. And Harry Kane eventually. We’re not really nearer winning anything now than when Bale was here. We have a better team, sure, but that means nothing. Glenn Hoddle and Ossie Ardiles never won the league either. Bale got to a champions league quarter final at Spurs too.

For all the ‘no brainer’, he chose his own self interest over the club. He refused to play and chucked his toys out the pram to get his move.
That’s fine, what players do, but he is a terrible example to players now.

Once it was ‘get yourself to peak physical condition and you can achieve anything - and your club can win the jackpot too’; now it’s ‘achieve your dreams elsewhere then go back to your old club, make them pay most of the money back they made from you and get paid more than everyone else when you’re too washed up to win but expect to get regular football antway’.

Dunno doesn’t have the same ring to me

You mean other than the world class players we already have? Kane, Eriksen, Lloris, Alderwiereld, Vertonghen...

So he's on 2.4 million a month? close to 30 million a year? For someone they now want to sell, but have effectively made unsellable? I seriously doubt that!

There is more to this story than simply his present weekly wage, which I doubt very much has ever truly and honestly been disclosed.
