whats that ?
Has anyone seen the Ali Z ITK on the bale thread??
I am sorry but Suarez is the lst person I want to see in a Tottenham shirt. A very good footballer but a despicable human being. A racist and immature man.I really hope we don't sell Bale this late on - if we do would have to think we'd go chasing after Hulk...and maybe a cheeky bid for Suarez?
Agreed. And so I guess RM will come tapping him up in a couple of years then if we buy him.Lamela would be our #1 priority if Bale went, given that Baldini brought him to Roma. He's an absolute superstar in the making. 21 years old and a top player in Serie A already. He has all the attributes to reach the same heights Bale has with us..
This probably wont be a popular view, but IF Bale does leave then I would prefer us to try and get two or three players in exchange instead of the cash. I mean, what are we going to do with it all? We will still have the same old problem now that we haven't got CL football and will find it impossible to attract anyone around Bale's level (you may ask how we could get these Real Madrid players then, but these would be guys you imagine like Coentrao etc who want to leave, aren't getting a lot of football and Real can push them out of the club somewhat). Plus every other club would rip us off big time knowing the moMney we had to spend.
I don't really see any benefit to having all that money, unless it went towards the stadium or allowed us to speculate a bit more on some of the 'wonderkids' that we may have a chance of signing.
It's just simple common sense but it will take an "ITK" to say it before people realise.Has anyone seen the Ali Z ITK on the bale thread??
Ali Z on Bale: OK this is not a a done deal. Far from it.
Madrid have made no offer.I repeat no offer.
Just cheap tactics to rattle us and Bale and they will not offer a world record fee. Time to hold our nerve

After we sold Carrick, we invested and progressed after a wee bit of trouble; after Berbatov left we invested and progressed, and when Modric left many thought we would suffer, we invested and progressed. If Bale goes we will invest and progress. No one is bigger than the club, it would be different if Bale was born and breed Spurs, but he wasn’t, we helped him become the player he is now, but he isn’t emotionally attached to Spurs like you and I. If he leaves its on our terms.
Only Carrick has improved slightly after leaving us, and it isn’t always better at the big clubs. We wouldn’t be the club we are today without selling these players, and selling Bale if it happens, well… it will sad for a while, but the club moves on.
To sell Bale now would be madness, even for the sums being quoted.
The first reason for this is that the clubs of any potential replacement players will ask for vast somes having seen us just receive a potential record breaking amount.
Levy easily knows this.
Second reason is that Bale could be worth more to us than Madrid are offering if he stays.
Accounting for potential CL football, attracting better players (as proved with Paulinho supposedly), leading to a better chance of sustained CL football, not to mention wages spent on replacements and sponserships/the global brand of Tottenham Hotspur.
Third reason (and most important reason) is that you don't just replace Bale. Levy and to a greater extent AVB will no that to sell bale will change the dynamics of the team. The type of change that will need a whole summer to way up new systems, tinker with both current and new players, defining a new channel of play.
That said, to sell Bale now would be of great detriment to the teams early season progress. More so than keeping a potentially unhappy bale. I believe that once he gets a ball at his feet and the crowed behind him he will give us 100% this season.
Sell at the start of next season early, and then implement the change, transition and evelution as required.
