The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread 27/28 July 2013 PART TWO

[NickHSpurs]

Wow, people putting money on Bale staying, if he does leave you're just doubling the pain. I realise if he stays you're also doubling the joy, but wow, braver people than me lol.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

He did it before the new Man City fully hit their stride.

Man Citeh had also hit their stride, won the PL title and yet couldn't get out of the CL group stages. I mean just how much of a comparison do you want to actually make with what Spurs achieved that season, none?

 

[gazzeh]

If we did sign soldado and damiao, we'll be sorted for a few years.

 

[Lilbaz]

Prefer to get a 20-22 year old than leandro.

Talkshite have just interviewed David Pleat- he states that no formal written bid has been received by SPURS.

Pleat talking sense as per usual. He may get laughed at for getting a couple of names wrong but he knows more about the game than a lot of people.

Thanks for posting.

I know we would have to consider a stupid offer like £100m but I wish we would just make a statement that's he's not for sale at any price.

Haven't we already done that a few times?

Nobody disputes what he says, only the way he says it.

Damiao is 22 isn't he?

 

[daveduvet]

Just got in... £150m for Bale, ha, sooo hope that's true. By this i mean too high a fee so feck off.

Also would not be surprised if RM's tactics were to say now or never and then lowball us, typical dirty tactics and IF this is true then Spurs should politely stand firm, negotiate for any of their players we do really want, string em along and then with some luck screw em on Bale by keeping him.

Then tear up any agreement and report them to FIFA. Disgusting behaviour.

Sorry if already discussed to death, just got back and felt need to vent on the Bale ITK before i sat down with a coffee and caught up on all the comments.

In relation to this from wiki:
The paper (Marca) had been involved in an ongoing dispute with Sir Alex Ferguson since the summer of 2008 when he accused MARCA of being "...a vehicle to unsettle players" on behalf of Real Madrid.

 

[hughy]

Damiao is 22 isn't he?

He was when we first tried to sign him.

 

[Stupid like a fox]

Damiao is 22 isn't he?

Maybe when we were first linked to him, I think he must be about 40 now

 

[wee_spur]

We need to sign Soldado soon. I can take the anticipation any longer! At least Benteke put us out of our misery fairly swiftly.

 

[sam1972]

Damiao is 22 isn't he?

24

 

[Gedson100]

i really hope bale doesnt go to madrid.....I can sense him becoming the next kaka over there. it'll be a waste.

Might sound harsh, but the day he leaves Tottenham, although I will look back on his career here with fondness and be thankful for the massive fee, I will give precisely zero fucks as to whether or not he becomes the new Kaka, Pele or Gary Doherty.

Exactly. I'll wish him no ill will but he'd just not be relevant to me anymore. So good luck and whatever. Moving on...

 

[dagraham]

Then it's about time we did it again. An official statement this time, not just AVB in his press conferences.

 

[Bobbins]

One of the reasons we should never sell him to another domestic club - out of sight, out of mind etc.

 

[gibbospurs]

This thread has turned to shit recently! It's the ITK thread. Not made up stuff from newspapers thread. Fuck of to the bale thread if you want to chat and say the same things over and over again, it's boring. Jesus there must be 5 posts almost identical on each page. Why post something if someone has written it 30 times? That's what the agree button is there for. Jesus. Fuck Madrid. They are all talk.

I'd still have quite a big interest in him I'm afraid. I'm Welsh see!
