If Bale is in fact leaving, I surely hope there is more than 1 other signing on the way (for our sakes).

I think he was talking about other squad members as he said 'players'.

See JJ, now that you've retired I've decided to read all of your posts in the voice of Uncle Albert, and insert "During the War" in front of everything. Much better. (y)

Let's face it, if he's not involved at Monaco, I think all the people who put money down on his staying today have been merked...

Yes.
Karim Benzema.
Current owner of the number 11 shirt at Real...
(Thought it would be worth looking up given that guff about Bale trademarking the heart gesture with a number 11 inside it).

Benzema cost Real Madrid €41m as a 21 year old. Since then, he's had a successful spell at Real Madrid, and is now in his peak aged 25. He is a regular starter for Madrid, and has scored at a rate of nearly 1 in 2 over the 4 years he's been there.

1. Why would he leave RM to join us?
2. Benzema + Coentrao + £100m is probably about £160m in today's market.
3. He would probably want £200,000 a week wages.

IF Bale goes, we need 5-6 more in IMO and quality ones at that.

If that's the case,then you might as well write next season off, because by the time that number of players have gelled, added to the 3 we've already brought, then at least half the season will be over.

EnfieldYiddo · Aug 1, 2013

Liverpool look likely to hang onto Suarez IMHO. Keeping Bale is imperative or bringing in enough quality to replace him.

Somehow I feel the two scenario outcomes are we keep him or he goes and we'll be severely underwhelmed with our 'replacements'.

I just don't see us spunking loads post Bale.

Did Bale train yesterday and today? AVB said he would be back in training for Wednesday IIRC.

not trained with the full squad and still suffering from an injury according to the guardian.

I agree this isn't ideal. This should of been sorted out earlier in the transfer window.

benzema wears 9. no one has 11.

My mistake - googled real number 11 and Benzema came up - must've been first season he was there.
Carvalho was the last to wear 11 - currently vacant.

Arse.

That was one of the straws I was clutching at!

Guys as I said in my thread in the RO this morning, Bale is NOT leaving. I've no problem saying how I get my info either. I own a marketing firm that deals with solely footballers, rugby players and musicians, however the bulk of my work is within English clubs, both premier league and championship. It's my job to make sure they're as marketable as possible, dealing with their endorsements etc.

The people I deal with know more than the majority of journalists out there... The reason I'm saying this, is because I'm 100% confident that Gareth will not be leaving.

Cheers,

M

So RM are apparently going to try to palm us off with players they were gonna sell, but soon as we supposedly ask for Morata its a no? This is such a good partnership.

I have a little bit of itk. I just smashed my missis back doors in on the trampoline whilst semi strangling her and pushing her face against the netting! From the top table x

Gardham90 · Aug 1, 2013

It is what it is. If Bale does leave, Spurs will still be there. That's all that matters at the end of the day IMO.

amathews3416 · Aug 1, 2013

Let Bale go, get Di Maria and Coentrao in the swap. Sign Lamela and that Vlad bloke and we are set.

Completely appreciate the info, but jj seems to be suggesting that false info is being leaked out the club, possibly so we can get replacements in at non-inflated prices. Could there potentially be a chance you have been fed some of this info?

Absolutely not. As I said I deal with many clubs on a daily basis sorting their endorsements and marketing. In some cases I know more than the players themselves lol

What's the problem?

They want my Baler, they need to up the offer!
