Ive spoken to a few of my gooner mates just now (after battering them on fifa without bale on the team btw lol)

But anyway we spoke seriously about how we would be without bale(if he left)and you know what they fear us still. And these fans aint dopes they are very knowledgable and we always tend to get into great debates.

They think with bale of course we would be extremely frightening and mount a top 3 challenge. But also without and with more quality additions on top of soldado (who are very envy of that signing btw) paulinho and chadli. With the bale money we could buy more quality to actually have an all round team full of real super quality that wont need to rely on one player.

I completely agreed. Correct me if im wrong i want a team as a unit to be a team that everyone is scared of not just a team and people single out one player instantly. Of course bale is an amazing player and i want him to stay BUT it could end up as a blessing because it could then mean we can build a team full of winners and really go for it this season.

Thats why either way i am so optimistic this year. AVB in my opinion will relish the challenge this year with the squad he has/will have.

Hi Agr,

To answer your question, yes i have got things wrong in the past, i have been informed of stuff that hasn't happened or has completely changed, nothing however has been been made up which is a different conversation!

That is the risky business of passing on stuff you can be a hero 1 day and look like a complete tit the next. So when you receive ITK on here etc you should always play the ball and not the man . Its a bit too risky for me now that's why after this window i will be hanging up my boots. I know i have said that before this time its for real.....
This time it's for real... (Madrid?). Are you Gareth bale?

You're completely right about Gareths' other half not wanting to go. She has a very close relationship with his parents. She wears the trousers in the relationship, and she's not one you'd want to cross, trust me!
I can confirm that......she def wears the trousers.

I think I will send you an inbox now this is spot on to what I know.

Emma doesn't even spend much time in Essex by all accounts!

You heard anything about how the man himself feels about all this?

Don't answer if you don't want to, I know I'm being incredibly cheeky here.

Thanks JJ,

Yeh I fully understand where your coming from I knew about caulker a few days back but didn't want to share it on here as it goes all over twitter in seconds plus the reactions I seen when caulker was announced I'm glad I didn't share it haha!. It's a risky business especially when it could result in you or somebody else losing a job in this climate I'm not sure it's fully worth the risk.
Even posting as the goat people seem to guess who it is that has posted it. Twitter is the other main culprit like when I broke lloris was out of the Swansea game within 5 mins I had gained 90 followers and 5 dm's from journos asking questions but in my excitement of spreading it I realised I was giving away vital team news!.

Well that's that then: he's staying. There's no way a woman with a newly born is going to be persuaded to make such a life changing move if she doesn't want to.Massive upheaval away from her security network of family and friends.

That's it, my flag is down - he's staying.:)
But that's why GB wants to leave now! So he can return to the UK within 3-4 years, ready for his kid to start school.

I'm willing to go to Spain dressed as a Welshman and allow a gang of you guys to beat the shit out of me. We'll then take turns being the 'Welshman' who gets the shit kicked out of him, every day, for a few weeks.

The media will pick up on the Anti-Welsh beatings occurring across Spain (particularly in Madrid) and Bale will stay at Spurs.

We'll even release some Al-Qaeda style videos of a Welsh fellow being taunted with a red flag by several guys in matador get-up.

JJ, you posted a while back that 3 quality signings in and one special out, was Soldado one of the 3 in? or can we expect 3 more?
Yes 1 was Soldado.
Just checking that i did mention that we were trying to get rid of dodgy CD last week?

That's it for me. If they give us a Ronaldo style £80M cash payment -- he's going, no question. If they offer say £40M + a player and everything else in instalments we'll tell them to jog on. Then it's all about how dirty Gareth is prepared to play to get the move.

I only think his agent wants him to go. And if I were his agent, so would I.

I could retire and buy a couple of boats.

Ain't got a clue how he feels.

But they are known for being a super close loved up couple!.

You can also add just the general stereotype of the welsh we love our green green grass of home

Yes, a few 'done' deals he called fell through. It happens. *kanyeshrug*

He also called Saha out of the blue, when the masses thought we were getting a top draw striker, cant think who it was there have been to many...oh it might have been that brazillian striker Leandro :D

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?

And how do we know he's not the one recieving the false info?

Clubs are not stupid. Even if the transfer of GB is not announced, if we go say for Lamela, and offer 30m, Roma will assume we are selling GB and inflate the price

But thanks for all your updates, you can easily choose to keep things to yourself but you want to share to us your family of weirdos. And that i appreciate alot. Cheers


And yep i know there was no question involved in my message :)

The other interesting thing of all this is bale is in his last year with the stellar group maybe they are dying to push the move to get one last pay day out of the worlds biggest cash cow atm
