In fairness though, wasn't the Ronaldo deal done in principle a year earlier and kept quiet about it?
I do think any done deal that's occurred two weeks ago does sound implausible but the levels of money involved, I wouldn't completely dismiss it totally out of hand.

I think we'll be fine either way. ITK has been decently positive on both sides; it sounds like he will be properly replaced with 2-3 players.
Analogy: Your super hot girlfriend is going to possibly leave you, but if she does, 3 almost as beautiful women agree they will have sex with you.
It's a win-win, and you kinda have to wonder about that super hot girlfriend if you keep her around. You would start to wonder if you should have let her go, and instead, went with the 3 hotties that want to get it on. If you do go with the three as well, you can always score with one of them, and don't have to rely on just the 1 for some action. Happy times either way

and I want the players to want to play for Tottenham...It's a bloody honour...to wear the shirt of those who've gone before. So count me in with the "oh well" brigade cos I'm backing the team not one player. We'll continue to improve
Oh boring hell....the thread police.....

I've only been a member of SC for about a year, but have never seen such conflicting and contrasting views and supposed insider knowledge from our reliable ITKs, what a transfer window this is turning out to be, buckle up for the last couple of weeks

Only Fat Lady I remember singing was Montserrat Caballe, and she sang.......... Barcelona,I'm unsure wether you're just taking a shot or making a joke, either way it's 'singing'. The fat lady sings, she doesn't do fucking autographs
we all know Bale ain't going there ....so obviously he is staying

Here's another angle to the whole deal agreed affair; The Press. They've been all over the Bale saga like flies on shit and would refuse to let something as huge as a deal being agreed pass them by. With Barnett talking to any **** who'll put a mic in front of him, the chances of a deal being agreed not being picked up by a journo is zero.

He'd be good for them to be honest. Think I'd rather get rid of Ade though as I feel Defoe would be more comfortable playing 2nd fiddle to Soldado than Ade would.

Fair point. I would just assume that this case, being 'slightly' bigger and potentially more disruptive to the club, dressing room, and the fact that replacing him being essential that Levy will have made a decision on a sell by date. In previous years I would not have put it past Levy to sell him on deadline day without a suitable replacement (e.g. Berba) but there seems to be a greater sense of purpose and strategy to the dealings this time around. But perhaps I am just being naive...

Sherlock Holmes: The Itinerant Welshman
A fog descends over a poorly lit London street, Sherlock Holmes & his trusty sidekick, Watson are walking & discussing the latest tranche of ITK relating to a most puzzling case:
'Holmes, oft I have noted your brilliant mind, & as such I would be not disinterested in your suppositions regarding the potential likelihood of a transferring agreement for Mr Bale, a talented yet frustrating oik, of who's services have attracted the interest of the King of Spain. Just this very evening the rumours spreading around the lower classes & women of the night are shall we say, intriguing?'
'Tis a compelling, frustrating and inpenetrable case, and one that I have wrestled over in the dark of many a night, Watson dear chap...'
'I must agree entirely, Holmes. Here, the soupy, all encompassing fog that surrounds us appears to have greater clarity than this most fiendish of cases. It is thought that Mr Levy, a baccarat player of some rare skill, is playing a game of extremely high stakes this time & yet despite much opinion from all, including those thought close to said parties, nobody can be quite sure what decisions are to be made.'
'I concede it defeats me. To surmise my every thought on this case would require many a volume of writings; clues may be found in the vast depository of the SC library. It holds many, many hundreds, dash it, Watson, THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of pages of ill advised opinion on the matter and amongst that blather and baloney there is indeed some truth; though where it may reside, one shalt surely never know.'
'I concur, Holmes. We have wasted enough time. Other cases are indeed more pressing.'
'Yes, Watson, the perplexing duality of Mr Archibald and Mr Crooks bears more than a passing resemblance to that of Mr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, our investigation must proceed there... Onwards.'

'Kumb insider says the Defoe deal is on...
Trap says it's not...
There's only one way to find out the truth...'

'Not knocking Trap as I appreciate the info he passes on but I'm sure KUMB Insider has a very good strike rate with him info doesn't he?'

'That's my impression too.'

I thought their left back was part of the deal plus 85 mil?
Can't say that i am overly disappointed, first because we can strengthen the team in more than one area and secondly at least it Real fucking Madrid and not Man fucking Ure.
We have to be happy with the outcome if true given the circumstances. Levy would be stupid to turn this offer away in my opinion. Refresh the squad, add quality, reduce the average age and tear a new arse in Perez. I for one can sleep well knowing that we have a better Spurs squad if this deal goes down than if we kept Bale.
If Levy were PM we as a County would definitely have a trade surplus!
