Perhaps, but don't you think other clubs know how ambitious we are trying to be in the transfer market and how some of the more established Premier League stalwarts might be left behind?
I dare say, we'll get plenty of enquiries for Messrs Defoe, Dawson and Lennon between now and 2nd September.

Bollocks, I believe, had it not been for Bale's end of season goal scoring exploits, he was by far our best player last season. I expect that you guys who focus on stats don't go to the Lane every other week and watch us, but I do. Aaron Lennon is one of the best wingers in the prem, his defensive work and tracking back is fantastic and it would cost us 25-30m to get a player of equivalent quality. He has also been loyal to Spurs, I would hate to lose him.

townsend is definitely growing on me as a better/more suited option in 433 but as for Chadli I've seen nothing yet to suggest he's a better option (based on his time at twente, obviously he's just settling in to our team) I hope you're proved right

But that's the point, assuming Bale goes, we'll have that and more to get in better.

I said in the match thread that the Townsend/QPR link might have parallels with the Bale/Forest deal and that he's starting to produce the goods just in time to convince management he has a bright future here.
Of course it remains to be seen whether he could ever emulate Bale but his talent is evident and I always believed right from the get go it would be foolish to let him go.

Levy cannot lose. He doesn't have to sell. If he does he gets the price he wants, but if he doesn't, he gets to keep a genuine world class player. Levy wins either way.

Well, had it not been for Bale's exploits we would have been a mid-table team last year, so maybe that is his level? Also, you think he was our best player ahead of Vertonghen, Lloris, Sandro (even half a season) you're crackers.
He always puts a good shift in, I will agree he is not workshy, but 3-4-4 goals in his last three seasons, it's poor.

I honestly think Perez and co understand this logic though. There's almost the belief that it's ridiculous to even presume we won't sell and it's their right to have Bale. Still 99% he's going but it will definitely be more on Levy's terms than Perez's.

I'll be gutted if we sell Lennon. In my onion he's criminally underrated and his understanding with Walker is actually very good. We missed him today, despite some flashes from Townsend. I've seen nothing from Chadli so far to suggest he's a better option than Lennon, even as a left winger.
In addition to that, he's a brilliant option from the bench and is English (homegrown). I hope the Goat is wrong on this one. I think we'd be mad to sell him.

The Bale deal is still going to happen guys, it's just nice to know we're now rinsing them for every penny as their desperation grows.

Lamela (done according to numerous sources)
Eriksen (ours to reject according to ITK)
Nedelev (potential top quality)

Should keep Lennon on the right and try townsend on the left.
