Not to discredit the ITKs but that quote/article right there is where I finally felt this might actually happen.

ON THE BBC NOW BOYS. LOOK AT THE QUOTE FROM BARNETT TOO!

Wow, that's pretty big coming from Barnett.
Makes one think that he may have been told something by his client. He's normally a "no comment" type of guy, or just plain quick to shoot down speculation.

Means Dele would for sure be off next Summer... wouldn't be upset at all.

Clever move IMO, after Dele's start at the club Levy must have always had a price in mind if we were to sell him. Probably a very high price after his first few seasons.

His performances now make that price unachievable. A good season at a club at Madrid give us a much better stance if we are to sell.

I don't think Dele would enjoy his time in Madrid... those fans are brutal to players like Bale!
Bale and Dele are nothing like each other. Dele’s personality will suit Madrid much better. It’s whether he’s good enough, that’s the question. Different style, might suit him, might not.

Although I think I probably wandered into an alternate dimension at some point today, so who knows?

I’m excited but please don’t forget how Madrid fucked him over at the last minute when he was due to go to China.

Madrid are desperate to get rid of him, they won't demand Dele. Maybe they are asking about him but I doubt that deal depends on him.

Been to make a cup of tea. What's happened while I've been gone? Madrid throwing Modric in but only if they get GLC every other weekend? We get Isco for October in return for Madrid getting one year free first team access to the SkyWalk? Benzema for Son and a barrel of Neck Oil?

Not sure about this, translation. Where’s this guy getting it from?

Bale charges 14M, so the half is 7. Dele charges 6. Levy wants to loan Bale and take Dele (does not fit with Mou) and leave at -1M € . Madrid would stay at -13M €

Tottenham agrees to pay 50% of Bale's salary if Real Madrid pays Dele Alli 100% of his salary (he would arrive on loan). Disbelief of the directive before Levy's proposal.
