[L-man]

big smokescreen , defo seems let out on purpose and strategically

Yep because obviously we're all absolutely buzzing now that we haven't actually managed to sign a player

Levy masterclass

If it’s only one word, how can there be more on that poor excuse for a news site...

Likely that'll be a re-hash of the original info from his agent.

Look at them all trying to pull the wool over our eyes, we all know full well that the only way to do a deal of this magnitude is with 14 minutes left on the clock.

 

[TaoistMonkey]

Don't do it to yourself

 

[philll]

Bale's agent obviously telling all of the press it's not happening:

He obviously isn't crap otherwise we wouldn't be trying to sign him.

Amazed people keep giving this the time of day, the financials kill this every time

Misspelt it this time, but noted.

Most likely true. If we are indeed trying it has to be some way to get Madrid to pay part of the wages or some first refusal on Kane, alli, son etc to sweeten a deal. Who knows?

I’d still rather we swing for the fences than get in a crap backup striker. A striker hasn’t been our issue as far as I can see.

 

[Dr Benson]

I don`t belive the agent when he calls it crap and a made up story. I feel pretty sure that the papers reporting this is correct when they report that Levy has been negotiating with Real Madrid. If they find a solution all three parts can agree on is another question and maybe quite unlikely.

This will be on and off again countless times before 11pm. Take it all with a pinch of salt.

Doubt it will be tbh. Zidane and bales agent have both already dismissed it. We need a new name to get excited about even if it doesn't happen ?

 

[Soljah]

Unlikely but If levy is reading this I will buy a Bale spurs shirt every month on pay day if this happens!

Not for one minute suggesting this deal is back on. But this is what I don’t understand about the Bale situation he can’t even get in the Madrid team whilst being fit (well unless he picked up an injury today). So why would he want to stay there

Can't wait til this thread is deleted.

To collect a huge, guaranteed pay check. He’s won pretty much everything and to leave would mean effort and moving his family. He’s a guaranteed starter for Wales, so what’s his motivation for leaving?
