Gareth Bale

[Chelsea? 892]

If I were Totenham, I would focus more on the players included in this deal. Mainly Di Maria and maybe Ozil/Modric + 40mil

80m is ridiculous money.

80m was the amount they spent to buy Ronaldo isnt it?

but Ronaldo seems much more worth it compared to Bale.

Much of Bale's game is based on speed. If I was Levy(I am not a JEW!) but this is a good opportunity to sell.

If the rumours are true that Hazard might want to go to Madrid in a few years, then because of this he will probably be the first £100m player.

If Bale goes for 80m plus I think we'll see AVB make a few great moves.

Soldado already looks like a Spurs player and I can see them looking at Willian (rumors about him wanting to leave Russia) and possibly AVBs good old friend Hulk.

Also theres rumors Spurs want Papadapolous from Schalke and well if the rumors about Spurs wanting Madrid to throw Modric into the Bale deal then they simply have the best MF in the league in my eyes: Paulinho, Sandro, Dembele, Holtby and Modric.

Spurs also need a better LB so with that 80 plus m they could get a good striker, good center back, replacement for Bale and a good LB they will be an allround better team due to selling Bale.

British players should never go abroad. Rule of thumb.

Luka Modric is not coming back to Spurs, he would have walked to Madrid last year, remember? Worst case scenario for him: he ends up in Manchester United. How would this be possible when everything he said this summer was that he loves Real Madrid, he is not going anywhere and Carlo Ancelotti just said very recently that he has an important role in the team? And United won't pay 60m for him anyway.

The only players they have a shot at is Di Maria and Coentrao, but even then I'm not sure they want to be stuck with their wages especially when the new stadium has to be paid off. On the other hand, I'm not sure those 2 would want to play for a team competing in the Europa League.

Ridiculous transfer fee for Bale.

Real Madrid don't need Bale...I would of thought signing a striker was their priority.

They could have easily gotten Suarez or Cavani or even Rooney for less than 80 million.

[Billy. 2,742]

Fuck off is bale worth 80+ million most over-rated player for some time, if he is worth that then Hazard is worth 150 million, Suarez 180 million

[Special Juan 28,128]

Laughable but good luck to the kid.

One thing that has gone missing in the figures quoted for Bale's transfer is that Saints are supposed to receive 2.5% of any transfer money. They must be grinning from ear to ear!

Why is this thread in the MHS?

They're worried about losing Ronaldo. He won't sign a new contract. He's asking for insane money, like £20m a season? Something like that. This is why they want Bale. He's Perez's back-up. To add to that, the guy is completely out of touch with normality. This sort of money is just crazy - no two ways about it. Ronaldo went for £80m, and in my opinion is a far superior player to Bale. Levy wanting £125m is the talk at the minute - if that is paid I give up with Levy too. Two utter idiots together; Levy and Perez. I'd call them dumb and dumber only Levy will be the exact opposite if he gets this money for a guy who has had ONE great season. To be ranked with Messi and Ronaldo is new levels of ridiculous.

He could be the 3rd best player.. dunno why you guys claim he's over-rated.

Maybe he's not really "worth" 80m, but if Real have the money than he's worth it, because he would make them so much better.

[sutro 1,026]

Gj real, you just made bale the most overrated player in history of football

What a ridiculous amount of money.
